• Matched in Miracle-Book 1, Chapter 1

    Lacy Cooper stood in her lavish executive office that overlooked the park below, staring at the termination letter in her trembling hands. Her heart sank as she absorbed the words, spelling out the end of her career in Los Angeles.   She had dedicated her entire profession to the prestigious Sterling Financial Solutions, but the more she dug into the company’s finances, the more discrepancies she found.
