Lace & Honor

After two years of college, Kayla Perry runs out of money and joins the Army to finish nursing school. Focused on her studies, she insists she has no time for romance-until fate intervenes in the form of Sergeant Paul Lake, a determined soldier chasing his own military dream…and Kayla's heart.Specialist Marissa Poe, a white girl from a small town in Idaho, is certain of three things: she only dates Black men, she's leaving the Army in two weeks, and she'll be attending Penn State in the fall. But when her latest relationship crumbles and her academic future is derailed, Marissa faces a transformation that forces her to confront who she really is and what she truly wants.Meanwhile, Elizabeth Shupe, a Louisiana native and Army wife, is as close to Kayla as a sister but can hardly stand Marissa-and no one knows why. Ecstatic when she discovers she's pregnant, Liz's joy turns bittersweet when her husband is deployed to Iraq, leaving her to navigate a high-risk pregnancy alone.Bound by friendship, tested by love, and reshaped by hardship, these three women must face their pasts, their fears, and their own demons before they can step into the future with faith, strength, and honor.
