Now he's just trying to stay alive.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Yesterday, Parker Saint's only concern was his swiftly rising star power. </strong></p><p><strong>Today, he's just trying to stay alive.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong>Parker Saint is living the dream. A cushy job at a thriving megachurch has him on the verge of becoming a bestselling author and broadcast celebrity--until life takes an abrupt turn that lands him on the wrong side of the law.
