One Among Men — Connie Almony

Contemporary Christian Romantic Suspense She applied to run the all-female dorm at Maryland State University. Then why must she live in the all-male dorm instead?Samantha Hart wants to find Godly purpose within her new Christian faith, like her missionary best friend, but is forced to take a job as the resident director of the all-male, Calvert Hall, where she gets to baby-sitting pampered party boys, rather than change lives. Facing the typical challenges of her position, such as sexual assaults and drug use by residents, and those unique to being a woman, she leans heavily on her faith. She must also gain respect from young men who view her as a sex object -- one of whom is stalking her -- while guarding against the campus serial rapist. It doesn't help that her boss treats her like an imbecile. So why did God put her here when her experience was with women's issues and she'd applied for the all-female building? Chris Johnson, a rock guitarist who is returning to school as a music major, is intrigued by the resident director and the faith she shares with her muscle-bound resident assistant from “the hood,” nick-named Preacher. While Chris observes how they act on their beliefs, he is drawn into a relationship with a ruthless supplier of the on-campus drug trade. While observing Sam's care of students who don't deserve her efforts, Chris assists her on the sly. Can he manage his two worlds without risking Samantha's life?
