Roar by Linda K. Rodante

For a year now, New Life Church has reached out to the gangs of the north side neighborhood. Faithful member, Becca Stapleton, lives to magnify the Lord through dance, but when she becomes involved in a gangland murder, her life becomes anything but the dance she imagined.
Wes Lloyd helped her pull the body from the waves. Classically tall, dark and handsome, Wes should have swept her off her feet, but is his innocent bystander persona real or an act? And how will she know?
Luis Ramirez, the gang leader accused of murder, has hardened himself to the role he’s playing. Drugs, gang wars, and robbery are his life. But Becca and the man they call Reece have something he doesn’t have—peace. He’s not sure he wants it, but he can’t seem to get free of them or their caring. Not only are the police after him, but a larger gang is advocating for war, so he might have nothing to lose by investigating this Jesus. If, that is, he lives long enough.
