Common Grounds - Tabor Heights, Year 1, #3

Welcome to Tabor Heights:A friendly little town on Ohio's North Coast, where sweet romance is always in the air. Here you'll be able to explore the lives of the members of the congregation of Tabor Christian Church in the space of two years. The stories overlap, and there's no one right place to start. Just like any small town, you come in, you meet someone, you hear their story and get to know them, and they introduce you to their friends, tell you something about them, and you learn those stories.
As you get to know these new friends, they introduce you to other people, and tell you about other interesting stories in town. It's the same way with Tabor Heights. Start with the story that interests you the most, and then branch out. Settle back and enjoy your visit. Welcome!COMMON GROUNDSHannah Blake has given up on being anything more to Xander Finley than his Gal Friday and partner in running Common Grounds legal clinic.
Other than attending the same church, what else do they have in common?Then the process of opening up a branch office in Tabor Heights becomes ... complicated. First they face resistance from a local judge and another lawyer who is a member of their church, and doesn't seem to have gotten the memo that he should be supporting them. Then they find the body of the 3rd victim of the White Rose Killer in their new office.
When the White Rose Killer seems to have chosen Hannah as his next 'true love', Xander's attentions become warmer and more personal. Hannah knows better than to hope this improvement in their relationship will last beyond the crisis. Foxhole love isn't any more real than foxhole religion, right? Xander, on the other hand, is glad his eyes have finally been opened. The problem is convincing Hannah that he's for real.
It's time to pray for more than her safety. After all, in the final analysis, what good is his life without Hannah in every part of it?
