Will pulling weeds in Sloan's beloved garden help her see that she can trust the attorney with her heart? Especially since he represented her ex-husband in the divorce…
Sloan Lindscott has always loved plants. Gardens and flowers speak to her heart much stronger than any person. But right now—after her husband of nearly forty years left her for a younger woman—even her nursery doesn’t offer much solace, and her faith is floundering. With the help of her two longtime friends, her sons and their families, and her nursery, she’ll pick up the pieces eventually, but she’ll never allow herself to be duped by another man again. Especially after Knox, her ex’s best friend, betrayed her in the worst way. A man she thought was her friend too.
Knox Winter could punch his best friend for abandoning Sloan. What was Ed thinking giving up everything for a young girl? His friends had it all. Strong faith, a beautiful family, four decades of shared history. All things Knox wished he had to help him recover after his wife’s death. As a family practice attorney, Knox helps couples navigate uncharted territories of divorce, but when Ed approached Knox about representing him, Knox had felt torn. He took the case, though, knowing that he would be much kinder and gentler to Sloan than any of his peers, but now Sloan blames him for the divorce.
The truth gnawed at him. Had he represented his friend because for years secretly he’d been in love with Ed’s wife? Can Sloan ever forgive him for his part in their divorce? Will Knox ever convince her that he delights in her faith, her strength and independence, and her devotion to her family? Will pulling weeds in her beloved nursery help her see that she can trust him with her heart? Will their faith draw them together and give them a second chance at love? Or will they spend the rest of their lives alone?
Heart's Delight, a heartwarming and clean, mature-age Christian romance, is Book 16 in The Potter’s House Books Series Three. Stories of ‘hope, redemption and second chances.’ Read all of The Potter's House Books and be blessed.
