Devotion

by Marianne Evans

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

From This Day Forward
Christian Music agent Kellen Rossiter has everything he ever wanted: A-list clients from coast to coast, a loving wife who honors and respects him, and a faith life that’s never wavered—until now.

Juliet Rossiter has the perfect life: a rewarding schedule serving the underprivileged, a husband who loves her as Christ loved the church, and a blessed future as a mother—at least that's what she thinks.

For Better or Worse
But what happens when their rock-solid marriage begins to crumble under the weight of an unexpected and powerful temptation? How does love survive when its foundation is shaken?

'Til Death Do Us Part
When human frailty and the allure of sin deal a harsh blow to their relationship, it will take more than love to mend the shattered trust and heartbreak. It will take a lifetime of devotion.

EXCERPT

A few days after their arrival, as Kellen stretched out beneath the blankets, Juliet prepared to join him. He sat with his back propped against a pair of fluffy white pillows and the wooden headboard and she stuttered to a stall. Unmindful of her hesitation, Kellen turned to the nightstand and picked up his Bible.

“I’m glad you packed this.” He opened it, resettling comfortably.

“No problem. I wish I could have packed the one May and Jack got you when you turned thirteen. I know how special it is to you, but I also know that one is always with you at work.”

Kellen stopped turning pages to focus on her. The warmth and affection in his eyes ran so deep it stole her breath. “Do you know what I’m growing to realize more and more?”

“What’s that?” Juliet stretched out on top of the bed covers, no longer in a hurry to click off the light and sleep. She leaned on an elbow and studied him, waiting.

“Married life is made up of so many ordinary, day-to-day exchanges and moments, like how well you know me, and how precious a thing relationship is. Marriage is about love, sure, but it’s also about building the sequence and patterns and memories of a life by sharing times just like this. It’s a privilege. Marriage to you is a privilege, Juliet.”

Their gazes held. Juliet nibbled the inside of her cheek, touched but uncertain how to proceed.

Until an idea took root. “Know what would be a privilege to me?”

“What?”

“Praying together.”
