Heartstrings

Veterinarian Joel Taylor has loved his wife, Angela Wright, a family physician, since they met in college. At a conference, he has a drunken one-night fling with an old girlfriend—the biggest mistake of his life.

Ridden with guilt, he is desperate to preserve their marriage, begs forgiveness and insists Angela can trust him to remain faithful. But months later, she wrestles with doubts. To make matters worse, she's pregnant again—at age 45!

Will Joel be tempted again, perhaps with one of the customers at his vet clinic? Is Roxy really out of the picture, now that her brother owns a llama farm on Cedar Island? And does Joel really love Angela, or does he want to stay married only for the sake of their children, whom he adores?

Angela no longer feels she can control her own body, much less her relationship with Joel. An emergency cesarean birth saves their baby but spins her deeper into her illness. Joel enlists the assistance of Angela's obstetrician and a pair of marriage counselors. But have they reached Angela in time?
