Rachel Brenner never thought she would find a love like this, one that took her breath away. David Anderson makes her feel things she's never felt before. He steals her heart unexpectedly and she will happily give him anything he desires. Even marriage, the one thing that she said she would never endure again. But it isn't enough; he wants more, more than she is willing to give. It is a path God wants her on, but she doesn't know how to overcome the pain of her past. Will David's love be enough?

David wants marriage and a mother to his children. It's what he needs more than anything. With each passing day, his longing for Rachel is greater, his love for her overwhelming, as he fights the constant battle with his mind and physical needs of a man who has abstained for two years. He has to convince her to marry him-soon. Make her see what they could have if they were to become one.

Although he is an upstanding Christian man, dedicated to the church, the sins of his past could come back to haunt him, through the one and only person he is closest to. And he is afraid that revealing that part of himself could ultimately cause a rift between him and Rachel, and he doesn't want to lose her. But can he trust her? Trust her to be faithful to him and only him? Not to be taken in by the attention of his rival? And does she love him enough to give him the one thing he promised so long ago?
