Fellowship with her church family keeps loneliness at bay. If, sometimes in the deepest dark of night, she wished a pair of strong, male arms held her tight, she suppresses the desire. Nina has been there, done that, and still bore the scars from her last disastrous relationship. As a result, she’s more than content to wait on God to send love her way. Suddenly, Nina has three men vying for her attention: Roberto, Ronald, and Timothy. Which one will Nina choose? More importantly, which man is God’s choice for her? Faith, like love, is a matter of the heart. But what’s a woman to do when she no longer trusts her heart? Publisher's Note: Nina's Dilemma was previously published as The Apology and Love's Challenges. The books have been extensively revised and combined, however the original plot remains the same. less

Being a parent is hard work. Being a stepparent? Even tougher. With stepchildren being the number two cause of divorce, it’s a good thing Nina and Roberto worked out a plan on how to deal with the children while they were engaged. When that plan is put to the test, will their marriage crumble under the strain?
