Thundering Heart by Carolyn R. Scheidies

Thundering Heart by Carolyn R. Scheidies is a winner of the Treble Heart Books Award for Best Contemporary Inspirational Romance. To recover from the betrayal of her fiance falling in love with gorgeous best friend, Andrea Johnson retreats to a secluded resort for a vacation. She meets two men - Dirk Nelson at first stirs her passion and leads her to rationalize sharing her faith as an excuse for spending time with him and ultimately to questioning her own values. The mysterious Graham Andrews has secrets, but his dislike of journalists, his guilt over the auto accident that took the lives of his wife and daughter, and his weakened faith as a result of his losses aren't part of his secrets. Andrea has her own secret - she can't tell Graham that she's a journalist, and her first inclination was to delve into the mystery and find out his secrets. Thundering Heart deals realistically with issues of faith, self-esteem, loss, trust, and love. An enjoyable and inspiring story.
