description: SHE WAS BELLIGERENT AND IRREVERENT, AND HE WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE ...
  
  Widowed at thirty-three, with two small kids to bring up alone, Beverly Simpson wanted to blame someone. Until now, fate had been on her side, she admitted that, but in a cruel twist she'd been abandoned--by the only man she'd ever loved, and by a God she'd trusted. Angry, hurt, and still full of regret for what she'd lost, Bev hid her fear and loneliness behind a brave face and a sassy, irreverent approach to what life still offered. Maybe it was her unwillingness to accept defeat that first gotJoe Clark's attention, or maybe it was the longing in her eyes that tantalized him. But once she had him smitten, Bev knew she'd found herself some real trouble.
  
  Joe--strong, tender, and singleminded when he wanted something, or someone--was a minister, a man who believed in the God who'd betrayed her. She knew she was as wrong for him as a woman could be--but she wanted him, enough to seduce the handsome devil into her arms, at least for as long as it lasted. But did she have enough faith in the power of love to risk loving him?
