Heartstrings

Veterinarian Joel Taylor has been in love with 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 continues to wrestle with her 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 enlists Joel to care for his animals? And does Joel really love Angela, or does he simply want to stay married for the sake of their children, whom he adores?
