Widowed at thirty-three with two young kids, Beverly Simpson wants someone to blame. Angry, harm, and full of regret for what she’s dropped, she rails against a once respected God and hides her loneliness behind a sassy exterior. Joe Clark, intrigued by Bev’s irreverent lifestyle, stubbornly pursues her. However, the pair have two very different outlooks on lifestyle. Joe is a dedicated preacher, while Bev insists she no more even feels in God. Despite being polar opposites, they can’t hide their attraction to one another, but reconciling their values may be harder than they thought. Will trust and love be adequate to mend a damaged heart? Originally published in 1987, Tempted can be an uplifting tale of betrayal and trust which will refresh listeners.
