The Secret Heart (Mended Vessels Series) (Volume 3)

By Marie Wells Coutu

Description:

Truth is messy. But will their shared secret destroy his political career—or sabotage their marriage?
After a whirlwind romance, beautiful Shawna Moore marries Hunter Wilson, the governor of Tennessee. Now, she wonders if the governor ever loved her or only hoped to avoid a scandal.
In this modern re-imagining of the biblical story of Bathsheba and King David, an investigative reporter is asking questions—the wedding took place only six weeks following the death of Shawna’s first husband in Iraq. If he discovers the truth about Shawna’s baby, Hunter’s chances for reelection, as well as Shawna’s reputation, will be ruined.
But keeping their secret is destroying their marriage.
Will Hunter’s choice mean the end of his political career or his family?

Book Takeaway:

Secrets, even shared ones, can destroy relationships; truth may be uncomfortable but is necessary for trust to be restored.

Why the author wrote this book:

Each of the Mended Vessels series, based on biblical women, tells the story of a woman who discovers that God can repair her life and give her purpose in spite of her past. I hope that is an encouragement to any woman who recognizes her own brokenness.
