The Better Choice

A Christian romance novel

By: Emily Josephine

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Pain and heartbreak linger in Renee Lawson’s soul even as she escapes to the Ozark mountains to act as one of the area’s cave guides. She is as determined to remain single as she is to stay away from her home state of New York, where gut-stabbing memories lie.

Then Kirk Bedlow comes along. Handsome, confident, and strong, he immediately catches Renee’s attention – much to her dismay. She successfully avoids him like the plague until she meets the little girl with Down’s Syndrome in Kirk’s custody, Corrina, and the two become instant friends. Still, Renee is hesitant to visit her in Kirk’s home.

Kirk is just as reluctant. Despite the obvious chemistry between him and Renee, he is unsure that he wants to develop a relationship with her. His past shame forces him to keep more than one secret that, once discovered, he is sure would cause a rift in their budding friendship. But as she restores her faith in God, and he begins to find real faith for the first time, they agree to take their friendship to a deeper level. Until Renee comes to the conclusion that Kirk is trying to get Corrina out of his life.

Renee abruptly shuts him out of her own life and renews her determination not to trust another man ever again. The day that Corrina loses herself inside the cave where Renee has worked for the past eight months forces Renee and Kirk to face their feelings toward each other…and forces Kirk to face his biggest fears.

This full-length inspirational romance novel is the fourth and final book in the “Choices and Chances” series.
