Excerpt:
She scraped the cold brown grave off a wedge of beef chop and took a bite. Cold, tough, and stringy. Then I became an army wife. I would travel. I would meet people. I would raise a family. But a barren womb. And a barren marriage.
She broke off a hunk of sourdough bread and nibbled on it. Crusty, dry, stale. Of course, I didn’t know it was a barren marriage. He was just busy. Always moving up in the ranks. Always taking troops somewhere. Always needing to check in with the War Department in Washington, D.C. She stayed at the fort and planned a big gala for his return. Little did she know that every time she planned a big affair, he was having one.
From The General’s Notorious Widow, a western Christian romance novel.
