Child of Grace (Love Inspired)
“After the bombshell she’d dropped last evening, he hadn’t managed to clock more than two hours of sleep. Instead, he’d spent the dark hours tossing as he’d grappled with the implications of the choice before her—and prayed she’d make the one that would clear the path for their friendship to transition to something deeper.
Because as the long night had dragged by minute by agonizing minute, he’d become more and more convinced he could never accept as his own the child she carried. Every time he looked at her son and daughter he’d think of the man who’d brutalized the woman who was stealing his heart. That, in turn, would lead to feelings of anger and resentment instead of love. Feelings a child could pick up. And he feared Kelsey would have the same problem.
All of which had convinced him that everyone would be best served if the child was adopted by a couple who had no baggage and could offer the baby the unconditional love it deserved.
The only bright spot in his long night had been ...the hope that in the month before the child was born, he could persuade Kelsey to see the logic of his reasoning.MoreLess
