Teena and Steve: A Love Story

She'd watched him for fourteen months. She'd never said a word. Teena has watched Steve Ashford from a distance for fourteen months - his quiet strength, his solitude, his faithfulness in the small things - and she has come to a conclusion she cannot pray away: he is the man God means for her life. So when her job closes its doors, she doesn't wait for an introduction. She sells everything she owns, drives to his farm, and moves in. Steve returns home to a stranger's cooking in his kitchen and a claim staked in his guest room - and finds he cannot make himself send her away. As their households merge into something neither expected, Faith Baptist's whispers grow louder, until their pastor forces the question neither of them can avoid: is this conviction, or is it sin? Teena has never doubted where this was leading. Steve just needs time to catch up.
