UNTANGLING
THE KNOT
BLURB:
“I
did what?”
Twenty-eight year old Gabriella Bessu is
St. Therese’s meticulous wedding ceremony coordinator. So the fact that she has
mistakenly signed her newest couple up for an annulment, rather than a wedding,
sends her Catholic guilt into overdrive.
But who can blame her? The groom is
gorgeous and his two kids tug at Gabriella’s heart in a way that overcomes all
her best intentions. Before long she’s in over her head, fixing her mixed-up
plans and helping the children and dad come to terms with their haunting grief
for the mother and wife they lost years earlier.
Can Gabriella untangle her own fears and
accept the messy life that God has handed them?
EXCERPT:
Mandy’s accusations
rang through Gabriella’s mind and guilt practically doubled her over. She
dropped her bags inside the door and went into the bathroom to splash cold
water on her face. The image that met her in the mirror had shame written all
over it.
What had she been
thinking? Ryan and the
kids belonged to Mandy and she had been acting like a lovesick teenager. Scenes
from the beach flashed through her mind; Ryan’s smiles at her and the desire
she’d had to reach out and kiss him. Filled with self-loathing, she shook her
head to get rid of the images.
Her dropped bags at
the front door mocked her, so she picked them up and dragged them to her
bedroom then crumpled onto the bed. One hand over her eyes, she let the images
flood her. With her free hand she reached over and switched on her radio hoping
to block out the accusing voices in her head. Her favorite news show was
quizzing celebrities on the week’s news, but something about their conversation
alarmed her. It took a moment to realize what it was.
She stared at the
radio, stunned. If Whose News was on, it meant it was Sunday . . . Sunday!

I was dating a guy after I got divorced...he just forgot to tell me that during the time we were seeing each other that he got remarried, making me the other woman. Nothing I have worse than a cheater, except maybe one that puts me in a situation unknowingly!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandie... yikes, that is a tangled mess. I am wondering now what happened after (not to the lying &%*, but whith you). I hope that Karma, God or fate, whichever you believe in, had a way of making it up to you.
DeleteThanks so much for sharing your story and the journey.
