Always and Forever, Elizabeth
(2024)(The fourth book in the Scripted Love series)
A novel by Emily Dana Botrous
Their wounds run deeper than either could have imagined. Will they let God have final say about their future?
Elizabeth O’Toole never expected to be a widow with three children to support. She’ll do what it takes to survive, though, since her adoptive parents are no help—even if it means taking a job from the man who shattered her heart in high school. All she has to do is keep her distance.
Widower Victor Halverson has his hands full juggling a career as a doctor, raising three small children, and drowning in guilt over his wife’s death. He’s desperate for a nanny, but can he handle facing his worst regret on a daily basis when she applies?
When Victor discovers a life-altering secret about Elizabeth, he knows what he must do. Marrying her ought to atone for the past. And maybe it would if Elizabeth had stopped loving him the first time he broke her heart. The last thing she needs now is marriage to another man who doesn’t love her. Too bad he’s her only option, for better or for worse.
Content warning: contains sensitive references to domestic violence, sexual violence, and the death of a child.
The Scripted Love series is a Christian romance series set along the shores of Lake Michigan. Join the Halverson siblings as they grow their faith and find love through the written word. This is the final book in the series, but each title can be read as a standalone.
Genre: Inspirational
