Soaped (A Christian Romance)

“Here’s what Noah wants to do,” he said. “He wants to prove how very wonderful you are.” He lowered his face to hers. “He wants to give in and spend the night in here, not on the couch. But that’s not what Sloane deserves. Life is not a soap opera. It isn’t written and edited in a script for the Great Director in the sky to give us our cue. Instead, we stumble along, speaking out of turn, and He has to correct us again and again. Life is full of mistakes, and I can’t say if taking this part as Trace on the soap was one of those or not. It could be I compromised myself today, but if so, that’s what forgiveness is for. I admit it was wrong, and I move on.”

Caught up in a world of make believe, soap opera star Sloane Krieger has forgotten who she really is. What the world sees in her television character, a lying, cheating, hateful woman, is what she’s become.

When up-and-coming actor, Noah Lee, is hired as her love interest, she finds in him, after hours, something she’s forgotten she could be – herself.

But the hardest part of her life is yet to come, and the one thing she needs to fall in love just might be the one thing she can’t quite accept. Forgiveness.
