Will a blurred line between right and wrong keep her from succeeding where it matters most?

Several years after a nasty divorce, Carla (Cordel) Martens is remarried with a new faith, a successful career, and back at home in the city that she loves. She’s started dreaming again of making partner at the law firm she works at and this time, with her only daughter grown and living out of state, nothing is going to stand in her way.

Military man Tim Martens never planned to marry, but after meeting Carla, an independent woman with crystal blue eyes, at a charity event, all his plans changed in the blink of an eye. Now, a few years into their life together, though, marriage has become something he never imagined it would be.

When Tim wants his ailing mom to move in, Carla struggles to set healthy boundaries in her life, and a new, persistent partner joins the firm, it quickly becomes clear that a boiling point is coming for them.

In a moment of stark honesty, Carla realizes choices that are neither black nor white, have left her marriage, her faith, and her character, on shaky ground.

Now, they’re both going to have to decide if their marriage will crack and fall apart under pressure or grow stronger in the heat.
