“Amelia?”
“I’m here, Tony.”
“So, how about dinner with me?”
“What makes you want to go to dinner with me?”
“It looks like you and I are going to have to find a way to get along pretty well considering we’re going to end up working together regardless of the turn of things,” he explained.
She listened intently for any suggestive tone in his last statement. But there was none. He sounded friendly.
“Look, I know you’re probably skeptical,” he told her. “To you, I’m basically the jerk who’s been having nothing else to say to you except how many copies or faxes I need.”
Just the reminder, along with the oversight of his acknowledgement about everything, hit a nerve for her. The fact that he would mention only the surface of their issues felt like sheer insult.
“But let me show you another side to myself, Amelia.” His tone was now lowered – and more warm. “You know what? How about I take you and your Aunt to lunch with me on Saturday? That way, you don’t have to pull yourself away from her if you’re still trying to spend that time with her.”
“Tony,” she said in an almost falsetto whisper. “Tony, it’s…it’s really a nice offer. B-But…I just…”
“Can you just think about it?”
There was something about his call that just seemed too desperate. With all her heart, she wanted to trust his effort. But she just couldn’t. She had learned a long time ago not to trust him and had foolishly let her guard down during one date, which proved to be a final one to her benefit.
“What if I told you that you don’t need to do all this just to clear the air between us?” She replied. “You and I are both professional enough to work together civilly.”
“What if I told you that I just want to take you out?”
“You took me out already, Tony. And we really had a nice time. So, thank you for that. And I think it’s best that I don’t mention any other time beyond that one simple date. Now, why don’t you just keep going down the list of those who haven’t had the golden opportunity to date you yet? The women are actually lined up.” The anger in her tone, though contained, was undeniably clear.
“Okay, well, look…I guess I’ll see you around the office, Amelia.
Acknowledgements
All glory and honor to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Who is our Way, Truth, and Life to our Father in Heaven. I am so thankful to Him for another opportunity to write and finally finish this novel.
I am thankful for my husband of eighteen years (Elder), our children (Elder II, Brendon, Dimitri and Tatiana), my parents (Milton and Cynthia), my brother, my sister, all four of my grandparents, my family, my friends, and my pastor.
As I have written in previous novels, I also want to begin this series acknowledging that there is no fiction on earth that can measure up to the awesome parables which Jesus spoke to teach us how to live. While I believe Marriage Vows Under Fire can entertain as well as minister to your heart, it is a secondary source of learning.
There is no encouraging, and assuring book to read like the Holy Bible. There is no saving book apart from God’s Word. So, if you put this novel down to pick the scriptures up, you’re on the right path. And while you do read this fiction, feel free to discern its content in light of The Word.

A Single Woman’s Journey Through Marriage Preparation
“When You, She, And She Want That Same Man” Part One
“Your Desire, Wait, And Devotion” Part Two
A single Christian woman’s hope may be to spend her life with the future husband of her dreams. This blessed, acceptable desire can be presented to the Father, who ordains marriage and calls believers to marry within the faith of Jesus Christ. But He does not call females to compete and scorn one another over common quests for the same eligible men. He cherishes His time with His single daughters to mold their characters in Christ as well as to prepare them for desired marriages.
Within today’s Christian settings, there are divisions resulting from intense competitions among single women who outnumber the eligible male believers. Some single women also often struggle with who they are in Christ without the approving smiles of men. In two parts, author Lanette Zavala shares her own past experiences as a single believer while addressing a number of issues relating to women’s relationships as Christian sisters. Such topics discussed are:
•Courting non-believers to dodge competitions in today’s churches;
•“Claiming” a certain man as a future husband in Jesus’ name;
•Discerning the motives of men who juggle the hearts of women in church;
•Taming bad attitudes that hurt other females over eligible men;
•Setting patterns of distrust by taking somebody else’s boyfriend through covetousness;
•Finding and defining your identity in Christ as a single woman.
