The Anointed Husband (The Groveling Husbands #6)

He prays for the strength to keep his distance.

She prays for a husband who will finally touch her.

Ana thought marrying the church's most respected man would give her the kind of love she'd always dreamed of. Instead, three years into their marriage, she's trapped in a relationship where every kiss ends too soon, every embrace comes with distance, and intimacy is scheduled like an obligation.

Everyone calls him

Anointed Fred

—the handsome, devoted man of God with unwavering self-control.

No one knows the truth.

When loneliness pushes Ana to the edge of a decision that could destroy everything, Fred realizes the walls he's spent years building may cost him the woman he loves.

Now, one night and one impossible choice stand between them.

Will they finally confront the truth that's been keeping them apart... or lose the marriage God brought together?
