Love Can Cover a Multitude of Sins
 
Washed ashore on Fairweather Key, Ruby O'Shea and her three nieces–the offspring of the pirate Thomas Hawkins and Ruby's late sister–have a chance for a new beginning as Ruby takes a job in a boardinghouse and the girls are passed off as her daughters.  But will Ruby be able to confess all when she falls for Micah Tate, a widower, wrecker, and soon-to-be preacher? 

Micah is determined to marry the young woman who has captured his heart despite knowing she has something to hide.  But will he be able to remain true to his vows when his lady love's shady past comes to light? 
 
Captain Thomas Hawkins will go to any length to discover the whereabouts of his daughters.  What will his determination cost the folks of Fairweather Key? 
 
When Ruby finds herself bereft of her newfound love and protector, will she run away in an attempt to escape her present as she did her past?  Will Micah's love cover the multitude of Ruby's sins, or will Ruby's duplicity cost her everything? 
 
My Review:
 
I've read each book in the Fairweather Key series as soon as it came out.  They have all been wonderful books with deep messages of love from God. 
 
I believe BELOVED COUNTERFEIT is the most powerful of all.  The story depicts just how strong the love of God is as it covers every sin and renews the lives of those who come to Him. 
 
Through the strong characters facing myriad dilemmas, readers will be brought to the realization that nothing in their lives can keep them from the God who loves and seeks them. 
 
I highly recommend this wonderful read!
