The Darkest Hour - Carmen and Alex Series, #3

The mind can endure a limited amount of pain before it begins to shut things out. For Carmen, her darkest hour is the loss of the baby she always wanted, but that is only part of her ordeal. Carmen and Alex both want a baby, but the doctors say Alex is sterile. He wants to adopt a baby but Carmen isn't convinced the doctor is right. She has seen the down side of adoption and she is hoping for a different solution to the prospect of children.
Alex is patient with Carmen until she conceives shortly after his two week business trip to South America. At that point he is certain that the baby isn't his. To his way of thinking, the one person he thought he could trust has betrayed him. Carmen is shocked that Alex thinks she could be unfaithful. She is trying to understand his point of view, but he is making her life miserable. Trust and respect are no longer a part of their marriage.
When Carmen loses the baby, she blames Alex and unconsciously pushes the entire experience from her mind. They are no longer a couple, but entities instead. They must find their way back to sharing, but that means Carmen must face the painful truth."The Darkest Hour" is the third in the popular Carmen and Alex Series of clean romance novels. It is emotion-packed and dark at times, but it points a path toward rebuilding a marriage after a disaster.
