But as she restores her faith in God, and he begins to find real faith for the first time, they agree to take their friendship to a deeper level. Until Renee comes to the conclusion that Kirk is trying to get Corrina out of his life. Renee abruptly shuts him out of her own life and renews her determination not to trust another man ever again. The day that Corrina loses herself inside the cave where Renee has worked for the past eight months forces Renee and Kirk to face their feelings toward each other…and forces Kirk to face his biggest fears.
