In Devoted, we meet Russ. Russ is a single father raising his young son after his wife's tragic death. Russ is barely keeping his head above water financially and is struggling. He finds out his son needs major surgery and doesn't know how he is going to pay for it. Jake, his best friend since college comes up with a solution. He proposes that the two of them get married so that he can add Russ and his son Ryan onto his health insurance. Jake has been in love with Russ since college but Russ does not know this. Russ agrees to the marriage but is afraid that they will get in trouble for insurance fraud. Ryan has his surgery. The news of Russ and Jake's marriage is revealed with an article in the newspaper and they are left to deal with the fallout from the article. They deal with that issue and receive the news that the insurance company is investigating them for insurance fraud. The insurance company uses some unscrupulous practices trying to prove they committed insurance fraud. During this time frame, Russ has fallen in love with Jake and he jumps to Jake's defense. The two work on building their life together. They also receive the news that the insurance has decided to cover Ryan's surgery and any medical claims that they may have in the future.
Recommendation: Read this one. It is a very heartwarming read with real emotion.
