Some girls from your past you better never see again. My own Brenda, eight months pregnant, was sitting back at home, but Lieve was sitting on the barstool right next to me, red-haired and freckled and, from the first instant my eyes met her green eyes, I knew that I would be making the worst mistake of my life. She was just enchanting. I don't use that word very often, but she was, in the true sense of that word. "Keep my crutch free," she said at one point, parroting Hazes and his mindless song. "So, she'll never come back," I thought. But this story didn't unfold like the lyrics of that old crooner. She really did go to the washroom and, just a couple of minutes later, Lieve - that's what she called herself - came back. She asked me if I would like to take her home. I could hardly believe that this was really happening. She was too young, I was too old and, on top of everything else, I was too married. And, what was more, I would be a father in a couple of weeks. Of course, I should have just thanked her for her company and offered to call her a cab. Just three kisses on the cheek, and that would be that. That's how it should have gone. But it didn't go that way. Twenty years ago, Paul Meertens cheated on the woman he had just married. Now, while he has a good job with an IT company, he is face to face with his one-night stand of the time, Lieve Breevoort. She is applying for the position of management assistant. Paul is upset, but pulls up. He decides to send a rejection letter and forget about the whole incident as soon as possible. But this time Lieve cannot be pushed aside so easily. He soon sees her as a dance teacher for his youngest daughter, as his wife's new squash partner and as a substitute at school. He is really starting to see her everywhere. Is he going crazy? No, it is worse than that. She's out for revenge and she's had a damn long time to prepare it... A hard-hitting

This Is Now It’s Kim’s senior year and, while everyone’s looking forward to graduation, she’s got so much going on she can barely make it through the day. Natalie, pregnant with Benjamin O’Conner’s baby, believes it’s God’s will for them to marry, and Ben sees it as his Christian responsibility to do so. Major red flag? He doesn’t love her. Then–surprise! Kim’s birth mother in Korea sends her an intriguing letter, making Kim question her reluctance to get to know another “mom.” And what about Maya? Is God calling Kim and her father to open their hearts and home to Kim’s biracial cousin whose mother was just sentenced to five years in state prison? Kim has been through so much already, but that was then … Does she have enough faith for now? Saturday, November 11 I’ve talked to Nat twice this week. But only on the phone. Both times she just glossed over what happened last weekend. She told me everything was “fine.” But without any details. It was the kind of reassurance that isn’t reassuring at all. I know she’s covering something up. That was then...Kim Peterson has had a lot going on the past few years: writing a teen advice column, finding a new faith, dating and breaking up for the first time, losing her mom to cancer...Kim has learned to turn it all over to God day by day, relying on Him like she never has before. Now Kim’s best friend, Nat, is pregnant and soon to be married to Ben O’Conner, Caitlin’s younger brother. Nat is starry-eyed, believing that once she and Ben are married, God will bless them and everything will work out because they’re doing the right thing. Kim’s not so sure. Is marriage the only solution for two seventeen-year-olds with a baby on the way? Why won’t they consider adoption? Kim knows about that firsthand–and is about to find out even more… Reader’s guide included Story Behind the Book “In book four, Kim’s life is still shadowed by the loss of her mother, but her faith is deepening. My best friend lost her mother to cancer in high school, and I was very involved in counseling, encouraging, and praying with my friend as she worked through her grief. That experience helped me write Kim’s story from an insider’s perspective.” – Melody Carlson

The Master House, close to the Welsh border, is medieval and slowly falling into ruins. Now the house and its surrounding land have been sold to the Duchy of Cornwall. But the Duchy's plans to renovate the house and its outbuildings are frustrated when the specialist builder refuses to work there. "This is a place," he tells the Prince's land-steward, "that doesn't want to be restored." Directed by the Bishop of Hereford to investigate, deliverance consultant Merrily Watkins discovers ancient connections between the house and the nearby church, built by the Knights Templar whose shadow still envelopes isolated Garway Hill and its scattered communities. Why did all the local inns have astrological names? What deep history lies behind the vicious feud between two local families? And what happened here to intimidate even the great Edwardian ghost-story writer M. R. James? When Merrily learns that she--and even her daughter, Jane--are under surveillance by the security services, she's ready to quit. But a sudden death changes everything, and she returns to Garway to uncover fibres of fear and hatred stitched into history and now insidiously twisted in the corridors--and the cloisters--of power.
