About the Book
Arthur Livingston's goal in life is to make his mark on the world as a mining industrialist, but after the man who could help him achieve his goal is murdered, Arthur feels compelled to seek justice for the family—but he's left with more questions than answers after the eccentric Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency refuses to take on his case.
Desperate to conceal her real identity and avoid the irritatingly handsome Arthur, Eunice takes on a different case that requires her to go deep undercover and entangles her in one troublesome situation after another. When other secrets come to light, Eunice has no choice but to confront her past, hopeful that it will set her free but knowing it could very well place her life—and the lives of those she loves—in jeopardy.

About the Book
Before she is Potiphar's wife, Zuleika is a king's daughter on the isle of Crete, where the sisterhood of women rules in the absence of their seafaring husbands. Now that she's come of age, Zuleika knows she will soon be betrothed. Her father believes his robust trade with Egypt will ensure Pharaoh's obligation to marry his daughter.
But Pharaoh refuses and gives her instead to Potiphar, the captain of his bodyguards--a crusty bachelor twice her age, who would rather have a new horse than a Minoan wife.
Abandoned by her father, rejected by Pharaoh, and humiliated by Potiphar's indifference, Zuleika years for affection. But when her obsession with Joseph, the Hebrew chamberlain with the face and body of the gods, goes terribly wrong, she discovers the truth: Only the God of Joseph can heal her wounded heart.

About the Book
After months of undercover work, Secret Service operative Broderick Cosgrove is finally about to uncover the identity of the leader of a notorious counterfeiting ring. That moment of triumph turns to horror, however, when he finds undeniable proof that his former fiancée is connected. Can he really believe the woman he loved is a willing participant? Protecting Theresa and proving her innocence may destroy his career--but that's better than failing her twice in one lifetime.
They must form a partnership, tentative though it is. But there's no question they're both still keeping secrets--and that lack of trust, along with the dangerous criminals out for their blood, threatens their hearts, their faith, and their very survival.

EXCERPT
From Holding Tight to Letting Go
For years I have loved watching trapeze artists. The love began when my then- eighty- nine- year- oldfather came for a visit. Let’s go to the circus, we decided one day. That evening we watched five SouthAfrican trapeze artists—three fliers and two catchers. They danced in the air! The fliers soared and allwas dangerous until they found themselves caught by the strong hands of their partners. I told myfather that I had always wanted to fly like that, that perhaps I had missed my calling!
I am constantly moved by the courage of my circus friends. At each performance they trust that theirflight will end with their hands sliding into the secure grip of a partner. They also know that only therelease of the secure bar allows them to move on with arcing grace to the next. Before they can becaught, they must let go. They must brave the emptiness of space.
Living with this kind of willingness to let go is one of the greatest challenges we face. Whether itconcerns a person, possession, or personal reputation, in so many areas we hold on at all costs. Webecome heroic defenders of our dearly gained happiness. We treat our sometimes inevitable losses asfailures in the battle of survival.
The great paradox is that it is in letting go, we receive. We find safety in unexpected places of risk. Andthose who try to avoid all risk, those who would try to guarantee that their hearts will not be broken,end up in a self- created hell. C. S. Lewis wrote in The Four Loves,
To love at all is to be vulnerable…If you want to make sure of keeping [your heart] intact, you must giveyour heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries;avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket of your selfishness. But in that casket— safe, dark,motionless, airless— it will change. It will not be broken—it will become unbreak-able, impenetrable,irredeemable…The only place outside of Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from the danger of loveis Hell.
In so many ways, the more we insist on control and the more we resist the call to hold our lives lightly,the more we have to deny the reality of our losses and the more artificial our existence becomes. Ourbelief that we should grasp tightly what we need provides one of the great sources of our suffering. Butletting go of possessions and plans and people allows us to enter, for all its risks, a life of new,unexpected freedom.
How can we live with greater willingness to let go? Another step in turning our mourning into dancinghas to do with not clutching what we have, not trying to reserve a safe place we can rest in, not trying tochoreograph our own or others’ lives, but to surrender to the God whom we love and want to follow.God invites us to experience our not being in control as an invitation to faith.

Tongues start wagging after Sam nearly kills his own brother. Now when he claims to have seen men on the mountain when no one else has seen them, Annie isn't the only one questioning his sanity and her safety. If there were criminals haunting the hills, there should be evidence beyond his claims. Is he really seeing what he says, or is his war-tortured mind conjuring ghosts?
Annie desperately wants to believe her husband. But between his irrational choices and his nightmares leaking into the daytime, she's terrified he's going mad. Can she trust God to heal Sam's mental wounds--or will sticking by him mean keeping her marriage at the cost of her own life?
