Writer Ellen Davies is pursuing an exciting feature story when she lands an interview with an expert on the work of legendary artist Georgia O'Keeffe, who spent many summers at upstate New York's beautiful Lake George. But her face-to-face with the art critic turns tragic; she finds him burned nearly beyond recognition, a knife protruding from his back. Adding to the mystery is a cache of recently discovered paintings that may or may not be O'Keeffe originals. Before Ellen can retrieve them from their locked closet hideaway, all of the paintings except one, the picture of a black iris, have vanished. And while it may be safe in Ellen's hands, Ellen herself is working her way deeper into danger, deception and mistaken identity, as a killer creates a masterpiece of well-timed murder.

A lady can be certain of only one thing: All Men Are Rogues! When Evelyn Amherst agrees to her father's dying request that she complete his final mission for His Majesty, she can scarcely imagine the world of infamy and danger she is about to enter -- or that it will bring her tantalizingly close to Lord Justin Barclay. Here is a man to turn a young lady's head -- strong, fearless, dashing, and devilishly good-looking. But Evelyn is determined to unravel the mystery behind her father's death and she must not be diverted, especially not by this passionate yearning for Lord Justin's embrace. Never has Justin had a more agreeable assignment! Evelyn Amherst is beautiful, fiery, utterly alluring, and he is to divine from her the details of her late father's service -- without revealing that Justin is, himself, a spy. Never mind he has no intention of marrying her; he uses all his roguish charms to win her confidence, knowing he must betray her for King and Country. But the lady's sensuous enchantment disarms him -- tempting the deceiving scoundrel to trust her with his secrets and his heart. . .which could place both their lives in mortal peril.

There are a few things Jeremy Marsh was sure he'd never do: he'd never leave New York City; never give his heart away again after barely surviving one failed marriage; and, most of all, never become a parent. Now, Jeremy is living in the tiny town of Boone Creek, North Carolina, married to Lexie Darnell, the love of his life, and anticipating the birth of their daughter. But just as his life seems to be settling into a blissful pattern, an unsettling and mysterious message re-opens old wounds and sets off a chain of events that will forever change the course of this young couple's marriage. Dramatic, heartbreaking and surprising, this is a story about the love between a man and a woman and between a parent and a child. More than that, it is a story that beautifully portrays how the same emotion that can break your heart is also the one that will ultimately heal it. While the novel picks up the tale of Lexie Darnell and Jeremy Marsh that started in True Believer and will delight fans of that novel, it stands on its own as one of Nicholas Sparks's most deeply moving love stories.

Foremost among their number was Belgarath. His ceaseless devotion was foredoomed to cost him that which he held most dear--even as his loyal service would extend through echoing centuries of loss, of struggle, and of ultimate triumph.

If only that pesky state police detective (who also happens to be a pissed-off ex-boyfriend) would stay out of her way. Also published as: Charmed and Dangerous
