A Stray Drop of Blood<\/a><\/h1>\n

by\u00a0Roseanna M. White<\/a><\/p>\n

Beautiful is a dangerous thing to be when one is unprotected.<\/p>\n

For seven years, Abigail has been a slave in the Visibullis house. With a Hebrew mistress and a Roman master, she has always been more family than servant . . . until their son returns to Jerusalem after his years in Rome. Within a few months, Jason has taken her to his bed and turned her world upside down. Maybe, given time, she can come to love him as he says he loves her. But how does she open her heart to the man who ruined her?<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s unrest finds a home in her bosom, but their rebellion tears apart her world. Death descends with Barabbas\u2019s sword, and Abigail is determined to be there when the criminal is punished. But when she ventures to the trial, Barabbas is not the one the crowd calls to crucify. Instead, it is the teacher her master and Jason had begun to follow, the man from Nazareth that some call the Son of God . . .<\/p>\n

Born free, made a slave, married out of her bonds, Abigail never knows freedom until she feels the fire of a stray drop of blood from a Jewish carpenter. Disowned by Israel, despised by Rome, desired by all, she never knows love until she receives the smile of a stoic Roman noble.

The Memoir of Johnny Devine<\/a><\/h1>\n

by\u00a0Camille Eide<\/a><\/p>\n

Love can\u2019t rewrite the pages of one\u2019s past, but it can cover a multitude of sins a page at a time.<\/i><\/p>\n

In 1953, desperation forces young war widow Eliza Saunderson to take a job writing the memoir of ex-Hollywood heartthrob Johnny Devine. Rumor has it Johnny can seduce anything in a skirt quicker than he can hail a cab. But now the notorious womanizer claims he\u2019s been born again. Eliza soon finds herself falling for the humble, grace-filled man John has become\u2014a man who shows no sign of returning her feelings. No sign, that is, until she discovers something John never meant for her to see.<\/p>\n

When Eliza\u2019s articles on minority oppression land her on McCarthy\u2019s Communist hit list, John and Eliza become entangled in an investigation that threatens both his book and her future. To clear her name, Eliza must solve a\u00a0family<\/a>\u00a0mystery. Plus, she needs to convince John that real love\u2014not the Hollywood illusion\u2014can forgive a sordid past. Just when the hope of love becomes reality, a troubling discovery confirms Eliza\u2019s worst fears. Like the happy fa\u00e7ade many Americans cling to, had it all been empty lies? Is there a love she can truly believe in?<\/p>\n

The Memoir of Johnny Devine is a dramatic story within a story of a bad boy and a good girl, both in need of reform. It\u2019s a powerful tale of love, redemption, intrigue, and the miracle of God\u2019s deliberate grace.
