Expecting a man to apply for the post, the imperious but handsome Earl is at first sceptical, but on realising that he knew her father, he soon warms to her, saying that he has a ‘difficult and dangerous mission for her!’ Ivana is to become a spy, working undercover against Napoleon’s secret agents. And so her perilous adventures begin. Very soon she loses her heart – and at every turn she risks losing her life.

Then there's Parker Missoni, the sexiest contestant by far, who drives her crazy with his brutal honesty, and at the same time stops her heart with his deep brown eyes.

It's about acceptance, reflection, taking accountability for mistakes, and appreciating all of life's wonderful gifts.

Download or read book The State of Grace and Other Calamities written by and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2006-08-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gaudere res seria est. Loosely translated from Latin in our Abridged Too Far Dictionary, that means: Having fun is serious business. Please note that it does not translate from old German to mean: "I've got sauerkraut in my lederhosen." Actually, it's the motto of the Mystical Township of Grace, Washington, a place unlike any other town in America. Perhaps it might even be the off-center of the known universe. What follows is a compilation of columns culled from the Greater Grace Gazette's disgustingly dusty archives that will provide insight into the comings and goings and doings of the town's sometimes zany and occasionally self-important residents and interlopers. It is hoped they will make you agree that having fun is serious business indeed. Warning: Not for the Humor Impaired.

Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
