Love & Lies

Truth and lies . . .

At long last, the Reverend Curtis Black appears to be living the straight life. The all-too-human preacher is a

bestselling author now, and he and his wife, Charlotte, are raising two adorable children. But the ever-suspicious

Charlotte doesn't trust that Curtis has put his womanizing past behind him. While he's on the road promoting

his latest book, she knows that there just needs to beone extra-devoted fan in his flock for him to stray.

Secrets and lies . . .

Still, Charlotte is no angel herself, and she's been keeping plenty of secrets from Curtis while he's been away.

For one thing, their daughter, Marissa, is behaving bizarrely, reminding Charlotte a bit too much of the man

with whom she had an affair five years ago-an affair Curtis won't let her forget.

Then there are the disturbing visits from her so-called brother-in-law, a man once involved with drugs and the

law. Curtis has forbidden the family to see him, but the guy simply keeps turning up on Charlotte's doorstep no

matter how hard she tries to keep him away.

Charlotte believes with all her heart that things will be better once Curtis comes home.

Love and lies . . .

But Charlotte should be careful what she wishes for. She thinks love is enough to untangle the web of lies she

and Curtis have woven for themselves. What she doesn't know is that when her husband finally returns, she'll

have some tough decisions to make if she wants to save her soul and salvage her marriage.
