ABOUT THE BOOK
In Secrets and Lies, Samaria Jacobs tried to seduce Dr. Jonah Morgan. Now she’s back in An Inconvenient Friend. Her creed is “If at first you don’t succeed, try…try…again.”
Samaria Jacobs has her sights set on Gregory Preston. A successful surgeon, he has just the bankroll she needs to keep her in the lifestyle that her credit card debt has helped her grow accustomed to. Samaria joins New Mercies Christian Church to get close to Gregory’s wife. If she gets to know Angelina Preston, she can become like her in more than just looks, and really work her way into Greg’s heart.
Angelina Preston’s life is filled with a successful career and busy ministry work, but something’s just not right with her marriage. Late nights, early meetings, lipstick- and perfume-stained shirts have her suspicious that Greg is doing a little more operating than she’d like. But does she have the strength to confront the only man she’s ever loved and risk losing him to the other woman
Just when Samaria thinks she’s got it all figured out, she finds herself drawn to Angelina’s kindness. Will she be able to carry out her plan after she finds herself yearning for the one thing she’s never had . . . the friendship of a woman?

ABOUT THE BOOK
Destined by Patricia Haley is the second novel in the Chosen series, inspired by the popular biblical kings David and Solomon.
Don, the eldest son and rightful heir to the ministry, returns from South Africa after three years of self-imposed exile. With a renewed zeal to reclaim the leadership of his late father’s multi-million dollar ministry, his plans are short-lived when a stock transfer agreement goes wrong, rendering Don powerless. Don’s little brother Joel continues as CEO, careening down the path of personal, professional, and spiritual demise, as he drags the ministry down with him. The only hope to save their father’s legacy is Don’s intervention, and so clinging to his self-worth and faith, Don is torn between fighting for a company he wasn’t chosen to run and fleeing back to his South African refuge, a place where his peace, his growing relationship with Naledi, and his dignity aren’t in question. After much soul searching, Don comes to realize that his destiny is inescapable and that his future lies in his family’s legacy.
Combining spiritual themes with family tension, corporate intrigue, and romance, this series is an exciting addition to the faith-based fiction market.

BOOK REVIEW
Destined by Patricia Haley
Paperback, $14.00, ISBN- 978-1-4165-8603-8
Destined picks up where Chosen left off and follows the life and struggle of Don Mitchell. Don the rightful heir of a multi-million dollar ministry who was overlooked by his father who left the business to his younger brother, Joel. Needless to say, Joel is running the ministry into the ground. Like many of use who experience terrible rejection, Don flees the hurt and exiles himself to his home in South Africa. Don is faced with a decision to either stay away, or to intervene and save the ministry. Will he allow his hurt feelings to get in the way, or will he realize that his destiny is inescapable and this future lies in his family’s legacy?
One of the most poignant lines in the book was “God’s word didn’t change because of circumstances. Circumstances changed because of God’s word.” Destined is a book that displays the power of God at His best. I was encouraged to turn over my own current situations to God and let Him show up and show out!
