Runaway Heart A Novel by Stephen J. Cannell, (2003)
The Way the Crow Flies A Novel by Ann-Marie MacDonald, (2003)
Divided Loyalties by L.K. Malone (2001)These all seem to be a stretch, but they came up in an intial search. Is there anything else you can remember about the plot?
I think the title has the words "House on the Lake," or something. Cover was blue and had a house in front of a lake.
The House on the Lake by Julie Ellis? (2000)Andrea has been reunited with her long-lost father by chance, and joins him at his chateau by the Alps. But someone is stalking Andrea, someone who thinks nothing of killing the chateau's inhabitants one by one. Someone who has a reason to want Andrea out of her father's life - permanently.
On Mystic Lake by Kristin Hannah first published in 2000.Annie Colwater's only child has just left home for school abroad.

Lonely and afraid, she retreats to Mystic, the small Washington town where she grew up, hoping that there she can reclaim the woman she once was--the woman she is now desperate to become again.
And for our last act:
The Cliff House Strangler A Sarah Woolson Mystery by Shirley Tallman.
Definitely NOT On Mystic Lake. No karate, no killer kids. ;)
Wow, April Ann, you are definitely an avid reader! Thanks for all the suggestions, but these don't seem to ring any bells. :(
Yes, I read lol! But no...these came up by using a search engine. :)
rivka he said he may be confusing two different books so I posted anything that remotely resembeled the description.
Not you, Robert, in his original post, he says he hopes he's not confusing two books. so with this search anything goes.
Ah!!! Ok, I misread your comment #8. Gotcha.
I found it!!!!!!!!!It's called Lost Lake!
It basically has 2 stories to it, that's why I was confused. Wasn't much of a reader then, just picked it up cuz it looked interesting. It's a great book, will read it again!!!
Thanks for all the help!!!!

Anyhow. It's about this boy who falls in love with this girl who lives in a large house, on a cliff overlooking the beach. Her father is in some kind of military, and he recruits the boy to do the dirty work for him. He takes the boy to some illegal karate tournament and the boy kicks ass. Then I think he grows up and lives behind a house with a lady and her kid. And something happens at the kid's baseball game when the man loses it. (Again, I hope I'm not mixing up 2 different stories.)
I don't think this book was written by a famous author.
