    Antiques picker and ex-FBI agent Jeff Talbot figured he was about to make a killing when Nathan Rose offered him all the antiques in his newly deceased aunt’s house dirt cheap. What Jeff hadn’t bargained for, however, was the bloodstain beneath one of the old pack rat’s priceless rugs, indicating that the death of Verena Rose was no accident. But unlike the police, Jeff doesn’t think that nephew Nathan is the culprit. Convinced the answer lies somewhere in the old woman’s cluttered house, Jeff starts rummaging and unearths an antique marriage casket crammed with old letters. Reading through these, he discovers the old woman had more than her share of secrets. But now Jeff must determine who hated or feared her enough to commit murder...before he winds up in a casket himself. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jerry Sciarrio.

    That boy thinks the world of you, Xiaolang murmured. "And..." he visibly hesitated, slanting a questioning look at me from the corner of his eye. "And...?" I encouraged him. Xiaolang rarely hesitates in his speech. When he wanted to say something, he said it. "He'll be very important in the future," Xiaolang murmured. "I'm not sure how to put this..." He paused, mouth rummaging for words. "Something will change very soon, Garth. Someone will be discovered who will change everything. When that happens, you need to trust Trev'nor like he trusts you. Much will be lost otherwise." I looked, really looked at Trev'nor. Trev'nor has always been special, a child prodigy in a life that had no child prodigies. My head was swimming with questions after Xiaolang's revelation. Who was the boy we were to rescue, and why was Trev'nor so important for that boy? ungekürzt. Language: English.

The summer before college begins, Taylor is thrust from her childhood home in Houston to an inherited family farm on the outskirts of Schulenburg, Texas. Eric, her first love, has gone states away to play college football.

Boundaries are tested and the scales of lust tip despite hesitations. A final decision must be made. Did she ever truly love Eric? Is Maxwell simply a lustful thought, or is there more to uncover beneath the surface? One thing is for certain, this summer will change Taylor in every possible way: mind, body, and soul. ungekürzt.
