Sinossi

Shining Ferry is about John Rosewarne carrying on his father's legacy and working himself to a lonely and barren death. However, he finds a glimmer of hope in the small everyday moments of his life. Excerpt: "The doctor felt his pulse, took the stethoscope and listened, tapped and sounded him, back and chest, then listened again. "Worse?" asked Rosewarne. "It is worse," answered the doctor gravely. "I knew it. One or two in my family have died in the same way. The pains are sharper of late and more frequent." "You keep that little vial handy?" Rosewarne showed where it lay, close at hand in his watch pocket. "How long?" he asked. "A few months, perhaps." The doctor seemed to hesitate."

    In the glittering world of wealth and power, billionaire Ethan Callahan is a man everyone fears—but few truly know. Haunted by a tragic accident that claimed the life of his best friend and business partner, Ethan lives behind iron walls of guilt and grief. His empire thrives, but his heart remains broken. 
    Enter Sophie Bennett, a determined young woman with secrets of her own. Hired as Ethan’s new assistant, she carries a hidden mission: to uncover the truth about the “accident” that took Liam Harper’s life. What begins as a search for justice soon tangles Sophie in a web of betrayal, deceit, and dangerous loyalties that threaten not only Ethan’s fortune—but his life. 
    As shocking revelations come to light, Sophie and Ethan find themselves trapped between powerful enemies and devastating truths. With the Callahan Corporation under siege, friends turning into foes, and enemies lurking closer than either dared imagine, survival will take more than strength—it will take trust. 
    But trust is the one thing Ethan has forgotten how to give. 
    Torn between her vow to uncover the truth and her growing bond with the man she’s meant to protect, Sophie faces the greatest challenge of all: saving a heart that doesn’t believe it deserves saving. 
    Suspenseful, emotional, and deeply moving, Saving the Billionaire’s Heart is a story of betrayal, redemption, and the kind of love strong enough to heal even the deepest wounds.

    "The Fir-Tree" is a literary fairy tale by the Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875). The tale is about a fir tree so anxious to grow up, so anxious for greater things, that he cannot appreciate living in the moment. The tale was first published 21 December 1844 with "The Snow Queen", in New Fairy Tales. First Volume. Second Collection, in Copenhagen, Denmark, by C.A. Reitzel. One scholar (Andersen biographer Jackie Wullschlager) indicates that "The Fir-Tree" was the first of Andersen's fairy tales to express a deep pessimism.

    Presented here is one of only four full crime novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring his most famous creation: the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. In this tale - perhaps the most popular Holmes story of them all - the venerable detective and his faithful companion Dr. John Watson are told of a curse which haunts the wealthy Dartmoor family of Sir Charles Baskerville. This centuries-old curse manifests itself as a gigantic and ferocious hound that is said to prowl the moors adjacent to the Baskerville estate. When Sir Charles drops dead of fright just outside the moor and the footprints of an enormous hound are discovered nearby, the cry goes out for Holmes to come to Dartmoor and solve the mystery.  What follows is one of Doyle's greatest Holmes adventures, featuring a love-smitten heir to the Baskerville fortune, a suspicious butler, a malevolent, bearded stranger, a damsel in distress...and a series of clues that point to the unmistakable fact that a giant hound may indeed be haunting the moor.   One of the greatest of Sherlock Holmes many spine-chilling adventures, "The Hound of the Baskervilles" is presented her in its original and unabridged format.
