    Billionaire playboy Peter Wells pays for sex. His girlfriend-for-hire arrangements are tidy, simple, and not apt to land him with a palimony suit. When an anonymous gossip columnist reveals his predilections for escorts and control, Peter vows revenge. Georgia Whitcomb is a lot of things - incognito journalist, aristocrat, and best friend to a sleep-deprived and slightly neurotic editor - but she isn't really girlfriend material. She's old money pretending to be no money and has her independence to maintain. When the paper won't name its source, Peter buys the business and dubs Georgia his personal assistant. Georgia is mortified to learn exactly what type of person Peter is - generous, compassionate, demanding. Peter is unprepared for the deep passion and commitment Georgia inspires from him. As Peter's past comes to light, the walls around Georgia's heart erode, and her lies begin to unravel. In the end there seems to be no way to reveal her true self without destroying their fragile romance. With Peter's investigation peeling back the layers of her deception, only one thing is certain: The fallout from falling in love will be front-page news. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Over the hot tropical waters of West Africa, a fitful breeze flung salt spray in the faces of fishermen. Storms are common in the Atlantic between June and November. Most weather disturbances falter and die, no sooner born than ended. Wind blowing from the east six miles high may collide with wind blowing from the opposite direction, creating a shear that will decapitate a storm and rip it apart before an eye can solidify. Warm waters fuel a hurricane, but cold ocean currents can destroy the system before it gains strength. For the moment, this particular disturbance has no name. Meteorologists say she is a tropical depression that should be watched, but five days east of Florida, with gale force winds, she is worthy of no more than a warning to seafaring ships. When winds reach hurricane force, they will dignify her with a name: Katrina.   Nine-year-old Thelonious Monk DeCay lives in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward with his grandmother. His mother dead and his father missing, Monk is determined to find his father.

Hurricane Katrina changes everything. Left homeless and alone after the storm, Monk befriends a deranged man and survives by sneaking across the rooftops and courtyards of the French Quarter, stealing food and supplies while hiding from both a murderer and the police. In the midst of the storm and its aftermath, a woman Monk has never met appears in New Orleans with answers to his questions about his long-lost father. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    How much narcotic can a person stuff into a funeral urn? If the narcotic in question is the highly concentrated synthetic opiate known as fentanyl, the answer is about four million dollars worth. Rick Vaghn was not a happy man. Depressed and broke and still coming to grips with a war that ended for him a long time ago, he finds himself struggling to make ends meet as an independent mechanic in the big bad town known as LA. When a call from a local mortician interrupts his dull routine, he finds himself with an inheritance he never expected. Robert Hardy - Rick's old sergeant and mentor - is dead, and Rick is the only person in his will. Bob leaves Rick with only two things: his 1965 Harley Davidson pan-head motorcycle and himself in the form of a box full of newly cremated ashes. Puzzled at this turn of events, Rick does not know what to do with either the motorcycle or the cremains...until an old movie poster gives him an idea. To give Bob a sendoff worthy of an old Harley fan, Rick decides to drive Bob east - from LA to New Orleans - following the path that Fonda and Hopper took in the film Easy Rider. He and Bob would stop at every location in the movie and end the trip by spreading Bob's ashes in the notorious bar and whorehouse - the Big Easy's very own - Madame Tinkertoy's House of Blue Lights. A chance wreck on a back road in west Texas causes the urn full of Bob to be switched with an urn full of illegal narcotics, and Rick's voyage of nostalgia goes wrong when he discovers that he has to somehow get Bob back without losing his own life. ungekürzt.
