Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story

Acht Jahre war ich verheiratet, als ich das milliardenschwere Erbe meines Großvaters antrat. Es war für mich und meinen Mann bestimmt, der aus einer Mafia-Familie stammte. Doch als der Anwalt die Übergabe vorbereitete, stellte sich heraus, dass unsere Heiratsurkunde gefälscht war – und das gesamte Vermögen nun allein mir zufiel. „Frau Rhein, laut unseren Systemen wurden Sie bereits vor einem Jahr geschieden. Die rechtmäßige Ehefrau von Herrn Bergmann ist ... Anna Sommer.“ „Sie gelten derzeit als ledig.“ „Das bedeutet, Herr Bergmann hat kein Recht auf das Erbe.“ Anna Sommer – Lukas Bergmanns erste Liebe aus den Jahren im Ausland. Als ich die Nachricht des Anwalts las, konnte ich sie lange nicht verwinden. All die Zuneigung, all die Fürsorge, die Lukas mir in den vergangenen Jahren entgegengebracht hatte – sie waren nichts als eine Lüge. Eigentlich hatte ich geplant, ihm an unserem Hochzeitstag zu sagen, dass ich schwanger war – etwas, worauf wir beide acht Jahre lang gewartet hatten. Aber jetzt sah ich, dass er sich darauf wohl kaum gefreut hätte. Ich legte die Hand auf meinen Bauch und dachte still: Selbst wenn meine Zwillinge keinen Vater haben, wird alles gut sein. Aus diesem von Lügen durchtränkten Ort wollte ich nur noch eines – fliehen.

In the opulent halls of the Stanley manor, Judy Kent, the daughter of the family chauffeur, grew up alongside Chris Stanley. Their childhood bond blossomed quietly, a tender friendship that seemed unshakable. But Chris' traumatic kidnapping left him with deep psychological scars, manifesting in a peculiar fixation directed solely at Judy. Tragedy struck when Chris' father died in a car accident. With Judy’s father on leave that day and a substitute driver behind the wheel, Chris' grief turned into misplaced hatred toward Judy’s family. Their once-close bond shattered. Consumed by bitterness, Chris withdrew from her and inflicted emotional torment, even coercing her into signing a contract that bound her to him. Yet beneath the layers of anger, Chris' love for Judy never truly faded—it was merely buried under his rage. When the truth of the accident finally surfaced, the weight of Chris' actions drove Judy to walk away, unable to reconcile with the pain of her past. Only then did Chris realize the depth of his mistakes. Overwhelmed by guilt, he vowed to make amends, embarking on a desperate pursuit to win back her love and trust. But can Judy’s fractured heart mend? Will their shared history and enduring connection be enough to overcome the barriers between them?

“I desire you in the most maddening way,” Kael growled, his lips just a breath from mine. “Then show me,” I whispered, heart racing, already undone. *** In a world ruled by instincts, some bonds go deeper than blood. Eira Vale is a quiet healer with secrets buried deeper than the forest she’s summoned to. When duty forces her into the territory of the Blackridge Pack, she doesn’t expect to survive long—especially not under the cold, watchful gaze of Alpha Kael Thorne. Feared. Respected. Untouchable. Kael is everything Eira was taught to avoid—dominant, dangerous, and far too tempting. But something ancient stirs between them, something primal neither of them understands… or dares to name. As the wild begins to close in, Eira must decide what’s more terrifying: the bond tying her to a man with the power to break her—or the truth that’s been hunting her all along. Dark, seductive, and emotionally charged, "Beneath the Howl" is a slow-burn romance where fate is a curse, desire is dangerous, and nothing is as it seems. ***
