So I had no idea why my body started behaving so strangely when Daddy Jack showed up.

Als der glutäugige Grieche ihr in der Oper eine Eintrittskarte anbietet, weil Leah ihr Ticket verloren hat, will die junge Rezeptionistin zunächst ablehnen. Doch dem Charme eines Theo Savas kann sie nicht widerstehen, genauso wenig wie seinen Küssen, mit denen der Playboy sie nach der Premiere in seiner Hotelsuite verführt.

Eigentlich ein Traum, aber Theos Bedingungen brechen Leah das Herz.

When Mark is invited back to Leila's flat and ordered to strip, he thinks he's about to have the experience of his life. Waking later he finds Leila gone from his side. Keen to leave, he opens the wrong door and finds he's entered a nightmare; behind the swaying Barbie dolls that hang from the ceiling is the body of the girl he just had sex with. Rhona MacLeod's forensic investigation of the scene reveals the red plaited silk cord used to hang Leila to be a cingulum, a Wiccan artefact used in sex magick.

Sanday, one of Britain's northernmost islands, inaccessible when the wind prevents the ferry crossing from the mainland, or fog grounds the tiny, island-hopping plane.

The hands have been severed and there is a stone in the victim's mouth with the number five scratched on it. DI Michael McNab is certain it's a gangland murder, but Rhona isn't convinced.

Agent or not, when your dad is the head of the most notorious arcane crime family in the country, no one believes you when you say you didn’t open that gate to Hell on purpose. Now, I’m practically glued under enough null wards to hide a god and stuck with a stupidly sexy shifter of a jailer who hates my guts.

Tessa Hamilton findet, dass ihre Ansprüche an einen festen Freund nicht allzu hoch sind. Er sollte ein netter Kerl sein, noch alle seine Zähne besitzen und sich – wenn möglich – nicht als Kleinkrimineller herausstellen. Auf jeden Fall darf er kein so arroganter Kotzbrocken wie Logan Esposito sein, den sie unglücklicherweise in einer ziemlich peinlichen und entwürdigenden Situation kennengelernt hat und der ihr seither ständig über den Weg läuft.

Age 14, she left the forest for the first time to study with an evangelical missionary group in the city. Eventually, her ancestors began appearing in her dreams, pleading with her to return and embrace her own culture. She listened. Two decades later, Nemonte has emerged as one of the most forceful voices in climate-change activism.

Dr. Laura Anderson takes an honest look at a side of religion that few like to talk about. Drawing from her own life and therapy practice, she helps listeners understand what religious trauma is and isn't, and how high-control churches can be harmful and abusive, often resulting in trauma. She shows how elements of fundamentalist church life—such as fear of hell, purity culture, corporal punishment, and authoritarian leaders—can cause psychological, relational, physical, and spiritual damage.
