Book Description
Preaston, California is headed for a staggering shake up unlike no earthquake can create, by virtue of teen identical triplets Terrell, Derrell, and Jerrell Jenkins. However, their road to excellence is paved with many potholes to make their journey jarring and difficult. With each brother having their share of problems, Terrells troubles seem to eclipse the others by far. Being overly good-natured brands him an easy target for public harassment, ridicule, and disregard, and if that wasnt enough, the strong tie he always had with his brothers is quickly unraveling. Terrell feels obligated to preserve unity within the family, since it was the one thing the boys father routinely instilled in them, right up until the time of his mysterious death. As Terrells optimism declines, his discovery of three mystical stones, which grants the brothers with incredible mental powers, is just the remedy to give his diminishing hope an upsurge. The stones were once owned by gifted Asian children, born over two thousand years ago, and identical triplets as well. The vitality of these extraordinary gems establishes a special meaning for both generations of triplets, and sets the course for adventure that will ultimately change the city of Preaston and mankinds lives forever.

Category : Nursing students
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
When I found an eviction notice taped on my apartment door, I had two options: find a comfortable cardboard box to call home, or move in with Tucker Jameson. Seeing that cardboard makes me feel itchy, I chose the latter. Which shouldn't be that big of a deal since Tucker is one of my good friends. And because he's still pining after his ex-girlfriend and I'm trying to finish my nursing degree, there is nothing to worry about in the romance department, making my last semester an easy one to conquer. Boy, was I wrong. Rules are set, dinners are made, conversations are had, and a shirtless, swoony roommate walks around in nothing but a pair of black briefs, ruining me for every other man. Before I know it, I turn into a panting, lust-filled woman begging for Tucker to kiss me, touch me, and show me exactly what is hiding under those briefs. But with great orgasms, comes great consequences. Tucker might be my friend and roommate but he's also my best friend's ex-boyfriend, making him completely off-limits. At least that's what my brain is telling me, my heart is speaking an entirely different language.
