Hellhole, Kansas, was no ordinary town. Like other places, it was comprised of desultory businesses, saloons, livery stable, bank, and clapboard homes, clinging to life by their figurative fingernails. What set this hider town apart from other post-Civil War outcroppings of civilization was that it also housed a United States Marshal's office.

That fact hardly qualified him for a Federal position,...

Anastasia capisce di volere quest'uomo a tutti i costi.

Christian Grey controla tudo e todos a seu redor: seu mundo é organizado, disciplinado e terrivelmente vazio–até o dia em que Anastasia Steele surge em seu escritório, uma armadilha de pernas torneadas e longos cabelos castanhos.

Nothing was expected to go wrong. When the unexpected happened – when the ship lost the ability...
