Trinkets - E-book - ePub

Crows collect shiny things and trinkets. Luckily for Alex. On the run with a stolen teddy bear and a couple hundred dollars in cash, Alex's life takes a strange turn when he wrecks his car in a freak accident. Stranded in the desert with no water, he is rescued by a crow that leads him to the home of Lars and Lars's five-year-old niece, Holly. Lars is a man with secrets, and he'd just as soon Alex was on his way, but delays in the repair of Alex's car compel him to offer Alex a place to stay in exchange for babysitting services.
Alex accepts the offer and soon falls head over heels for Holly and the mysterious Crow. Over the course of several weeks, Alex finds himself embracing a life he'd only dreamed of. A life of warmth and comfort-and a passion that almost makes him forget the past he's running from. Almost. As Lars and Alex fall in love, secrets about Lars and Holly and a dark danger pursuing Alex threaten to destroy their newfound happiness.
Alex was once rescued by the quirky crow he now lives with. Will Crow be able to save the treasure trove of a family he's collected in Alex and Lars and Holly one more time?
