The Scroll

Torn between love and guilt, Jake Tanner doesn’t know that his fate is already decided. Brie was the heart and soul of Jake’s life, when she died a part of him died with her. To Jake the thought of another woman claiming his heart was inconceivable. Yet if he’d taken an interest in the scroll his grandfather brought back from Cairo after the war, he would have known what the gods and goddess of that ancient land knew: What is written must come to pass. Jake was a little boy when his father showed him the scroll, but he wouldn’t let Jake touch it. He said it was very old and very fragile and it had to be kept in a safety deposit box in the bank. When Jake’s father died Jake inherited the scroll, and the pile of trouble that went with it. Faced with dishonest antiquity dealers, a cousin more dishonest than the antiquity dealers, a mother with a spending habit, and a farm drowning in debt, Jake kept his head down and kept to himself until the day two very different women entered his life. One offered him a king’s ransom for the scroll, and one gave him her love.
