    Famous Dutch architect Sven van der Meer, has just completed the greatest achievement of his professional life - the design and construction of The Spire, Chicago's tallest, most controversial skyscraper. But a shameful secret threatens to destroy his prestigious career - he's losing his eyesight. Now, he's run out of time and the only woman qualified to help maintain his charade of invincibility is also the one woman who despises him and The Spire. And he's fairly certain she's hiding something as well. Will the fiery, but enchanting, Miss Sanchez be the right woman to play the role of his pretend girlfriend? Or will the temptation of getting too close, too fast jeopardize their business arrangement and the future of his entire career? When 28-year-old woefully unemployed Inez Sanchez arrives to her interview with hotter-than-hell billionaire architect Sven van der Meer - mastermind behind The Spire - she quickly realizes his job proposition isn't what she was anticipating. He's hiding a life-changing secret, one that could ruin his career as the most influential architect in the world, and he's willing to pay her 5000 dollars a day - just to help him keep it. Will she accept his offer to become his "pretend girlfriend" for the next four days in order to ensure the success of the most important week of his life? Or will her sassy flair for independence and smartass sarcasm keep her from submitting to his stern authoritative commands, no matter how sexy his European accent might be? And what will happen when he discovers she's hiding a secret, too - one that could threaten the stability of their arrangement and prevent her from getting too close to the one man in the world who might be capable of gaining her trust... ungekürzt.

    Set against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement, Red Mountain: Birmingham, Alabama, 1965 is the coming of age story of Eddie and Chrissy, young white Southerners trying to be true to what they believe in. In this new novel, author Charles Entrekin masterfully evokes the great struggles of the early 1960s - from the civil rights movement, to the anti-war campaigns, to the sexual openness of “free love”. These tumultuous times are experienced by ambitious, eager Eddie Anderson, oldest son of a working class Alabama family desperately trying to escape his blue collar constraints and Chrissy Lee Williams, a girl who knows where she’s going. She is going to college; she is going to make a difference. Red Mountain is a story of young love, idealism, ignorance and tragedy set against changing times in the American South. It is a story of a young couple who struggle to nurture love and sanity amid the backwardness of early 1960s Birmingham and then through the intoxication of bohemian New York City and the sexual revolution. Filled with racial and sexual tension Red Mountain tells the story of what it means to attempt to stand alone against the beliefs of a culture. To find some semblance of clarity and wisdom where there is none and to be honest in the face of lies. "Red Mountain is a huge accomplishment. It perfectly captures a lost time, the early 1960s in Birmingham and on New York's Lower East Side. A gifted couple's struggle to nurture love and sanity, their personal story framed by racial violence and family bigotry, is portrayed with the authenticity of memoir, yet shaped through suspenseful, inventive fiction. I loved this novel." (Luke Wallin) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ian Hadley. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/165830/bk_acx0_165830_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Everything you think you know about the Boogeyman is wrong! This is what a 13-year-old boy nicknamed “Puck” learns when he follows the Boogeyman through his closet into the realm of fairy. Puck discovers the Boogeyman is not an evil "boogey" at all, but rather a "boogey hunter" whose duty it is to track and bring home monstrous fairies who have strayed into the mortal world. As yet unaware of the Boogeyman's true nature, Puck mistakenly frees a shape-shifting changeling from the Boogeyman's lair. Their quest to re-capture the rogue fairy leads Puck and the Boogeyman on a world-hopping chase that ultimately sees both fairy and the mortal world embroiled in an all-out war—one that only Puck, the Boogeyman, and their allies can hope to stop.  Fans of both RL Stine’s Goosebumps and JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series will find scares, magic, and adventure aplenty within pages of The Boogeyman - a monstrous fairy tale written by Shane Berryhill, author of Chance Fortune and the Outlaws. ungekürzt.

    Sunday Times and New York Times best-selling author Cathy Glass returns with her first novel. The Girl in the Mirror is a moving and gripping story of a young woman who tries to piece together her past and uncovers a dreadful family secret that has been buried and forgotten. When Mandy learns her much-loved Grandpa is dying, she is devastated and returns to the house where she spent so many wonderful summers as a child. But the childhood visits ended abruptly, and those happy days are now long gone. Having lost touch with the rest of her family, Mandy returns as a virtual stranger to her aunt's house to nurse her grandfather. Mandy hardly recognises the house that she had loved so much as a child, and it is almost as though her mind has blanked it out. But as certain memories come back to her, Mandy begins to piece together the events that brought a sudden end to her visits that fateful summer. What she discovers is so painful and shocking that she understands why it was buried and never spoken of by the family for all those years. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Denica Fairman.

    I have spent a goodly part of my life in study and research. During the last 30 years, I have read every single piece of literature on the subject of spiritualism that I could. I have accumulated one of the largest libraries in the world on psychic phenomena, spiritualism, magic, witchcraft, demonology, evil spirits, etc - some of the material going back as far as 1489. And I doubt if any one in the world has so complete a library on modern spiritualism, but nothing I ever read concerning the so-called spiritualistic phenomena has impressed me as being genuine.It is true that some of the things I read seemed mystifying, but I question if they would be were they to be reproduced under different circumstances, under test conditions, and before expert mystifiers and open-minded committees. Mine has not been an investigation of a few days or weeks or months, but one that has extended over 30 years and in that time, I have not found one incident that savored of the genuine.If there had been any real unalloyed demonstration to work on - one that did not reek of fraud, one that could not be reproduced by earthly powers - then there would be something for a foundation, but up to the present time, everything that I have investigated has been the result of deluded brains or those which were too actively and intensely willing to believe.

And now, Gideon is trapped with him without any recourse to the drugs and alcohol that have previously eased his way through awkward situations.However, as Gideon gets to know the other man, he finds himself wildly attracted to his lazy smiles and warm, scruffy charm that seem to fill a hole inside Gideon that’s been empty for a long time.

    Welcome to the war zone. When they say that war changes a man, they're being euphemistic. War makes a man insane by civilian standards. When the man comes back, he may return to civilian norms again. After a while. I'm not proud of many of the things that happened in Nam. I'm not proud of some of the things I did myself. But the men I served with were, for the most part, doing the best job they could with the cards they'd been dealt. I'm proud of them, and I'm proud to have been among them. Anybody's got a right to criticize the things that happened. But don't criticize the men who did them unless you've been in their shoes. Ever since I came back, the object of my military fiction has been to put somebody as normal as you, or as I was, into a war zone. And I hope to God neither you nor your son ever has an opportunity to compare my fiction with the real thing. A shorter edition of this book was published under the title The Military Dimension. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Bel Davies.
