The Picture of Dorian Gray , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 515min
Exclusively from Audible The Picture of Dorian Gray was first published in 1890 in the July edition of the Lippincott Magazine. Now, this special anniversary edition marks 50 years since the 1967 Sexual Offences Act was passed in England. 25p from every copy downloaded over the next 12 months will be donated to Stonewall, Britain’s leading LGBT charity, to help the organisation further its work in securing full equality for lesbian, gay, bi and trans people everywhere. A damning portrayal of Victorian society, Wilde used his narrative to chastise his contemporaries for their superfluous and hypocritical values. Having also interspersed homoerotic scenes within the story, The Picture of Dorian Gray was unsurprisingly condemned for its 'indecency', forcing Wilde to publish a second, censored edition in 1891. Wilde defended his vision to the last, whilst simultaneously challenging assumptions about his private life and sexuality. He credited his inspiration for the text to the classic Faustian suggestion that given the chance, a man would undoubtedly sell his soul in exchange for eternal youth. When the protagonist, Dorian Gray, meets with the audacious Lord Henry Wotton, he is encouraged to indulge in his most vain and hedonistic of ambitions, thereby testing the boundaries of the law and living a life of unpunished anarchy. As handsome as he is charming, Dorian beguiles those around him, in particular, the artist Basil Hallward. Hopelessly enamoured by the young socialite, Basil sets out to capture his likeness in a full-length portrait. It is the finished product which ultimately engenders Dorian the ultimate weapon; control over the passing of time. Modern audiences now recognise The Picture of Dorian Gray as an enticing gothic masterpiece and highly astute cautionary tale.

Fetching Charlotte Rose , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 208min
As soon as she steps off the train into the hot western sun, Charlotte Rose wonders if she has made a mistake. Leaving Boston to take a job as the schoolmarm of the small town of Weston, Arizona had seemed like a good idea, but the man sent to fetch her from the station almost changes her mind. The handsome but uncivilized brute who introduces himself as Max Harrison not only calls Charlotte by her first name, he even demands that she change her outfit. Her humiliation is complete when, after ignoring his advice to put on something more suitable for the summer weather, she faints from the heat. To her utter shame, Charlotte is forced to endure being undressed down to her underthings to cool down, and worse still, Max warns her in no uncertain terms that any further foolishness will earn her a sound spanking on her bare bottom. Yet somehow, despite his threat to chastise her in such a barbaric fashion, Charlotte cannot deny that being in Max's presence sets her heart fluttering like nothing ever has before. Though she may be the feistiest woman he has ever laid eyes on, Max finds himself longing to see more of Charlotte - much more, in fact - and when he discovers that she feels the same way, he sets about courting her. But Weston is a very different place from Boston, and Max makes it clear to Charlotte that he will do whatever needs doing to keep his girl safe, even if that means taking her over his knee for a good, hard spanking as often as her behavior warrants it. Charlotte's love for Max grows deeper with each passing day, but she cannot help wondering if he sees her as nothing more than a silly girl in need of his constant protection, and matters come to a head when a violent, hateful man with a grudge against Max seeks to disrupt their lives. Will Charlotte's pride be her undoing, or will she finally get the chance to prove herself to Max? Publisher's note: Fetching Charlotte Rose is an erotic romance novel that contains ungekürzt.

Kudzu , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 286min
After a painful divorce, Casey returns to the haven of her childhood, great grandmother Weesie's tiny log cabin. Nestled in the Appalachian Mountains of North Georgia, the cabin rekindles memories of her happiest years as a young child enjoying Granny Weesie's tales of treasure.

Bad Boy Erotica: A Bad Boy Erotica Short Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 79min, (USK 18)
All Ava wanted to do was make it through the day. This is not what she wanted to be doing, and she had a sinking feeling it was going to eradicate what was left of her career. But she didn’t have a choice. Bills had to be paid, food had to be bought, and life had to go on.She hadn't gotten a single client since the blunder six months ago. Six months! A client goes and does something stupid, and she's the one to take the fall for it! Sure, it was her job to make the guy seem lily-white, the next boy wonder. But how was she supposed to know the guy was going to be brought up on fraud charges the same day she'd arranged for him to speak at a business ethics conference? She was a public relations specialist, not a clairvoyant.But what was done was done. All she could do was move forward. She had a job now - a client. When Michael Soren approached her last month about taking on the challenge of turning his nephew - notorious bad boy Chase Soren - into a media angel, she'd thought at first the man was joking. Even when she had realized he wasn't, she'd thought the idea was crazy. But four weeks and no new jobs later, the idea began to hold a certain amount of appeal - at least to her near-empty kitchen cupboards and the electricity company who was threatening to shut off her power.And so, armed with a hefty retainer and the promise of more for a job well done, she sent up a small prayer for an impossible miracle and hurried toward the front door."Wish me luck," she called to Frank, the Himalayan fur ball on her kitchen counter. At least Frank used to wait until she'd left to get into places he wasn't allowed to be. Now, he seemed more than content to flaunt his defiance, evident by the way he'd stretched languidly and was in the process of curling himself up into a ball on top of her neatly stacked dish towels. Oh well, she didn't have time to chastise the cat - which equated to picking him up and putting him down on the sofa - as well as ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Theresa Stephens.
