Fight or Flight , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 318min
Bryant had always been a fighter. He had fought to keep his family together, and after his father's death, he had fought to get custody of his little sister. He fought to keep them fed, and he fought to keep a roof over their heads. And he did so by picking up his father's old profession: illegal werewolf fights. It was a dangerous profession, but he made good money. It didn't leave much room for a social life or romance, but he liked it that way. Those were just distractions from what needed to be done. He was convinced he didn't want a relationship. That is, until Jake walked into his life: an inexperienced rookie with firm determination, an eagerness to learn, and a secret of his own: he's actually an Omega. Against his better judgment, Bryant agrees to train him but soon finds himself fighting once again. Only this time, he's fighting himself and his overwhelming attraction for Jake. He soon learns that some fights aren't meant to be won. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tommy O'Brien. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/067771/bk_acx0_067771_sample.mp3.

Homicide detective Brice Marshall's current case has him stymied and frustrated. A serial killer is slaughtering young women. After a long, fruitless day poring over the most gruesome evidence he's ever seen, he needs a break. Stepping into his cousin's BDSM club is a reminder that there is another part of himself. A part that has been left empty in a life ruled by work. The fact is, he's a Dom in search of a sub. When he bumps into Terryn, a slender redhead who's new to the scene, her wide-eyed eagerness even in the face of her nerves attracts him like gravity. Terryn is the sub of his dreams, with the power to ease his soul. Without warning, the murder case reaches ugly tentacles into the most private part of his world - the woman he wants to claim as his own. The woman whose stubborn search for the delicate balance between sub life and independence could put her directly in the path of the killer. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christian Fox.

Angel Lust , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 49min
In LA Times First Fiction Award winner Maggie Shipstead's "Angel Lust", Simon Orff, a thrice-married movie producer, departs for his deceased father’s house, daughters selfishly in tow. “If he had to referee their squabbles and navigate their quicksilver emotions while sifting through his father’s possessions, he hoped the house would not seem so empty, or he hoped at least the emptiness would be neutral.” "If only," writes Halimah Marcus, co-editor of Electric Literature, in her introduction. "Instead, the emptiness proves quite virile. His father’s possessions are souvenirs of his romance with Simon’s mother (who died suddenly of a brain aneurism at 48), further evidence of desire having its own half-life, independent of bodies and their relationships." But for Simon, a man who "had always perceived a chaos in women about to break loose", "lust for his first wife has out-lived their marriage, while lust for his current wife is lifeless - bored, as he characterizes it, with her eagerness, her nubility", writes Marcus. ungekürzt.

Xingu , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 60min
In this gem of a short story, Edith Wharton's talent for satire shines. Mrs. Ballinger and the ladies of the Lunch Club, that exclusive group dedicated to literature and erudition, are eagerly anticipating a visit by the noted novelist Osric Dane. Her books have been read by all the members except their newest, Mrs. Roby, whose idea of a perfect novel is one that entertains and preferably ends with marriage for the hero and heroine. It's painfully clear to Mrs. Ballinger and the others that Mrs. Roby is not on their intellectual plane. The excitement of Osric Dane's arrival is soon quelled by that lady's bored, disdainful manner. She refuses to be drawn into a discussion of her books and "the sense of discouragement produced by her entrance, visibly increased the Lunch Club's eagerness to please her". Each member endeavors to impress their guest with the club's studies of art, sociology, ethics, and psychology.When queried by the great lady as to which branch of psychology, no one is quite able to recall, and they lamely suppose this is because they have been so absorbed in....A dreadful silence."In Xingu?" Mrs. Roby gently prompts. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anne Hancock. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/mike/003161/bk_mike_003161_sample.mp3.

Lord of the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 608min
Secular humanism has triumphed. Everything the late Victorians and Edwardians believed would bring human happiness has been achieved: Technology has made it so no one needs to work for a living, the social sciences ensure a smooth-running social order, and, in the name of tolerance, religious beliefs have been uprooted and eliminated except for a single holdout - a largely discredited and rapidly shrinking Catholic Church. Yet people are unhappy. What has been created is a sterile world of crass materialism, a world without spiritual dimension, a world where people daily choose legalized euthanasia over the emptiness of existence. Out of this culture of despair, there arises a charismatic leader: Julian Felsenburgh. Soon the masses are in Felsenburgh's thrall, and he becomes leader of the world. But in their eagerness for change, have the citizens of the world embraced the Antichrist and hastened the end of days? Father Percy Franklin remains a bastion of stability, even as the Catholic Church disintegrates around him. Finally outlawed and driven underground, it is only this small and shrinking church that stands against the "Lord of the World". ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Vance.

In 1938, 18-year-old Phyllis Ellsworth packs her bags, says good-bye to her anxious parents and sets off from her quiet seaside home for the Hackney Hospital in London's bustling East End, where she is to fulfill her dream to train as a nurse. At first it is a whirlwind of long days, hard work, new friends and plenty of mischief, but just 10 months later Britain declares war on Germany, and life at the hospital is transformed.

Content Warning: This erotic romance contains graphic scenes of intimacy between a BBW and a sex-crazed werewolf. For mature adults 18 years and older ONLY! Steamy Excerpt: A hand touched my face, and then something else pressed between my thighs. Before I had a chance to open my eyes, warm lips crushed against mine. It was the realization that they were human that sent relief rushing through me. The taser slipped from my hand, or had I dropped it. I couldn't remember. All I knew was that Remy was upon me before I had a chance to think of using the weapon against him. His hands fumbled with my blouse, unbuttoning it with more eagerness than any man had ever shown in getting into my pants. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Audrey Lusk.
