Happily Never After , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 526min
She closed her eyes. Think with your head. Your heart can’t be trusted. Life is not a fairy tale....Single mum Rory doesn’t believe in love. She’s got far too many real problems to deal with. She’s just bought a tumbledown house. Her mother is generally behaving like a wicked witch, insisting on calling her Aurora and generally interfering in her (admittedly pitiful lack of) love life. And her 16-year-old daughter has finally grown out of Disney princesses and discovered dating....But Rory’s adamant that she doesn’t need saving. In fact, the only thing she’s wishing on a star for is a bit of practical help. However, when she meets a builder whose name is John Prince and who seems to be in the habit of rescuing her (right down to finding her lost shoe one evening), she might have to face a truth as uncomfortable as hobbling home barefoot - that maybe there’s something enchanted in the air. Her mother, daughter and friends are convinced her prince has come, but Rory just wishes everyone could let it go. Especially when she hears a story that makes her question whether he is really the hero everyone thinks he is....A hilarious, romantic love story about mothers, daughters and how on earth to find Prince Charming, for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Marian Keyes and Cecelia Ahern. ungekürzt.

1-800-Cupid: A Sweet Contemporary Romance Novella , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 141min
A house flipper looking for quick profit. A survivor with a dream. Can two broken hearts find a place to call home?Prepare for romance and fun with the first audiobook in a brand new home-flipping series brought to you by USA Today best-selling author Josie Riviera. When a Miami investor calls in search of prime property-flip prospects, North Carolina real estate broker Candee Contando expects to meet a balding, steely-eyed land shark. Turns out the first customer she’s had in months is a hot prospect in more ways than one. Except his gaze has fallen on her dream house, a dilapidated Victorian she just bid her last penny on in hopes of creating a safe place for disadvantaged children - like the girl she used to be. Teddy Winchester is adept at negotiating life’s curves, but Candee’s curves stop him in his tracks. She’s a warm spark in the emptiness he’s felt since his brother died, leaving him with a beloved nephew to raise. Attraction glows in Candee’s eyes as well, but there’s also wistfulness as she points out all the reasons an old, tumbledown Victorian doesn’t fit into his tried-and-true house-flipping plan. Yet the more he looks at the house - and at her - he begins to think some things are worth the risk. Now if only he can convince her that building a new life often starts with tearing down some walls.... When the heart flips, there’s no telling where the walls will fall. ungekürzt.

Murder at the Old Cottage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 306min
Are detectives right to think that the brutal murder of a pensioner is more than just a burglary gone wrong? A health worker visiting clients in a remote area on the West Coast of Ireland has a nasty surprise when she finds a reclusive old man dead in his armchair in his tumbledown cottage. When the local Garda is called, it soon becomes obvious that this is no death from natural causes. The man has been tortured and his house ransacked. Galway detectives and pathology are called in to establish the cause of death and a possible motive.

So, why did the man meet such a violent and miserable death?This is the second case for detectives Mick Hays and Maureen Lyons.

Set mostly in the beautiful surroundings of the west of Ireland’s rural landscape, but also in Cork and Limerick, readers who like atmospheric crime fiction will love this authentic and gripping murder mystery.Murder at the Old Cottage is the second audiobook by David Pearson to feature these detectives.

The House at Magpie Cove , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 458min
The Cornish beach house creaked in the salty sea wind, and, from the weathered wooden porch, Mara watched a lone magpie circle above. It was silly to think that it somehow represented her mother’s spirit, but she had the feeling that her mother was with her somehow. That she still hadn’t moved on: There was something keeping her here. A secret that needed to be told.When Mara Hughes inherits her late mother’s tumbledown beach house overlooking the bright, sandy sweep of Magpie Cove, it couldn’t have come at a worse time. With her marriage on the rocks and her husband threatening to take the family home, the beach house - with all the bittersweet memories it holds - might be the thing that finally sends Mara’s world crashing down around her. She tells herself she’ll spend only a few days there, sell it, and move on to rebuilding her life.When Mara arrives, the house is in a worse state than she feared - holes in the bedroom ceiling, birds’ nests in the attic, and the beautiful wraparound porch on the brink of collapse...but she loves it anyway. With all its history it feels like the last link to her late mother, and, determined to do whatever it takes to keep it in the family, Mara strikes a deal with local handyman - and town heartthrob - Brian Oakley to save the crumbling cottage from ruin.But when a box of unopened old letters arrives on her new doorstep - a bequest from her mother’s will - Mara’s resolve to save the beach house will be tested to the limit. Because Mara’s mother’s perfect childhood in Magpie Cove was forever spoiled by one haunting day in July, and the letters contain a secret about her family that Mara can scarcely believe to be true....A story of secrets, family, and forgiveness, this heartfelt listen set in beautiful Cornwall is perfect for fans of Susanne O'Leary, Fern Britton, and Rosanna Ley. ungekürzt.
