    The Garden: Lavender Shores, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 503min
    Beautiful Gilbert Bryant designs jewelry for the rich and famous, and he made his escape from his gossipy little hometown of Lavender Shores. However, with so many friends and family, he keeps getting pulled back. When he attends his best friend’s engagement party, Gilbert can’t help but sample one of the new men in town. It’s just some innocent—or not so innocent—fun. Nothing that will even cross his mind once he gets back to his everyday life. Walden Thompson dreamed about living in Lavender Shores since he visited as a child. He finally gets his chance, and he embraces the opportunity to start over, to become someone new. He leaves both hurts and dangerous habits in the past, where they belong. When Gilbert crosses his path, Walden gives in to his baser instincts. He can indulge in the carnal pleasures this once and still be okay. Their few hours together haunt Gilbert, the two-hundred-mile buffer from home no longer shutting out the past or the sexy man he left behind. Walden is just beginning to recover from the smoldering encounter with Gilbert when they are thrust together once more. This time, neither of them can walk away, no matter how hard they try. But when their pasts crash into each other as surely as the magnetism that pulls them together, walking away may be the only option. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kirt Graves.

    OblivioN: Ad Infinitum Tenebrae , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 567min
    The long-awaited sequel to OblivioN: Ad Magnificum Volumina is here! Humanity has lost its way and is nearly extinct. But for a lone survivor from the Europan disaster 500 years before, the Titans are the only people left alive in the Solar System. A rugged group of scrappy survivors of the Ripping, the Titans have fallen prey to humanity’s baser instincts for survival, power and desperate need. The Three Regions, Shangri-La, Kraken Mare and Xanadu have succumbed to war at the hands of a megalomaniacal dictator bent on enslaving them all, Cassius Boll. His bent on world domination throws what’s left of civilization into darkness where faith and hope for a bright future grows darker every moment. But two survivors of the onslaught, Grace Blieh Amadán Dubh and Manannán mac Lir, leaders in exile of the defeated, unalike in every way, run for their lives across the tholin-dunes and methane rivers and lakes of Shangri-La to find refuge in a place only known in a children’s story that history has long forgotten. Along the way, they find strength in each other, faith in the future, and appreciation for the strength of human character, while learning how the sacrifices of the past will meet in the present to light a candle of hope for the future.“…strong and compelling, and the vast landscapes…are beautifully drawn and add(s) a superior sequel that could easily be read and enjoyed as a standalone too.” (K.C.

    Eternally Artemisia: Some Loves, like Some Women, Are Timeless. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 619min
    They say some lovers travel through time and are fated to meet over and over again. For Maddie, an art therapist who wrestles with the “peculiar feeling” she has lived previous lives and is being called to Italy by voices that have left imprints on her soul, this idea is intriguing. Despite her best efforts, however, proof of this has always eluded her. That is, until one illuminating summer in Italy when Maddie’s previous existences start to bleed through into her current reality.When she is introduced to the Crociani family - a noble clan with ties to the 17th-century Medici court that boasts of ancestors with colorful pasts - she finally meets the loves of her life. One is a romantic love, and another is a special kind of passion that only women share, strong amongst those who have suffered greatly, yet have triumphed despite it.As Maddie's relationship develops with Artemisia Gentileschi - an artist, who in a time when it was unheard of to denounce a man for the crime of rape, did just that - Maddie discovers a kindred spirit and a role model, and just what women are capable of when united together.In a journey that arcs back to biblical days and moves forward in time, Maddie encounters artists, dukes, designers, and movie stars, as well as baser and ignoble men. With Artemisia never far from her side, she proves that when we dare to take control of our lives and find the “thing” we are most passionate about, we are limitless and can touch the stars. ungekürzt.

    Paranormal: Her Flaming Touch , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 15min, (USK 18)
    “I don’t know what it is, but there’s something about you that makes it almost impossible for me to turn around and walk away. Before I change my mind, I think that we should do something about this obvious attraction that we have for one another.” She was shorter than me by a few inches and I felt like I could overcome her and have my way with her. I wasn’t going to do that and the fact that she had initiated first contact was almost too good to pass up.“Be sure that is what you want to do. Once you open that door, there’s no closing it.” She moved her hands up to my head, caressing my skull and giving me every reason to succumb to my baser nature. “I don’t know if you really understand what you’re getting yourself into. Perhaps, you should think twice, before approaching a complete stranger and offering your body on a silver platter. The world is full of degenerates and those that would take advantage of you in that situation.” I could think of many things that I could do to her. She was practically begging for it. This was supposed to be a midmorning snack, but it was turning out to be a whole lot more than that. I was going to do something that I hadn’t done in years. It was something that had been denied me and rightfully so. WARNING - This book contains steamy romance scenes and is suitable for 18+ only. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Naomi Weiss.

    In Search of Gods and Heroes: Children of Nalowyn , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 929min
    Buried in the scriptures of Ibea lies a story of rivalry, betrayal, stolen love, and the bitter division of the gods into two factions. This rift forced the lesser deities to pledge their divine loyalty either to the shining Eternal Kingdom or the darkness of the Underworld.When a demon sneaks into the mortal world and murders an innocent girl to get to her sister, Chaeli, all pretense of peace between the gods is shattered. For Chaeli is no ordinary mortal, she is a demi-goddess, in hiding for centuries, even from herself. But there are two divine brothers who may have fathered her, and the fate of Ibea rests on the source of her blood.Chaeli embarks on a journey that tests her heart, her courage, and her humanity. Her only guides are a man who died 1,000 years ago in the Dragon Wars, a former assassin for the Underworld, and a changeling who prefers the form of a cat.The lives of many others - the hideously scarred Anya and her gaoler; the enigmatic and cruel Captain Kerne; the dissolute Prince Dal; and gentle seer Hana - all become entwined. The gods will once more walk the mortal plane spreading love, luck, disease, and despair as they prepare for the final, inevitable battle.In Search of Gods and Heroes, book one of Children of Nalowyn, is a true epic of sweeping proportions which becomes progressively darker as the baser side of human nature is explored, the failings and ambitions of the gods is revealed, and lines between sensuality and sadism, love and lust are blurred. ungekürzt.

    Magic Touch (Witches of Windsor, #1) (eBook, ePUB)
    ESMEI never dreamed my small curatives shop in Windsor, England would attract the attention of war hero Sir William Meriwether. My feminine heart is aflutter when he enters. But I'm a witch and a healer, and he's a man in pain, so I heal him. Desperate to do him a good service, I stretch my powers to the limit-or perhaps beyond. Somehow, in curing his ailing leg, I unleash powers inside William. At a loss to stop what's begun, I'm forced to seek assistance from the coven I've sworn never to join. I dread the encounter, but for William's sake, I put my family's hatred aside. Getting to spend more time with William is an added enticement. WILLIAMI'm mesmerized by Esme O'Dwyer from the moment I lay eyes on her. Despite our different stations in society, I want something more personal than any restorative tea she might offer. As a gentleman, I contain those baser needs, and accept her assistance to ease the pain in my leg. When the alluring witch's touch bestows me with magic of my own, I want no part of it. But the coven's leaders insist magic never makes mistakes, and for this to have happened, I must be needed. I've never been one to shy away from duty, and being secluded for training with Esme is magical in more ways than one. ESMETrouble is coming to Windsor. The signs are all there. The race is on to train William as a witch before his power is needed, but our growing attraction is as undeniable as the battle that lies ahead.

    The Dawn of Everything (eBook, ePUB)
    INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A dramatically new understanding of human history, challenging our most fundamental assumptions about social evolution-from the development of agriculture and cities to the origins of the state, democracy, and inequality-and revealing new possibilities for human emancipation.For generations, our remote ancestors have been cast as primitive and childlike-either free and equal innocents, or thuggish and warlike. Civilization, we are told, could be achieved only by sacrificing those original freedoms or, alternatively, by taming our baser instincts. David Graeber and David Wengrow show how such theories first emerged in the eighteenth century as a conservative reaction to powerful critiques of European society posed by Indigenous observers and intellectuals. Revisiting this encounter has startling implications for how we make sense of human history today, including the origins of farming, property, cities, democracy, slavery, and civilization itself.Drawing on pathbreaking research in archaeology and anthropology, the authors show how history becomes a far more interesting place once we learn to throw off our conceptual shackles and perceive what's really there. If humans did not spend 95 percent of their evolutionary past in tiny bands of hunter-gatherers, what were they doing all that time? If agriculture, and cities, did not mean a plunge into hierarchy and domination, then what kinds of social and economic organization did they lead to? The answers are often unexpected, and suggest that the course of human history may be less set in stone, and more full of playful, hopeful possibilities, than we tend to assume.The Dawn of Everything fundamentally transforms our understanding of the human past and offers a path toward imagining new forms of freedom, new ways of organizing society. This is a monumental book of formidable intellectual range, animated by curiosity, moral vision, and a faith in the power of direct action.Includes Black-and-White Illustrations

    Dark Psychology Secrets: The Ultimate Skills to Learn Everything About Mind Control, Subliminal Persuasion, Manipulation, Brainwashing and the Dark Side of Human Behavior , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 198min
    Have you ever been in a situation where you felt somebody is getting the better side of the deal and you cannot seem to fight it? Have you been convinced into doing something which in hindsight seems very unlike yourself? Have you been in a relationship where you knew the person was wrong for you, but they always had a majestic hold on you and kept you pulling down in their gravity? Have you ever been brainwashed?Do you know the power of persuasion?If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then you have experienced the science and arts of dark psychology first hand. Keep on reading because you are going to learn about a whole new dimension of human psychology that you encounter in your everyday life and need to protect yourself from it!Dark psychology has been used since the dawn of early man. Deception and persuasion play into survival of the fittest. In essence, as long as humans have had thoughts in their heads, they’ve been thinking about how to outsmart and outwit other humans. It is only in the last century and a half that dark psychology has been studied in a modern sense, with the rise of criminology and forensic psychology as recognized sciences. Many pieces of the dark psychology puzzle were put into place well before then.In other words, dark psychology is anything that appeals to the baser side of human thought. Dark psychology is based on instinct, gut feeling, and the ability to read others. Whether using it to fight crime, hit sales quotas, or find a lover, dark psychology is all around us. Its power lies in how we use it, how we guard ourselves against it, and how we take it upon ourselves to study it.Over the course of the coming chapters, we’re going to examine many forms of dark psychology in depth. That knowledge will be yours to keep and use as you see fit. But as we go through and discuss the history and methodology of each facet of dark psyc ungekürzt. Language: English.
