The Contract , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 523min
A tyrant by day, a playboy by night. That's the reputation that precedes Richard VanRyan. He lives life the way he wants, no concern for the opinion of others. He cares for no one, is completely unrepentant, and has no desire to change his ways. Katharine Elliott works under Richard as his PA. She despises him and his questionable ethics, but endures all the garbage he sends her way, because she needs the job. Her end goal is far more important than the daily abuse and demands she tolerates from her nasty tyrant of a boss. Until the day he asks her for something she never expected. A new role with a personal contract-fiancée instead of PA. What happens when two people who loathe each other have to live together and act as though they are madly in love? Sparks. That's what happens. Can the power of love really change a person? Will they survive the contract? What do you do when the one person you hate the most becomes the one person you can't live without? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Lane, Tatiana Sokolov.

The Dakota Cipher , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 745min
William Dietrich is back with another fast-paced new adventure - one that brings together Norse mythology, the American wilderness, and a swashbuckling explorer. Ethan Gage, the hero of Napoleon's Pyramids and The Rosetta Key, just wants to enjoy the fruits of victory after helping Napoleon win the Battle of Marengo and end an undeclared naval war with the United States. But a foolish tryst with Bonaparte's married sister and the improbable schemes of a grizzled Norwegian named Magnus Bloodhammer soon send Ethan on a new treasure hunt on America's frontier that will have him dodging scheming aristocrats and hostile Indians. In 1801, newly elected-president Thomas Jefferson, taking office in the burgeoning capital of Washington, D.C., convinces Ethan and Magnus to go on a scouting expedition - one that precedes that of Lewis and Clark - to investigate reports of woolly mammoths and blue-eyed Indians. The pair have their own motive, however, which they neglect to share with the president: a search for the mythical hammer of the Norse god Thor, allegedly brought by fugitive Norsemen to the center of North America 150 years before Columbus. ungekürzt.

Dream Psychology: The Complete Work Plus an Overview, Summary, Analysis and Author Biography , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 375min
One cannot enter into a study of psychology without coming across the name of Sigmund Freud. Even in popular culture, his name stands in common with others like Albert Einstein and Karl Marx. There are downsides to this level of popularity. One often encounters the criticisms of Freud's work before ever reading his texts. The works of Sigmund Freud are the foundation of modern psychology. They display a brilliance and insight into the mind which overshadows the understanding of many of those to follow. This insight is demonstrated beautifully in Dream Psychology, which is a condensation of Freud's earlier work The Interpretation of Dreams. A comprehensive summary precedes the narration of the text. The summary includes a biography and background information on the author and a review by chapter. Also included are an overview, synopsis, and analysis of the text, and a section which explores the historical context, criticisms, and social impact of Freud's work. This is a must-hear for any who wish to understand the workings of the mind, or to explore the revolutionary impact of Freud on the field of psychology. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Peter and the Starcatchers: The Starcatchers, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 520min
Best-selling authors Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson have turned back the clock and revealed a wonderful story that precedes J. M. Barrie's beloved Peter Pan. In an evocative and fast-paced adventure on the high seas and on a faraway island, an orphan boy named Peter and his mysterious new friend, Molly, overcome bands of pirates and thieves in their quest to keep a fantastical secret safe and save the world from evil. This riveting adventure takes listeners on a journey from a harsh orphanage in old England to a treacherous sea in a decrepit old tub. Aboard the Never Land is a trunk that holds a magical substance with the power to change the fate of the world - just a sprinkle and wounds heal; just a dusting and people can fly. Towering seas and a violent storm are the backdrop for battles at sea. Bone-crushing waves eventually land our characters on Mollusk Island - where the action really heats up. Peter and the Starcatchers is brimming with richly developed characters, from the scary but somehow familiar Black Stache and the ferocious Mister Grin to the sweet but sophisticated Molly and the fearless Peter. ungekürzt.

Finding His Princess: A Cinderella Story: Filthy Fairy Tales, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 208min, (USK 18)
I don’t even know her name, but I swear I’ll find her and claim her as mine. Ten seconds. That’s how long it took for me to decide that this early morning diner waitress was going to be the next lucky girl to hop onto my princely d*ck. Yeah, I was hungover as f*ck and still wearing last night’s tuxedo, but that’s never exactly been a problem. Most of the time I don’t even have to ask. His Royal Hardness has a reputation that precedes the rest of me, though not by much - and girls from all over the kingdom and just dying for a ride. Not her. This girl runs away, and I’m left standing there like an *sshole. Now all I’ve got is the memory of her perfect body, luscious lips, and devious smile - but not her name. To make matters worse, my father is insisting that I settle down and stop embarrassing him, so he issues an ultimatum: find a wife, or else. I know exactly who I want. But first I have to find her. Finding His Princess is a very steamy, cheesy, and over-the-top Cinderella story that’ll melt your headphones and your heart! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Morgan Tyler, Parker Lang.

The Knight's Chain (A Chained Gods Series Story): The Chained Gods Series, Book 1.5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 23min
The Akita was massive, a fine example of the breed - with the single exception of his current physical state: skeletal, matted, and attached to a cement post by a thick logging chain. He refused to let those things bother him, however; they were mere nuisances, after all.What mattered most to him was that any of his captors - the men in black - who crossed his path would die. Simple as that. He was done with the torture, had enough of the domination; who were these men to treat him as a mongrel, a cur? Where was the respect he instinctively knew he’d earned and demanded in better days?His mind may have been jumbled, with memories of the past escaping him - but he knew one thing for sure: he was more than this beast on a chain. Knew he was born for greater things, knew he mattered somewhere; if only he could get back to wherever, whatever, whenever that was. For now, he would wait....The Knight’s Chain, a short story, precedes The Curse of Cur, and can be listened to before book two of The Chained Gods Series or after to flesh out the character of the knight. ungekürzt.

How to Break Your Identification with Emotional Trauma in 10 Days: Ten Guided Exercises to Reestablish Your Original Identity, Hörbuch, Digital, 128min
During the next 10 days, you will learn to break your identification with emotional traumas by restoring your original consciousness, the essential nature of who you are. Your original consciousness precedes any circumstances, beliefs, or learned experiences that could be determinant factors of your personality.When a traumatic event occurs, you experience a chemical reaction in your brain and body that causes the crystallization, or impression, of a perception. This impression can have many consequences: It becomes a defining factor of your personality and behavior, and it creates psychosomatic patterns of cellular communication that end up affecting your physical body functions, all of which could entail a number of negative ramifications.This audiobook contains 10 guided meditations and visualizations that help you reestablish your self awareness and disconnect from the awareness of a traumatic experience. These techniques are a practical application of the concepts learned in The Power of the Elevation of Consciousness.The Author, Johanna Bassols, is known for her practical and experiential ways of teaching us how to stimulate our connection to higher consciousness by becoming aware of our original persona. A concept that she presents in her books, accompanied by guided exercises, like the ones in this audiobook, that allow us to experience it. Language: English. Narrator: Johanna Bassols.
