Slow & Steady , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 272min
A hard-headed alpha SEAL. A fiercely independent single mom who makes her living as a stripper. He'll get his way, one way or another. My fingers grazed the softest skin I've ever felt. "You're mine to protect now." Are you ready to meet the most extreme, over the top alpha male I've ever written? When Greyson tosses $20 on the stage of a strip club, the last things he expects to see are the haunted green eyes staring back at him. Finley should be home raising her infant daughter and baking cookies, not tucking singles into her G-string and giving lap dances. Greyson can't deny that he'd like his own private show, but there's not a chance in hell of that happening. The last time the former Navy SEAL saw her, she was dressed in black, holding a folded flag, and sobbing that it was all his fault...and he agreed with every single word. He couldn't do anything to help her then, but he can now. Finley deserves better than this dingy club, and when an obsessed customer crosses the line, Greyson leads the rescue and will do whatever it takes to make amends for their broken past. He never expected to want to settle down, but with Finley everything is different. For the first time ever, he can breathe. But Greyson will have to fight for what he wants in order to keep the woman with the green eyes he's dreamed about so often. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tyler Donne, Alexandria Wilde.

They say once bitten, twice shy. But I’ve never really been a fast learner.You don’t forget the man who leaves you in the dust - literally, driving off as you stand there sobbing, clutching your borrowed prom dress and shoes.You certainly don’t fall in love with him when you see him again after spending the better part of 15 years imagining his painful death from a fall off a cliff into a pit of hungry alligators.Well, you shouldn’t.Should you? No, you definitely shouldn’t. Got it.So explain to me why, 15 years after that fateful night, am I standing here face to face with last man I ever wanted to see again, Finn O’Reilly, thinking, he is still the sexiest man I’ve ever seen.He does sell his apology well. Arrogant prick, always so damned charming.To make things worse, now I’m stuck with him for a week...in Paris.Good thing there’s shopping and restaurants and museums to keep me busy.Right? Right.Then, why can’t I think of anything else other than knocking on his hotel door and telling him to pick up where we left off; no, not the dust leaving part, the hot, steamy, fog-up-the-car-windows kissing part.Question is, after 15 years, can I really forgive him for what he did? And how will I handle it if all he wants is a week of "what happens in Paris, stays in Paris?"Maybe the only reason broken hearts heal are to get broken again.Once Bitten is a sweet and sexy second-chance romance by Daisy Allen. There are no cliff-hangers, no cheating scenarios, and happily ever afters await the main characters. It’s the getting there that’s the fun part. ungekürzt. Language: English.

A Cry in the Night: Jessica Daniel Series, Book 15 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 550min
'Mom?' The word caught in the boy's throat. She didn't try to speak, didn't roll towards him. She didn't move at all. In the middle of the night, 14-year-old Samuel is woken by the sound of a terrified scream from the kitchen of his home on a quiet street. The police - finding him sobbing on the kitchen floor, cradling his mother's lifeless body - hit a dead end before the investigation has even begun: because although he witnessed the murder, Samuel is blind. But when Detective Jessica Daniel meets the boy, the way he uses just his sense of sound to accurately locate her hand to shake it convinces her that this clever young teenager could hold the key to the entire case. Her team disagree, but Jessica will do whatever it takes to get justice for the innocent. Samuel's description of an intruder he heard walking with a limp leads Jessica to an isolated seaside town, where a well-liked local man has been missing for days. Breaking into his house, Jessica finds him lying flat on the bed, a bullet wound under his chin. Digging into the victim's work records, Jessica uncovers a secret he shared with Samuel's mother and it's clear she was terrified for her son's safety. As Jessica pushes the boundaries to get closer to the truth, her most trusted colleague warns that she needs to watch her step...but Jessica won't stop until she's found the killer.

A Marked Woman , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 515min

Trapped behind closed doors, her attempt to escape fails. She fights back as attendants force a straitjacket over her head, pull her arms tight across her chest, and drag her to a padded cell.Exhausted, she lay helpless on the matted floor. Sobbing till her voice is but a whisper, she recalls her early years during the 1929 Depression, the happy times raising her two children in the Pennsylvania woods, and the difficulties World War II brought about during her 23 years of marriage.Naomi did her best to follow her religious up-bringing. There were many twists and turns during her 43 years of life, but what did she do so wrong that landed her here?"In Joan Foor's gripping novel A Marked Woman, we relive a time in recent history when a philandering husband could commit his wife to a life of torture, a time when misdiagnosis was rampant and straitjackets and shock therapy were accepted medical "treatments". We share a daughter and son's frustration, knowing the truth about their father's mistress yet unable to rescue their mother. The story grabs and does not let go, and the charming 1940s romance of the fated couple only makes the outcome more painful. A haunting, unforgettable must-read."

What My Bones Know (eBook, ePUB)
Every cell in my body is filled with the code of generations of trauma, of death, of birth, of migration, of history that I cannot understand. . . . I want to have words for what my bones know. By the age of thirty, Stephanie Foo was successful on paper: she had her dream job as an award-winning radio producer at This American Life and a loving boyfriend. But behind her office door, she was having panic attacks and sobbing at her desk every morning. After years of questioning what was wrong with herself, she was diagnosed with complex PTSD - a condition that occurs when trauma happens continuously, over the course of years. Both of Foo's parents abandoned her when she was a teenager, after years of physical and verbal abuse and neglect. She thought she'd moved on, but her new diagnosis illuminated the way her past continued to threaten her health, relationships, and career. She found limited resources to help her, so Foo set out to heal herself, and to map her experiences onto the scarce literature about C-PTSD. In this deeply personal and thoroughly researched account, Foo interviews scientists and psychologists and tries a variety of innovative therapies. She returns to her hometown in California to investigate the effects of immigrant trauma on the community, and she uncovers family secrets in the country of her birth, Malaysia, to learn how trauma can be inherited through generations. Ultimately, she discovers that you don't move on from trauma - but you can learn to move with it. Powerful, enlightening and hopeful, What My Bones Know is a brave narrative that reckons with the hold of the past over the present, the mind over the body - and examines one woman's ability to reclaim agency from her trauma.- Shop: buecher

Rain of Terror: A Blacklick Valley Mystery, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 549min
The child ran through the dark forest, sobbing, breathless, oblivious to the driving rain that soaked his matted hair and plastered the flimsy shirt against his skin. Jagged streaks of lightning cut across the night sky, creating a stark backdrop for the swaying black oaks silhouetted above him. He ran, stumbled, fell, and ran again, heart pounding in his thin chest, the sound of his own blood roaring in his ears...driven not by reason or logic, but by basic primal instinct - the instinct to survive. A child vanishes on his way home from school as thunder rumbles in the western horizon. Another is abducted from his bedroom on a dark and storm-filled night. A young mother is murdered in her bed as lightning flashes across the Valley. Who will be next? And why? When the tranquil community of Blacklick Valley, tucked into the dark, pine-forested mountains of western Pennsylvania, explodes in murder and missing children and terror sweeps across the Valley, Sheriff Jed Tyler is faced with the most challenging case of his career. Who would steal away innocent children as if they never existed? Why do the violent thunderstorms that rip across these Pennsylvania mountains ignite a fury in the mind of the killer that fuels his madness? And...why target Blacklick Valley? In his quest, will Tyler discover the answer to a dark secret hidden deep in his past? Will newcomer Jenny McConnell capture his free-spirited heart or plunge him into greater danger? With time running out, will Tyler unmask the identity of this madman, untangle the web of mystery, before another victim is taken, another murdered?
