His body ripples like an Adonis, sculpted in steel and dripping in sin. His flesh is inked with the mark of the chimera - one body, two very different halves. He plays hard. He plays rough.

She's got it all - the perfect little life in cozy suburbia with her perfectly nice boyfriend and their perfectly sufficient sex life. She's even got her perfect little career plan all wrapped up at Trial Run Software Group. But when it all falls apart, and Lydia's pretty, green eyes are fixed on a brutally sexual stranger - the man they call Masque - she comes to suspect that being strong isn't all it's cracked up to be. For now, Lydia wants something she's never wanted before... And she wants Masque to give it to her. Warning: this novel contains graphic sex and hardcore elements of BDSM.

    Lydia's Maintenance: Charlie and Lydia Struggle to Find Balance in a "Spanking Marriage": Book 8: The Discipline for a Lasting Marriage Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 124min, (USK 18)
    Charlie and Lydia continue to face long separations due to Charlie's blossoming career. To help Lydia make better choices, and stay focused on why doing so is important even in Charlie's absence, the two add "just-because" [later to be known as maintenance] spankings to their marriage. Lydia struggles with accepting them, since it seems so unfair to her to be spanked to the point of tears when she's done nothing wrong, even if the spanking ceases right after she begins crying. Their first effort at a "just-because" spanking ends with Lydia acting resentful, conflicted, and angry, and Charlie accusing her for the first time ever of being a "brat" in need of correction. Things eventually reach a state of equilibrium, until Charlie visits around the holidays, only to discover Lydia minimized the seriousness of a citation she got, and actually got cited not simply for speeding, but for careless driving by an officer who took pity on her when she was actually intoxicated. Lydia refuses to acknowledge that the verbal warning Charlie gave her a few years back matters at all, since it was mistakenly left out of their written spanking contract. The two must then figure out the complexities of Lydia being deserving of a scheduled "just-because" spanking the same day as Charlie's convinced she also deserves a punishment spanking. Given her obstinance, Charlie must also finally confront whether there are circumstances where he feels compelled to administer a forced punishment spanking despite a spanking contract which states that he'll never do so, and a personal promise not to do so. Note: This book contains vivid descriptions of sexual activity, domestic discipline, the spanking of an adult woman, anal sex, and anal discipline. If such scenes offend you or trigger you, please do not purchase this book. Please note: Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, is unintended and coincidental. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Ancient Lydians: The History and Legacy of the Iron Age Kingdom of Lydia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 72min
    When all these nations had been added to the Lydian empire, and Sardis was at the height of her wealth and prosperity, all the great Greek teachers of that epoch, one after another, paid visits to the capital. - Herodotus Of all the empires and kingdoms in the ancient world, few could compare with the Lydians in terms of wealth and opulence. From the early seventh century BCE until the middle of the sixth century BCE, the Lydians played an important role in the history of the eastern Mediterranean region as they took on the role of middleman between the empires of the Near East and the emerging Hellenic civilization in Greece. From their capital in Sardis, the Lydian kings traded and made alliances and war with numerous kings, tyrants, and generals, which ultimately cemented their role as a brief but historically important people and kingdom in the ancient world. An examination of the Lydian people and their kingdom reveals that their power did not materialize overnight, but was instead a long process, dependent upon several factors. The primary factor contributing to Lydia's success was its wealth. The Lydians were fortunate enough to possess large deposits of precious metals within in their territory, but how they exploited and utilized those resources is what truly made them successful. They were the first people to invent a currency which not only allowed them to create a thriving economy within their own territory, but gave them tool with which to influence both their friends and enemies abroad. The wealth of Lydia impressed non-Lydians to the point that even the most sublime Greek philosophers, who generally eschewed wealth, praised the high culture of Lydia and the Lydian people in general and the greatness of their capital city. ungekürzt.
