Hold Me Today , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 681min
Rock bottom has never felt so good. At least, that's what I tell myself when I bargain with the enemy and score a renovation for my hair salon. The enemy? Nick Stamos, my best friend's older brother. He's got a body and face the Greek gods would envy, but his personality needs a major overhaul. He's surly. A rule follower. Did I mention he's seen me naked? I may have crushed on him for years, but the only place I want Nick swinging his hammer nowadays is at my salon. Except, he needs something in return...a fake girlfriend. And I'm just reckless enough to say yes. Hold Me Today is a steamy, slow-burn romance. It's the first audiobook in the highly anticipated Put A Ring On It series and can be listened to as a stand-alone. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patrick Zeller, Scarlette Hayes.

When the Night , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 403min
Manfred, a surly mountaineer recently abandoned by his wife, rents the upstairs apartment in his home in the Dolomites to Marina, a woman from the city, and her difficult young son. Deeply suspicious by nature, especially of women, Manfred spies obsessively on Marina, in whose shortcomings as a mother he finds resonances of his own mother’s desertion of him in childhood. When Marina’s frustration over her son’s refusal to eat or sleep leads her to harm the child, Manfred steps in, and the silent power struggle between them escalates. Yet Manfred’s attraction to Marina is as powerful as his distrust. In this alternately shocking and moving novel, Cristina Comencini has created a complex, psychologically profound portrait of two damaged, vulnerable people and the painful bond that develops between them as they are drawn into each other’s worlds. ungekürzt.

See Me After Class , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 752min
Did you have relations with my brother? Good question. I’d like to preface this by saying it was never my intention to ever get involved in a workplace romance, let alone get involved with the most surly, agitating, and pompous man I’ve ever met who just so happens to be my new friend’s brother. My intentions were to show students how English and reading books could actually be fun and make a new life for myself in the suburbs of Chicago. But so far, I’ve managed to be called into the principal’s office; I've been coerced into participating in the teacher's badminton league; and I've instigated passionate fights with Arlo Turner over education and decorum while losing my underwear at the same time. Known as Mr. Turns Me On, he’s the reason I might get fired from my first ever teaching job. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Zachary Webber, Erin Mallon.

McTeague , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 851min
Few works have captured the seamy side of American urban life with such graphic immediacy as Frank Norris's McTeague.

When Trina wins $5,000 in a lottery and increases the sum by shrewd investment, Schouler, who had wanted to marry Trina himself, feels cheated. In revenge, he exposes McTeague's lack of diploma or license.Forbidden to practice, McTeague becomes mean and surly, but the miserly Trina refuses to let him use her money, and they sink into poverty.
