    The Billionaire's Touch: The Sinclairs, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 445min
    After a troubling childhood, wealthy Evan Sinclair likes his life orderly and controlled. He rarely gives in to spontaneous urges - until he begins a chance correspondence with a mystery woman who sounds like his complete opposite. She intrigues and amuses him, and the interest seems mutual...which is more than he can say for his current obsession, Miranda Tyler, the tough-as-nails, sexy schoolteacher who's made it clear she's not impressed - or interested. Miranda finally has it all: a good job, friends, and the security of living in the quaint coastal town of Amesport, Maine. She even has an anonymous pen pal - a man she's never met yet has bonded with almost effortlessly. The only thing unsettling her life is Evan Sinclair. The handsome billionaire is arrogant, pompous, and far too used to getting his way. Miranda tries her best to avoid him, until Evan's steamy kiss turns her world upside down. Soon their red-hot desire is scorching the sheets and has them both spinning out of control. But when secrets are revealed, will their insatiable attraction keep them together or force them apart? In J. S. Scott's The Billionaire's Touch, the eldest Sinclair just might have met his match. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Elizabeth Powers.

    The Spinster and the Rake , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 432min
    The spinster: As a maiden aunt, Gillian Redfern lives as an unpaid servant to her demanding family. Little wonder she finds the attentions of a rake distracting, and even less wonder that her usual good sense begins to unravel when Lord Marlow takes her in his arms. The rake: Ronan Patrick Blakely, Lord Marlow, is a man of great charm and little moral character, a gambler, a womanizer, and handsome as sin to boot. He has no qualms about placing a wager on the virtue of one small, shy spinster. But Lord Marlow is about to discover that Miss Redfern is more siren than spinster. She amuses him, arouses him, and, much to his dismay, makes him a better man. Gillian will discover, in turn, that Lord Marlow possesses the power to turn her into a very wicked woman. The rake and the spinster are poised to find a love that neither could have imagined. If only someone weren't out to destroy them both....

    A full-length feel-good romance with a HEA! Includes a bonus preview of Cynthia's huge hit, Dom Vs. Domme. Neither of them wants romance. Too bad that's what they desperately need. Rachel Taylor's freelance business barely pays her own bills, let alone her mother's. Her social life is confined to one friend working at the neighborhood coffee shop. And her love life? Duds and heart breakers. Then, hot, young, and artistically talented Zachary Feldman walks into her life. Too bad she's just made a vow of celibacy. Sometimes what an old, broken heart needs is a second chance at love. Playboy Zack, third son of the affluent Feldman Steel empire, doesn't have a lot expected of him. Which is why he spends his whole day on his yacht when he's not pursuing his next artistic endeavor. Women are amusements. And no one amuses him more than Rachel, the beguiling woman he meets in a quiet coffee shop. "I'm not ashamed to say I'm halfway to loving you." A game of hard-to-get culminates with Rachel agreeing to one thing: being "just friends" with a man who has made his intentions clear. Set on the serene waters, in the creative studio, and beneath the hot lights of a bangin' Indian wedding, Just Friends is the perfect way to end your summer. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Things I Overheard While Talking to Myself , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 361min
    On the heels of his acclaimed memoir, Never Have Your Dog Stuffed, beloved actor and best-selling author Alan Alda has written Things I Overheard While Talking to Myself, an insightful and funny look at some of the impossible questions he's asked himself over the years. Picking up where his best-selling memoir left off, and having been saved by emergency surgery after nearly dying on a mountaintop in Chile, Alda finds himself not only glad to be alive but searching for a way to squeeze the most juice out of his new life. Looking for a sense of meaning that would make this extra time count, he listens in on things he's heard himself saying in private and in public at critical points in his life - from the turbulence of the 60s, to his first Broadway show, to the birth of his children, to the ache of September 11, and beyond. Reflecting on the transitions in his life and in all our lives, he wonders if there's one thing - art, activism, family, money, fame - that could lead to a "life of meaning". In an audiobook that is candid, wise, and as questioning as it is incisive, Alda amuses and moves us with his unique and hilarious meditations on questions great and small. Things I Overheard While Talking to Myself is another superb Alan Alda performance, as inspiring and entertaining as the man himself. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alan Alda.

    Day Drinker, Hörbuch, Digital, 41min
    Tony B is professionally funny, whip-smart, and stylish. Day Drinker, his debut album, pokes your funny bone and tickles your fancy. It's easy to love his upbeat, good-natured sense of humor. When he jabs at the audience, Tony pulls his punches; his razzing is gentle, his sensibility is metered. Jokes are crisp, polished, and to the point. The energy from the Arizona-based comedian is playful and warm. Much of Day Drinker celebrates commonalities, a suburban pragmatism. There's no cooler-than-you, clasping-to-youth delusion. Tony B highlights and delights in everyday comforts. Many of his jokes find the silver lining in getting older. His (relative) maturity has earned him a unique perspective, one that informs his brand of unassuming, self-assured, positive comedy. In one of the album's highlights, Tony B reminisces about youthful arrogance, drunk driving and trying to get away with it. The comedian muses and amuses about the headache and hassle. If there's a competition between clubbing with out-of-touch divorced men in their 30s, trying to be a cool guy in your 20s, and happy hours with domestic types, mommy ragers win by a mile. Day Drinker is filled with life stories and lively stand-up. Tony B has an eye for detail and the talent to relay it. With Day Drinker - featuring elderly run-ins at the gym, being dissed by Millenials, and everything in between - Tony B shines!

    Bound: Chinatown Demons, Book One Chinatown, San Francisco. A different place - another time - and where the city’s streets keep secrets and shadowy mysteries, SFPD Inspector Spencer Ricci needs to dig through after he finds himself on a case involving a dismembered, mummified man in a restaurant’s locked storage room. Spencer drags around a lot of baggage, including an ongoing battle with the bottle and a long career as an LAPD detective he’d set fire to in a blaze of booze-soaked mistakes. San Francisco is supposed to be a new start, but his old ghosts haunt him, beckoning him back into his self-destructive bad habits. Bad habits that include contemplating doing dirty things with the wrong kind of guy and this time, it’s a sleek, cold-tempered medical examiner named Xian Carter with a complicated reputation. For a century-old demon, Xian Carter is content with his secretive life. Hiding his nature from the mundane world, he blends in with the city’s inhabitants as best he can but even the best of predators make mistakes. Delving into the mysteries of the dead provide a welcome distraction from endless nights and hiding in plain sight amuses him, until something supernaturally wicked comes knocking on his door with an extremely hot, broody Inspector close behind. Murder makes for strange bedfellows and this one is no exception. The twists and turns of the case leaves Xian and Spencer on a wild goose chase after clues, but Xian can only hope there’s a human at the end of the trail - because the last thing San Francisco needs is another predator.  ungekürzt.
