    When Lady Lavinia first meets Edmund Templeton, the heir to the duke of Cambria, she finds him to be every inch the fist-fighting, rude, obnoxious rake rumors had painted him to be. When one of the duke's former gambling partner's manipulates it so Lavinia and Edmund are caught in a compromising situation, the pair is forced into a hasty plot to thwart a marriage of convenience, one Lavinia fears will end in disaster.  Edmund Templeton, son of the duke of Cambria, had always been a huge admirer of wives - provided they belonged to other men, of course. When his old love takes her revenge by forcing him into an unwanted marriage with a dowdy spinster, Edmund vows he will not let an inconvenient thing like a bride ruin his bachelor lifestyle.  By chance, Edmund and Lavinia realize the sparks can't be denied, and the pair has to work out this tension. This marriage might just have a happy ending - if only they'll allow it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Julie-Ann Amos.

    If you enjoy Studio Ghibli films you will love this short fantasy. Fourteen year old Jerusha Dowdy feels like a terrible burden to her Uncle Frank and Aunt April, who took her in when she was a baby. A burden that only grows once Jerusha starts having strange hallucinations - she sees bruises on her body if tree trimmers maim the trees near her front yard. And she can feel the pain of animals suffering, even those whose poor carcasses lie in the freezer, ready to cook. Her relatives adore their perfect son, Frank, Jr., and treat Jerusha like a disease. Their bullying is almost as bad as the taunting she endures at school because of her strangely shaped shoulders. Then, one day while her family is gone, Jerusha falls down the hall stairs, and is rescued by a peculiar old lady, Miss Solitaire, who reveals that she has been watching over Jerusha for years. She tells the girl that she has inherited some very special powers. Powers that could change Jerusha's life - and the Earth - forever! Can Jerusha accept the truth about herself? And if she does, will it help her find the acceptance she needs - from her own family?

    Horrifying illusions. Classified government operations. Heavily guarded secrets. Cryptic rumors. Dangerous prisoners. Irresistible passion. Demonic magic. Piers Anthony weaves this and more into Writer's Retweet, a collection of five short stories abounding in the adventure, magic, and naughtiness that fans have come to know and love from this author. In "Experiment", "Discovery", and "Mission", painfully average Bigelow Bilge and Paula Plaintiff are thrust unwillingly into a world fraught with terrifying, victim-specific illusions. Who - or what - is the source of these horrifying encounters? Why have Bigelow and Paula been targeted? A newspaper reporter in "Dull Street Incident" gets wind of a delicious scandal rumored to have punctuated a stale suburban street. Menacing prisoners, conniving teenage girls, and one well-kept secret leads this reporter to the story of a lifetime. But who will believe it? In "Forbidden Fruit", dowdy, middle-aged Edith happens upon a mysterious fruit that completely alters her life - and the life of Kent, an attractive young neighbor. Seduced by her newfound magical abilities and rediscovered sex appeal, Edith plunges into a world filled with demons, pleasure, and unthinkable risk. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    He likes the very back booth in the diner, walls on two sides, both of us on the same bench, me in the corner.At 29, almost five years younger than I am, he likes me to - he requires me to - call him Daddy; he calls me his Dirty Little Girl.This is insane; or depraved; or sick; or...all of the above.And here we sit.I surrendered my panties before we left the apartment, just a block away - a simple transaction, nothing terribly new or different for us.He requested; I rolled my eyes.I complied; he something between smiled and smirked.I rolled my eyes some more; he crumpled my panties - plain white cotton, not small, and dowdy - in his palm, sniffed them deeply, his eyes laser-focused on mine, before depositing them in his pocket, offering his crooked elbow, so we could link arms, and he could chivalrously escort me down the stairs, out into the street, and one-block-over, to dinner.As he talks to the waitress - in a slow, sleazy, seductive tone; surely nothing she hasn't heard before - his hand is up my skirt, the tip of his middle finger firm, oscillating just a little bit, as though in indecision, on.... ungekürzt.

    From Pamela Redmond Satran, the acclaimed author of Babes in Captivity and The Man I Should Have Married, comes a story of inspiration and transformation for the really desperate housewife. She's old enough to be his mother. Alice has always looked young for her age, even with her graying hair and her dowdy New Jersey housewife style. Make that ex-housewife: Now that her husband's gone and her daughter is grown, Alice is in desperate need of a whole new life. So she lets her best friend Maggie, a hip New York City artist, transform her on New Year's Eve. Soon, thanks to the wonders of hair dye and tight jeans, Alice looks really young, as one night in a Manhattan bar confirms. At midnight, she kisses a boy who was in diapers when she was in high school. She's having too much fun to care. The white lie Alice tells Josh gets her thinking that if no one asks her age, she doesn't have to tell. So she applies for a job she had briefly before becoming a full-time mom - and gets it. Meanwhile, Josh is falling head over heels for Alice, who's just way cooler than girls his age. He figures she's about 29 - and for the first time since she was 29, or possibly ever, Alice feels that life is ripe with possibility. Unfortunately one possibility is that she's gonna get caught. Challenging the adage that the truth will set you free, Younger is a hilarious and insightful story that proves that you're only as young as you feel. ungekürzt. Language: English.
