    To Wed a Wicked Earl , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 513min
    Adam Faramond, Earl of Rothbury, needs to find a wife -immediately! - or his beloved grandmother swears she'll leave him penniless. But Adam, an unrepentant rake, would only renounce a life of scandalous pleasure for one woman, the woman he's lusted after - and loved - for years. It's rather unfortunate, then, that Miss Charlotte Greene, a shy but beautiful blonde of impeccable manners and breeding, would never consent to be the blushing bride of a rogue...or so he thinks. But Charlotte believes that the earl, the only man whose touch leaves her trembling with desire, would never want a woman like her. Weary of her wallflower ways, Charlotte decides a friendship with the earl just might give her the excitement she desires. Keeping their true feelings hidden, she and Adam plan a sham ceremony to placate the dowager. But when the "marriage" of convenience takes an unexpected turn, will Charlotte and her wicked earl finally reveal their irresistible, unforgettable love - and delight in a lifetime of passion? ungekürzt.

    Cinder Fella: Prince for a Day , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 87min
    Cinderella meets Les Miserable (that's if Cinderella was a dude, and Jean Valjean was a young woman).There is great unrest on the island-nation of Fiaba, which just happens to be the Italian word for fairy tale. After successful revolutions in America and France, citizens on the poor side of the island demand change. In an attempt to subdue the revolt, the king offers the princess's hand in marriage to a commoner. It is just a public relations scheme to placate the poor. Marco Palladio, aka Cinder Fella, is an 18th century slacker who charms his way into winning the competition to marry the princess. However, Marco's true love is actually the head of the revolutionary forces, Francesca Lombrusco. On the big royal wedding night, as the revolutionists march on the castle, Marco must choose the crown or his heart. Cinder Fella is a fun, farcical fairy tale in chapter book form. Great reading for kids and the parents who love reading with them. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Scannell, Abigail Scannell.

In a bizarre reversal of the Stockholm syndrome, one of the kidnappers falls "in love" with her, bringing her flowers, even hiring a mariachi group to serenade her.Deliver Us from Evil plunges into the dark world of crime, rage, and violence without mercy, culminating in a thrilling and truly unforgettable climax. ungekürzt.

    Vermilion: The Adventures of Lou Merriwether, Psychopomp , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 891min
    From British Fantasy Award nominee Molly Tanzer comes her debut novel, Vermilion, a spirited, weird Western adventure that puts the punk back into steampunk. Gunslinging, chain-smoking, and Stetson-wearing Taoist psychopomp Elouise "Lou" Merriwether might not be a normal 19-year-old, but she's too busy keeping San Francisco safe from ghosts, shades, and geung si to care much about that. It's an important job, though most folks consider it downright spooky. Some have even accused Lou of being more comfortable with the dead than the living, and, well...they're not wrong. When Lou hears that a bunch of Chinatown boys have gone missing somewhere deep in the Colorado Rockies, she decides to saddle up and head into the wilderness to investigate. Lou fears her particular talents make her better suited to help placate their spirits than ensure they get home alive, but it's the right thing to do, and she's the only one willing to do it. On the road to a mysterious sanatorium known as the Fountain of Youth, Lou will encounter bears, desperate men, a very undead villain, and even stranger challenges. She will need every one of her talents and a whole lot of luck to make it home alive. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Emily Woo Zeller.

The goddess of winter will forgo her revenge if the Grail is returned.Dara and her friends take on this seemingly impossible task with the aid of an elf and the guidance of the Triad who carry on the responsibilities of King Arthur.
