    Nikki's Conquest , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 31min, (USK 18)
    A glance. Sometimes that's all it takes for desire to overwhelm you, to make the body of a total stranger all you want, in all the sweating, screaming ways propriety says should be forbidden. For Fiona, that glance just happened in the most unlikely of places, a crowded mall filled with tens of thousands. And in that glance is something terrifying. But its not the location that upsets her, not the sudden steaming arousal that shames her. It's not even the guilt that eats her because the glance isn't with her husband. The fear that's found her, that's begging her to flee from the lust and connection she's found in that glance, is a hidden secret she's run from for years. For on the other side of that glance, beaming in all its feminine glory, is the face of another woman. A face that's determined to have her. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jessica Jeffries. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/120129/bk_acx0_120129_sample.mp3.

    The Testament of Mariam , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 686min
    Today I had word that my brother Ya'aqôb is dead. When this news reaches Mariam, living in exile in the province of Gaul, memories of her girlhood in faraway Palestine are painfully awakened. For years she has blocked them from her mind, but as illness and old age overtake her, she begins to relive the time when she defied all propriety and convention and followed her charismatic brother Yeshûa and her betrothed Yehûd'a in their daring but perilous adventure. "We were young. We were going to change the world." Mariam shared the excitement, the fear and the mystery of the mission, but cannot forget the horror of its ending. With powerful resonances for today, The Testament of Mariam takes us into the turbulent world of rebellious Galilee under Roman occupation, and the courageous lives that altered the course of history. ungekürzt.

    The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales from the Old French , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 170min
    Quiller-Couch translates four French fairy tales into English, some of which are perennial favorites, witness Disney's animated rendering of Beauty and the Beast or Jean Cocteau's critically acclaimed film version of the tale. (It was written by Mme Gabrielle de Villeneuve, who died in 1755 and lives only by grace of this one of her several original romantic stories.) Other fairy tales included in this compilation are Charles Perrault's (1628-1703) The Sleeping Beauty, Bluebeard, and Cinderella. Arthur Quiller-Couch had this to say regarding his translation of these tales: "My own share in this volume is, perhaps, less easily defended. I began by translating Perrault's tales, very nearly word for word; because to me his style has always seemed nearly perfect for its purpose; and the essence of 'style' in writing is propriety to its purpose." ungekürzt.

Why, then, three years after their annulment and half a world away, does he track her down at her clinic in the remotest corner of India?

But as they risk their lives for each other on the journey home, will the biggest danger be the treacherous war around them - or their rekindling passion? ungekürzt. Language: English.
