That is, until my billionaire boss made me a proposition: I give him a baby, he gets to rehabilitate his image, he saves his father's company, and I get to raise a child who wants for nothing. Of course, the fact Jonathan Dane is utterly irresistible doesn't hurt. He might be ruthless, but he's putting everything I've ever wanted at my fingertips. A girl can pretend, can't she?  Jonathan: I thought I had it all: the cars, the mansion, the yacht. But there’s one thing I can’t quite shake: my reputation. I’m seen as callous, cold, calculating…And for the billionaire CEO of a toy company, that’s a problem. But someone had an idea: start a family of my own, father an adorable child, and silence my critics for good. And I’ve already got my eye on one of my gorgeous employees…I can’t wait to put my plan into motion.  This is a full-length romance, with steamy love scenes, a beautiful HEA and utterly no cliffhangers. ungekürzt.

    Sustained: Legal Briefs, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 501min
    Emma Chase, New York Times best-selling author of the Tangled series, returns with the second installment of the Legal Briefs series! A knight in tarnished armor is still a knight. When you're a defense attorney in Washington, DC, you see firsthand how hard life can be and that sometimes the only way to survive is to be harder. I have a reputation for being cold, callous, and intimidating - and that suits me just fine. In fact it's necessary when I'm breaking down a witness on the stand. Complications don't work for me - I'm a "need to know" type of man. If you're my client, tell me the basic facts. If you're my date, stick to what will get you off. I'm not a therapist or Prince Charming - and I don't pretend to be. Then Chelsea McQuaid and her six orphaned nieces and nephews came along and complicated the ever-loving hell out of my life. Now I'm going to Mommy & Me classes, One Direction concerts, and the emergency room and am knee deep in a damn compost pit. Chelsea's too sweet, too innocent, and too gorgeous for her own good. She tries to be tough, but she's not. She needs someone to help her and defend her - and the kids. And that - that I know how to do. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sebastian York.

    Democracy Matters: Winning the Fight Against Imperialism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 436min
    Democracy Matters is Cornel West's bold and powerful critique of the troubling deterioration of democracy in America in this threatening post-9/11 age of terrorist rage and imperial overreach, and an inspiring call for a resurgence of the deep democratic tradition in our country, which has waged war on the forces of imperialist corruption throughout our history. Praised by The New York Times for his "ferocious moral vision", West, in this vital sequel to his major best seller and contemporary classic Race Matters, returns to the analysis of what he calls the arrested development of democracy, both in America and in the Middle East, with a hard-hitting diagnosis. A callous free-market fundamentalism, an aggressive militarism, and an insidious authoritarianism are driving a bullying imperialism. But there is a rich and empowering tradition in America to fervent commitment to the fight against imperialist corruptions, and West brings forth the trenchant voices of that great democratizing tradition, from Ralph Waldo Emerson to Toni Morrison, in a brilliant and deeply moving call for the revival of our better democratic. This impassioned and empowering call for the revitalization of America's democracy, by one of America's most distinctive and compelling social critics, will reshape the raging national debate about America¿s role in today's troubled world. ungekürzt.

    Dangerous Jeeps and Me , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 424min
    Jenelle Embrey, a single mother of two boys from rural Virginia, never expected to challenge corporate giant Chrysler. She'd rather forget the horrific events of October 5, 2012, when she witnessed two people die in a fiery crash. Embrey, however, isn't one to walk away from her conscience. She adopted a new mission to proclaim the victims as heroes saving other innocent victims from the same fate. Embrey would scream the details of their unnecessary deaths to the world. Embrey sought support to force Chrysler to publicly admit flaws in the design of certain models of Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Jeep Liberty SUVs that catch fire in rear-end collisions because the gas tank sits directly in the crush zone. She gathered nearly 130,000 signatures on her online petition to Chrysler, united other safety advocates, and discussed the issue on major news outlets across the country. Dangerous Jeeps and Me is the story of one woman's quest to right a wrong, all the while working her full-time job of 15 years, caring for her two teens, looking after a cousin with intellectual disabilities, and volunteering at her local animal shelter fostering numerous kittens. As word of Chrysler's callous disregard for safety spreads, Embrey hopes to prevent more unnecessary tragedy. All proceeds from the sale of this book go to nonprofit/charity organizations. ungekürzt.

    Celine's Landing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 831min
    With the Second World War ravaging France, the Nazis prepare to annihilate the Jews living in the French Alpine village of Treaire. Six mid-20s Treaire citizens, lifelong friends - Remi, Celine, Amaury, Felicien, Daniel, and Alexis - all born within 10 days of one another, risk everything to rescue their Jewish neighbors and save the strategic Saint Laurnee railroad trestle and tunnel from Nazi sabotage. Combining forces with the brilliant but reclusive Doctor Gasper Chabot, this tiny band of Resistance fighters, known only by their code name "the Tristan", confront the callous brutality of the Nazi army - the most powerful military force in Europe. Each of the friends are irreversibly changed by the crushing demands of war as they surreptitiously undermine the Nazis by taking control of their radio communications, destructively attacking their military installations, and disrupting the supply lines supporting Hitler's troops fighting the Allies in Italy. Despite the Tristan's cleverness and good fortune, the power of the Nazi forces is relentless. After months of struggle, the friends' only hope for survival is if General Alexander Patch's 7th US Army can battle their way to aid the "Tristan" in their final fight for the strategic Falauge rail depot where they are mired in life and death combat defending the areas' Jews and the Saint Laurnee Passage they have pledged their lives to protect. ungekürzt.

    Where Is She Now?: A Murder Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 456min
    What kind of twisted mind does it take to commit murder? Try if you can, for just a few short minutes, to place yourself in that avenue. Imagine the perversion it would take to snuff out the existence of another human being. Wouldn't that callous act seem even more maniacal if it were planned, even staged, so that it unfolded like the acts of a play? Not random acts, not even accidental, but calculated and all for mere personal gratification. In the same pattern as a lie, once committed, more evil deeds will follow, for a criminal mind does not perceive what they are doing as abnormal. The calculating mind of pure evil can easily justify these random acts of violence. That type of evil has shown itself to be true far too many times in the past. How best to handle such a cunning creature - one who seems to hunger for the blood of others and cannot be sated. When the truth finally surfaces, all legal measures will fail, and the victims will be robbed of their restitution. Could you take justice into your own hands if you knew the justice system could do nothing and seek your own revenge for the life of a loved one? But what if you were next on the list? ungekürzt.

    The Parables of Joshua , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 233min
    In the latest chapter of his best-selling Joshua series, Joseph Girzone offers fresh inspiration in this collection of fifty never-before-published contemporary vignettes that underscore the most important lessons of the gospel. Joseph Girzone's novels about Joshua, the carpenter who transforms ordinary lives with words of peace and loving actions, have sold more than three million copies and captured the hearts of listeners and readers around the world. In The Parables of Joshua, perhaps his most powerful since since the original Joshua, Girzone distills the essence of Christian teaching in entertaining and inspiring "bite-sized" tales set against the background of current society. For some today, the parables of the New Testament are quaint, old-fashioned stories, with little relevance to everyday life in the twenty-first century. As Girzone writes in his Introduction, "I have heard the most callous people comment with such great piety on the parables that I could not help but wonder if we haven't made parables pleasant-sounding fables about human situations long past, but with no present-day meaning." In order to recapture their original vitality, Girzone revives the timeless messages behind the original parables by "dressing them in modern clothes," presenting them through Joshua in a conversational style that will resonate with a modern audience. ungekürzt.

    The Serpent's Bite , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 503min
    The Serpent's Bite is currently in the works as a movie with Pitch Perfect star Anna Camp co-producing and starring in the role of Courtney Temple. It's the first producing gig for Camp, whose credits include The Help, the Pitch Perfect films and HBO's True Blood.                   In an attempt to reconnect with his two alienated adult children, George Temple replicates the memorable horse trek through the forbidding Yellowstone wilderness they had enjoyed 20 years earlier. But his callous children, Courtney and Scott, accompany him only to persuade him to restore the financial support he has withdrawn. As they are led by a drunken guide and a venal horse wrangler over potentially lethal terrain, their bonding experience quickly disintegrates. Nostalgia is corrupted into a nightmare of lust, betrayal, and entrapment as the children's disturbing motives are revealed and dark family secrets are exposed. Courtney's appetite for selfish and violent pursuits establishes her as one of the most evil women in fiction, alongside the likes of Lady Macbeth. Through her, Warren Adler explores how an obsession for celebrity and blind ambition can distort familial love and turn a beloved child into a grotesque monster. As he did in the iconic The War of the Roses, Adler paints a frightening picture of the American family, only more sinister. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charity Spencer.
