Omega Closet: Omega M/M Closeted, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 109min
Everyone has secrets. For some, it might be a report card that they "forgot" to bring home. For others, it might be an illness with which they don't wish to burden their loved ones. For Tracey Collins, it's his entire existence. In a world where one's place in society is determined by orientation in a dynamic of Alphas, Betas, and Omegas, masquerading as a Beta is the one security that a closeted-Omega has at his arsenal. With a widowed, athletic legend Alpha for a father - and the judgment of an entire community nipping at his heels - the last thing Tracey can afford to do is reveal himself to someone like dreamy, all-star soccer captain Aaron Harper. Caught between his duty to his prestigious father and his forbidden, innermost desires, Tracey is faced with a difficult choice: (1) continue to hide behind pheromone dampeners and omissions, cementing his father's reputation, or (2) take that leap of faith, where a particular green-eyed Alpha may or may not catch him.

Cleanness
'Cleanness is stunning, provocatively revelatory and atmospherically profound. Here is love and sex as art, as pulse, as truth' - Lisa Taddeo, author of Three WomenSofia, Bulgaria, a landlocked city in southern Europe, stirs with hope and impending upheaval. Soviet buildings crumble, wind scatters sand from the far south, and political protesters flood the streets with song.In this atmosphere of disquiet, an American teacher navigates a life transformed by the discovery and loss of love.

An art expert and a thief get caught in a dangerous game in this novel of daring deception and desire from #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts. After an assault at her family home in Maine, Dr. Miranda Jones is determined to put the experience behind her. Distraction comes when she is summoned to Italy - to verify the authenticity of a Renaissance bronze of a Medici courtesan known as The Dark Lady. But instead of cementing Miranda’s reputation as the leading expert in the field, the job nearly destroys it when her professional judgment is called into question. Emotionally estranged from her mother, with a brother immersed in his own troubles, Miranda has no one to turn to...except Ryan Boldari, a seductive art thief whose own agenda forces them into a reluctant alliance. Now it becomes clear that the incident in Maine was not a simple mugging - and that The Dark Lady may possess as many secrets as its beautiful namesake once did. For Miranda, forced to rely on herself - and a partner who offers her both unnerving suspicion and intoxicating passion - the only way home is filled with deception, treachery, and a danger that threatens them all. ungekürzt.
