When the League is betrayed there are severe consequences for the neighbouring nobility and Paul himself only just escapes a violent death at the hands of his own serfs. Who has betrayed them? Is it Claude de Chauxfille Paul's erstwhile rival in love or is the beautiful Etta, his wife, keeping more secrets than he or Steinmetz can guess?

It's Okay Not to Have Kids: We Are More Than Our Parental Status : The Wabi Sabi , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 87min
There are numerous reasons why people don't have kids and the most common is not because they are selfish. In today's society, many of us understand that it's not appropriate to make comments on another person's weight, ethnicity, religion, or sexual persuasion. So why do we still feel it's appropriate to not only comment, but have an often-uneducated opinion on whether a person has a child or not?In It's Okay Not to Have Kids, Michelle Cox shares her experiences about not only surviving cancer and losing the ability to have something she always wanted – children – but then having to navigate societal pressures placed upon her and other people's opinions on how she lives her life.This is a book about resilience. It's about leading the life that you want and that's right for you. But mostly it's a book about understanding and appreciation for other ways. Everyone's life path is not the same and that's perfectly fine. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michelle J Cox.

But as of today, at least one of those is no longer true.I may never know the parents who abandoned me at the age of four.

Romero: Moreno Brothers, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 533min
Prim and proper middle school teacher Isabel Montenegro always runs the opposite direction from men like Ramon Romero. A foul-mouthed, uneducated, loose cannon has no place in her careful plans. But instead of running away, Isabel is completely captivated. The intensity of his nature, while a bit daunting, mesmerizes her in ways she can't begin to understand. She's unwilling to walk away - even when her instincts are screaming at her to run. Romero has no idea what he's getting himself into when he first kisses Isabel. Shocked at the passion she invokes in him, he believes he can keep his usual short fuse under wraps. Falling fast and hard for someone so flawlessly sweet only makes him more aware that he's far from perfect. If she is ever witness to his biggest imperfection, he's sure she'll bail. But when her meddling sister does the worst thing imaginable - bring other men between him and his Izzy - that fuse is lit and all bets are off. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tanya Eby.

Fifty-Nine in '84 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 718min
In 1884, Providence Grays pitcher Charles "Old Hoss" Radbourn won an astounding 59 games - more than anyone in major-league history ever had before, or has since. He then went on to win all three games of baseball's first World Series. Fifty-nine in '84 tells the dramatic story not only of that amazing feat of grit but also of big-league baseball two decades after the Civil War - a brutal, bloody sport played barehanded, the profession of uneducated, hard-drinking men who thought little of cheating outrageously or maiming an opponent to win. It is the tale, too, of the woman Radbourn loved, Carrie Stanhope, the alluring proprietress of a boarding-house with shady overtones, a married lady who was said to have personally known every man in the National League. Wonderfully entertaining, Fifty-nine in '84 is an indelible portrait of a legendary player and a fascinating, little-known era of the national pastime. ungekürzt. Language: English.
