    Four years have passed since I left home, my parents, and my brother Asher behind - since I shut out my past. And Erin. Four years since I last saw her, since I heard her voice and held her in my arms. I've spent my time forging a path from woman to woman, from bed to bed, trying to find an answer. But I think I've lost my way. There's no light at the end of the dark. No big surprise. I carry the dark inside me. I'm a bastard - branded as such from the start. I never give my phone number and address. I take my pleasure, and don't come back for seconds. No commitments, no promises, and no happy endings. Yeah, I'm a bastard down to the bone and I don't give a damn. But now I'm back in my birth town, the town I fled at 18 - back to make amends to the brother I abandoned and watch from afar the only girl I've ever wanted. Hope isn't a currency I can afford. I learned that lesson long ago. Yet when she looks at me and says my name, I can't help but hope. Stand-alone novel. No cliff-hanger. Warning: this book contains graphic language, sex, and violence.

    She programs a dating app for shifters. He's an ex-Army shifter with a dark secret. Their worlds are about to collide. Noah Wilding's family is being targeted by an anti-shifter hate group, so he took a medical leave from the Army to return home and help out. At least, that's the story he's told everyone and he hopes his dark secret will stay buried in Afghanistan. Emily Jones is the lead programmer for Wild Love, the new app that hooks up shifters and humans for a night of hot sex and no commitments. Only she hasn't had a date herself in years, ever since that dark day when her family didn't protect her when she needed them most. She figures one magical night with a hot wolf will help her finally move on with her life. When Noah swipes right for Emily, she thinks her dream one-night-stand is about to come true. But with a hate group planting car bombs during WildLove hookups, Noah and Emily are on the front lines of love. They have to hunt down a killer before he strikes again, and before they do more than heat up the sheets. Because humans and shifters might get wild for a night, but they're not supposed to fall in love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: J.F. Harding, Moreis Almeida.

    A profoundly inspiring and transformative argument that purposeful commitment and civil engagement can be a powerful force in today's age of restlessness and indecision. Most of us have had this experience: browsing through countless options on Netflix, unable to commit to watching any given movie—and losing so much time skimming reviews and considering trailers that it's too late to watch anything at all. In a book inspired by an idea first articulated in a viral commencement address, Pete Davis argues that this is the defining characteristic of the moment: keeping our options open. We are stuck in "Infinite Browsing Mode"—swiping through endless dating profiles without committing to a single partner, jumping from place to place searching for the next big thing, and refusing to make any decision that might close us off from an even better choice we imagine is just around the corner. This culture of restlessness and indecision, Davis argues, is causing tension in the lives of young people today: We want to keep our options open, and yet we yearn for the purpose, community, and depth that can only come from making deep commitments. In Dedicated, Davis examines this quagmire, as well as the counterculture of committers who have made it to the other side. He shares what we can learn from the "long-haul heroes" who courageously commit themselves to particular places, professions, and causes—who relinquish the false freedom of an open future in exchange for the deep fulfillment of true dedication. Weaving together examples from history, personal stories, and applied psychology, Davis's "insightful without being preachy…guide to commitment should be on everyone's reading list" (Booklist, starred review).

    Coming to grips with Christianity means coming to grips with Paul. There is no figure aside from Jesus himself who is more important to the history of this world religion, and no figure from the age of the early church about whom we know more or of whom we have a more rounded view. Historian Luke Timothy Johnson, the best-selling author of The Real Jesus, offers a fresh and historically grounded assessment of the life and letters of Christianity's "apostle to the Gentiles" in this 12-lecture series. "One of the most fascinating, important, and controversial figures in the religious history of the West, Paul the Apostle continues to find champions and detractors, sometimes in surprising places," says Professor Johnson. This course addresses many questions concerning Paul's embattled life and work: Is Paul the inventor of Christianity or part of a larger movement? Is he best understood from the Acts of the Apostles or from his letters? Why does he focus on the moral character of the community? How do his supporters and detractors depict him? You consider his letters to the Thessalonians, Corinthians, and Galatians. You explore his religious commitments as a member of the Pharisaic movement, his persecution of the Christian sect, the dramatic experience that changed him into an apostle, and his work as a missionary and church founder. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. Language: English. Narrator: Luke Timothy Johnson.

    What if you could transform your relationship with yourself, your family and friends, your colleagues and clients, and your larger community through the power of commitment? What if 10 simple choices enabled you to enhance your leadership skills, improve your organizational culture, and make a local, national, or even global impact? In I Am Accountable, renowned speaker and consultant Sam Silverstein explains how accountability is the secret to filling your life with more meaning, more success, and more joy - and it all starts with your mind-set. In order to create a truly meaningful life, we must first accept that the problem is never other people. “The real problem,” Sam Silverstein maintains, “is what we believe about other people.”Silverstein’s new book shows why everything we have been taught about accountability is wrong. Contrary to popular belief, accountability is not a way of doing. Accountability is a way of thinking. It is how we think about ourselves and others. And it is the highest form of leadership.The secret to creating accountable relationships, and elevating the personal benchmark that Silverstein calls the Accountability Index™, lies in making 10 critical choices that support an accountable mind-set. I Am Accountable offers a comprehensive plan to help you establish and leverage that mind-set, deepen commitments, create lasting meaning in your life and relationships, transform the culture within your organization, and foster lasting positive change in the world. ungekürzt.

    US Air Force Colonel Benjamin "Benny" Alexander has been raising his daughter, Whitney Ivy, alone while continuing to search for the woman they both love. US Navy Lieutenant Stacy Greene has been deployed and the fact that no one in the Pentagon will reveal her mission or duty station makes Benny more determined to find her. His search will lead him from Tokyo, Japan, to the Blue Ridge Mountains around Asheville, North Carolina. He's on a mission of his own: to find the mother of their child and the woman he loves more than his next breath.Vivian Alexander, Benny's younger sister, and her law school cohorts and housemates are on a parallel mission without realizing they are putting their lives at risk. Vivian has other issues to resolve that, for her, may also be life altering. She is uncharacteristically caught in a prism of emotions, commitments, and obligations. Only her family's support can see her through her crises of conscious.The Alexander family of Summer County, South Carolina, is richly steeped in their ancestral traditions and embrace life, living it to the fullest. The strength and selflessness of the family links them together as tightly as the gold chain that each family member wears. Their relationships with others in their extended family promise that what threatens one will be faced by all. The bond that binds them is strong, but the challenges they face may be stronger. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Logan McAllister.
