On the heels of her most recent mission in Ireland, CIA covert agent Paige Fleming is ordered to rescue one of her assets: Gregori Kovač, the premier moneyman for every organized crime outfit in Eastern Europe. Grey knows Paige as Alexandra Pruest, an expert thief masquerading as a bored aristo-brat. She'll have to burn that identity and her friendship with Grey in order to save him from the Russian gangster who has ordered his death while convincing her former lover to defect. Paige arrives in Prague and finds the situation more complex than she anticipated. Grey is angry, hurt, and confused by the deception she'd orchestrated at a time when she needs him to trust her most. She can't get Eoin Fitzpatrick, the MI-6 officer she'd fallen for in Dublin, out of her thoughts. And Grey is refusing to leave the Czech Republic without Leyla Petrovsky - his latest paramour and the long-time mistress of the gangster whom wants Grey dead. Grudgingly embroiled in a sexually provocative and psychologically tense drama, Paige must discern whom she can trust - or die trying. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lily Horne.

1662: Jakob Kuisl, the hangman of a village in the Alps, receives a letter from his sister calling him to the imperial city of Regensburg, where a gruesome sight awaits him: her throat has been slit. When the city constable discovers Kuisl alongside the corpse, he locks him in a dungeon, where Kuisl will experience firsthand the torture he’s administered himself for years. As nightmares assail him, Kuisl can only hope to prevail on the Regensburg executioner to show mercy to a fellow hangman. Kuisl’s steely daughter, Magdalena, and her young doctor paramour, Simon, rush to Regensburg to try to save Jakob, enlisting an underground network of beggars, a beer-brewing monk, and an Italian playboy for help. Navigating the labyrinthine city, they learn there is much more behind the false accusation than a personal vendetta: a plan that will endanger the entire German Empire. Chock-full of fascinating historical detail, The Beggar King brings to vibrant life another tremendous tale of an unlikely hangman and his tough-as-nails daughter, confirming Pötzsch’s mettle as a storyteller at the height of his powers. ungekürzt.

Hungry in Texas: The Hunger Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 183min
This is the first book in the romantic western Hunger Series.... Imagine a girl stuck in a dysfunctional relationship. Imagine Texas, the Colorado River, and one morning when the boyfriend is off at a Hot Rod Convention in Dallas with his paramour, she up and leaves town in her pickup truck with her just the clothes on her back. Now picture in West Texas, a small farm in the middle of nowhere that she inherited in a surprise move from a distant relative - a town with a lonesome café and some wild and crazy local characters she makes into friends. There will be tensions as a land-grabber tries to take over her farm, tensions as the local hunk rescues her from a dangerous flood, but, as there should be in a good story, there will be tests of her courage and inventiveness; there will be helpers and villains along the way and, of course, there will be red-hot cowboy love scenes. And when the climax of our story comes along, you will have goose bumps along your spine, wondering if it will turn out all right. Romance, danger, mystery. Everything a good novel should have. You're going to love this girl. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stacy Hinkle. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/048289/bk_acx0_048289_sample.mp3.

The Lady Loves a Scandal: Regency Novella , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 173min
Originally published in the It Started with a Whisper anthology Lady Sybil Anson thought she had it all. Even a match of the heart, despite so many London elite marrying for convenience. But the night before their betrothal was to become official, the love of her life vanished - with a hastily scrawled note and little more. She feared the worst as her heart ached for Gideon, and the scandal sheets simply made matters worse with their preposterous musings on the hows and whys of Viscount Galway’s disappearance. Now, more than a year later, he’s unexpectedly back, and Sybil will have her answers. Many, many years ago, Gideon Lyndon made a grave mistake. One he’s spent most of his adult life trying to rectify. And despite the progress made, the sacrifices were extensive and damaging. On the verge of repairing one misdeed, he finds himself faced with his greatest challenge yet: winning back the woman he has loved since the moment he met her. But after a year of silence, convincing his headstrong paramour to take him back will not be easy. Especially since he can’t even explain why he left - not if he wants to keep her safe. ungekürzt.

Max once again runs into trouble - and Mecha. She offers him temporary shelter from the KGB agents on his trail, but their undeniable attraction offers only a small glimmer of hope that their paths will ever cross again.
