    A General Betrayal: The Sufferings and Trials of Carlotta Frances Roddey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 97min
    This is the true story a woman swindled out of a fortune by her famous ex-Confederate-general husband, Philip Dale Roddey. You will find this story nowhere else in material about Roddey but it was splashed across the nation in newspapers in 1874 and followed closely by the New York Times. From the date of their marriage until her trials for grand larceny and perjury, Carlotta Frances (Shotwell) Roddey believed nearly everything her charming southern husband told her. Why wouldn't she? He was 20 years her senior, was friends with President Ulysses S. Grant, and loved to stay in the best hotels in New York and Washington. The well-invested legacy left by her father had made her rich and she didn't know the man who introduced her to everyone as his wife was a bigamist and adulterer. While pregnant, her life was turned upside-down. She was arrested, put on trial, and denied by Roddey. Here are the lurid details by Carlotta herself, with plenty of updated information about the players and the trials. Was she really as naive as she portrays herself in this book? Decide for yourself. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brian V. Hunt, Claire Dayton. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/081904/bk_acx0_081904_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    A job to die for. Women to kill for. Dangerous times call for dangerous men like the Hudson Kings - and making it out alive is only half the fun. Nick Dawes just had to go and prove something to himself. The brilliant moneyman of the Hudson Kings is in deeeep trouble after losing $20 million during a "freelance" heist, and now a Russian crime boss wants the money and Nick's head. Nick needs to make himself scarce - and find someone to babysit his fish. Someone like lush, gorgeous Jane MacGregor, who might just be the death of him... After being swindled by her jerk of an ex, Jane can't say no to house-sitting a luxurious Fifth Avenue penthouse. The only downfall - aside from Nick's tendency to show up covered in bruises and blood - is an increasingly strong attraction to her superhot and expensively suited-up new boss. Never make the same mistake twice. But when Nick's dangerous profession crashes in on Jane's quiet little world, all hell breaks loose. And Jane is about to find out just what kind of man she's falling for. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kristin Watson Heintz, John Lane.

This pointed and witty memoir depicts her passage - from her very first attempt to contact a modeling agency, to walking the exalted runways of Milan. Being a model is never easy.

    The Heavenly Table: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 834min
    From Donald Ray Pollock, author of the highly acclaimed The Devil All the Time and Knockemstiff, comes a dark, gritty, electrifying (and, disturbingly, weirdly funny) new novel that will solidify his place among the best contemporary American authors. It is 1917, in that sliver of borderland that divides Georgia from Alabama. Dispossessed farmer Pearl Jewett ekes out a hardscrabble existence with his three young sons: Cane (the eldest, handsome, intelligent); Cob (short, heavyset, a bit slow); and Chimney (the youngest, thin, ill-tempered). Several hundred miles away in Southern Ohio, a farmer by the name of Ellsworth Fiddler lives with his son, Eddie, and his wife, Eula. After Ellsworth is swindled out of his family's entire fortune, his life is put on a surprising, unforgettable, and violent trajectory that will directly lead him to cross paths with the Jewetts. No good can come of it. Or can it? In the Gothic tradition of Flannery O'Connor and Cormac McCarthy, with a healthy dose of cinematic violence reminiscent of Sam Peckinpah, Quentin Tarantino, and the Coen Brothers, the Jewetts and the Fiddlers will find their lives colliding in increasingly dark and horrific ways, placing Donald Ray Pollock firmly in the company of the genre's literary masters. ungekürzt.

She needs Keegan to keep her safe from her past in Boston. Once he learns the truth, he'll send her back, but it's a chance she's willing to take.
