Billionaire Romance: Big Spender , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 112min
The man had been quiet most of the night, looking more annoyed by the overgrown adolescents surrounding him than entertained. He stood out in other ways, too, at least several inches taller than the rest, twice the muscle of any other man in the room, chiseled features, and immaculately cropped, dark hair. His crystal blue eyes were expressive; cold as ice when he appeared angry, like he did in that moment. Looking at him, Maya found herself wondering if those eyes would shine like crystal fire when he was aroused. Mentally shaking herself, she stepped away from the table, nodding her thanks to the sexy stranger. Warning - This story has hot and steamy content, and is not suitable for all ages. 18+ ungekürzt.

Win Big or DieThe survivors built a community and called it Hope. After eight years, they allowed themselves to think that the zombie scourge was ending; the hordes fading away in the face of time.

One Nation Under Baseball: How the 1960s Collided with the National Pastime , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 488min
One Nation Under Baseball highlights the intersection between American society and America’s pastime during the 1960s, when the hallmarks of the sport - fairness, competition, and mythology - came under scrutiny. John Florio and Ouisie Shapiro examine the events of the era that reshaped the game: the Koufax and Drysdale million-dollar holdout, the encroachment of television on newspaper coverage, the changing perception of ballplayers from mythic figures to overgrown boys, the arrival of the everyman Mets and their free-spirited fans, and the lawsuit brought against team owners by Curt Flood. One Nation Under Baseball brings to life the seminal figures of the era - including Bob Gibson, Marvin Miller, Tom Seaver, and Dick Young - richly portraying their roles during a decade of flux and uncertainty. The book is published by University of Nebraska Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James McSorley. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/113829/bk_acx0_113829_sample.mp3.
