At Piper's Point , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 586min
Ten years and many boyfriends later, Cassidy Winters finally returns to the ancestral home of his late grandmother, Sadie Hart, despite the best efforts of his father to prevent it. Cassidy's plans of a quiet, seaside ceremony to wish a final farewell to Sadie quickly unravel. Interruptions run roughshod, beginning with Neil, who walks out of the ocean and straight into Cassidy's bed. The dominos topple one by one and news of his arrival spreads faster than Cassidy's legs, bringing his boyhood friend and first love, Nate Sommers, to his doorstep. As if the island wasn't getting crowded enough for Cassidy's good taste and bad decisions, best friends Ollie and Spencer arrive in time to witness the uninvited return of Cassidy's most recent ex, Teddy, who's refusing to stay dumped. Fists fly and all hell breaks loose amid mojitos and martinis while Cassidy finds himself planning a huge party to celebrate Sadie's life. Accusations are aimed as arguments and libidos boil over, but even through the chaos Cassidy knows exactly who he wants. While he's certainly willing, he isn't sure if he's ready or able for love and life at Pipers Point. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Lesley.

Duck Duck Ghost: Hellsinger, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 485min
Paranormal investigator Wolf Kincaid knows what his foot tastes like. Mostly because he stuck it firmly in his mouth when his lover, Tristan Pryce, accidentally drugged him with a batch of psychotropic baklava. Needing to patch things up between them, Wolf drags Tristan to San Luis Obispo, hoping Tristan's medium ability can help evict a troublesome spirit haunting an old farmhouse. With Wolf's sister handling Hoxne Grange's spectral visitors, Tristan finds himself in the unique position of being able to leave home for the first time in forever, but Wolf's roughshod treatment is the least of his worries. Tristan's ad-hoc portal for passing spirits seems to be getting fewer and fewer guests, and despite his concern he's broken his home, Tristan agrees to help Wolf's cousin, Sey, kick her poltergeist to the proverbial curb. San Luis Obispo brings its own bushel of troubles. Tristan's ghost whispering skill is challenged not only by a terrorizing haunting but also by Wolf's skeptical older cousin, Cin. Bookended by a pair of aggressive Kincaids, Tristan soon finds himself in a spectral battle that threatens not only his sanity but also his relationship with Wolf, the first man he's ever loved. ungekürzt.

They Call Me Nuisance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 223min
With a name like Nuisance, life can be challenging, to say the least!Dakota's horse stops dead in front of the general store; there’s a wagon out front, and he stops right next to it. I am sitting here looking stupid; well, stupider than usual. A few minutes after we stop here, a very pretty young lady comes out of the store yelling at someone inside. She is dressed in men’s clothing, which is strange for the West these days. She is talking like a man, too. This lady can cuss with the best of them. She looks around and sees me staring at her. I’ve never seen a woman as pretty as her.“What are you looking at? Maybe the question should be what are you?”Now, I’m embarrassed, I’m trying to get that horse to move, but he ain’t going nowhere.When Nuisance, Dakota's horse, and the dog ambled into town, they had no idea what they were getting into. Not that it would have changed anything. They are simply not the type to allow anyone to ride roughshod over a lady.Join them as they help Miss Emily and prove to the bad guys that he is only a nuisance to them. ungekürzt.

Cobra Traitor: Cobra Rebellion, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 849min
Conclusion to the Cobra Rebellion Trilogy Cobras: technologically enhanced warriors bred to fight an alien menace no ordinary human can withstand. Once the Cobras fought the implacable alien invaders, the Trofts, to an uneasy stalemate. But in recent years they have faced an enemy more insidious, the oppressive regime known as the Dominion of Man. Now, the Cobra Worlds find themselves under the boot heels of the Dominion, forced into what amounts to slavery, living under martial law. But two clans of Cobras - the Moreaus and the Brooms - will not stand idly by and let the Dominion run roughshod over their home worlds. Now a threat from without looms. The alien Troft are again planning an attack. Before, they came to conquer. This time they've come to annihilate. If the Cobras are to survive, they may have to do the unthinkable: align themselves with the hated Dominion. Cobras are not known for taking the easy path - and this may be the hardest path of all. But If the Cobras can manage to avoid complete destruction or abject slavery, a new day may finally dawn on the Cobra worlds. The day of Freedom.

Her Secondhand Groom: Groom Series, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 536min
What he wanted was a plain and meek wife to take care of his children and stay out of his bedroom. What he got was a fiery temptress who, despite her plain appearance, was far more desirable than he could handle. Patrick Ramsey, Viscount Drakely, is used to having everything go according to his plans. And usually, it does, except when it comes to his three young daughters who are in desperate need of mother and governess. In an attempt to find a suitable woman, he stumbles upon the perfect woman for the post: Miss Juliet Hughes. Juliet, a local village girl, has been educated at London's most highly respect school for young ladies, and better yet, her plain features will make it easy for him to keep his hands off of her. But what Patrick doesn't realize is this plain young lady from a humble background is anything but the docile, biddable young lady he bargained for, and if he's not careful, he'll lose his heavily guarded heart a little more with each encounter they have. With unshakable confidence and a strong determination, Juliet has no intentions of letting this lofty lord run roughshod over her and will stop at nothing to remind him that they may have been born at unequal stations, but where it counts, they're matched perfectly. ungekürzt.

Madison's Music: On Reading the First Amendment , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 551min
Are you sitting down? It turns out that everything you learned about the First Amendment is wrong. For too long, we've been treating small, isolated snippets of the text as infallible gospel without looking at the masterpiece of the whole. Legal luminary Burt Neuborne argues that the structure of the First Amendment as well as of the entire Bill of Rights was more intentional than most people realize, beginning with the internal freedom of conscience and working outward to freedom of expression and finally freedom of public association. This design, Neuborne argues, was not to protect discrete individual rights - such as the rights of corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money to influence elections - but to guarantee that the process of democracy continues without disenfranchisement, oppression, or injustice. Neuborne, who was the legal director of the ACLU and has argued numerous cases before the Supreme Court, invites us to hear the music within the form and content of Madison's carefully formulated text. When we hear Madison's music, a democratic ideal flowers in front of us, and we can see that the First Amendment gives us the tools to fight for campaign finance reform, the right to vote, equal rights in the military, the right to be full citizens, and the right to prevent corporations from riding roughshod over the weakest among us. Neuborne gives us an eloquent lesson in democracy that informs and inspires. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Rapkin.

Blackfish City: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 623min
Miller gives us an incisive and beautifully written story of love, revenge, and the power (and failure) of family in a scarily plausible future. Blackfish City simmers with menace and heartache, suspense and wonder. Plus, it has lots of action and a great cast of characters. Not to mention an orca and a polar bear! (Ann Leckie, New York Times best-selling author and winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Clarke Awards) After the climate wars, a floating city is constructed in the Arctic Circle, a remarkable feat of mechanical and social engineering, complete with geothermal heating and sustainable energy. The city's denizens have become accustomed to a roughshod new way of living; however, the city is starting to fray along the edges - crime and corruption have set in, the contradictions of incredible wealth alongside direst poverty are spawning unrest, and a new disease called "the breaks" is ravaging the population. When a strange new visitor arrives - a woman riding an orca, with a polar bear at her side - the city is entranced. The "orcamancer", as she's known, very subtly brings together four people - each living on the periphery - to stage unprecedented acts of resistance. By banding together to save their city before it crumbles under the weight of its own decay, they will learn shocking truths about themselves. Blackfish City is a remarkably urgent - and ultimately very hopeful - novel about political corruption, organized crime, technology run amok, the consequences of climate change, gender identity, and the unifying power of human connection. ungekürzt.

Kissin' Tell: Rough Riders Series, Book 13 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 765min, (USK 18)
She once led him around by a string. Now he's the one holding the reins. Georgia Hotchkiss swore wild horses couldn't drag her back to Sundance, Wyoming. So it's ironic she's forced to take a rodeo PR job in her former hometown - right before her 10-year class reunion. The only thing worse than facing her cheating ex-husband and his pregnant wife? Showing up to the reunion without a date. Fate smiles on her when she runs into her former classmate and current cowboy hottie Tell McKay. With his infectious smile and fun-loving ways - not to mention his banging body - he's the perfect solution to her problem. Tell McKay had it so bad for Hot Lips Hotchkiss during high school that he let her run roughshod over him. But he is no longer that easily manipulated boy - these days he's earned a reputation with the ladies that lives up to the McKay last name. He agrees to escort her to the reunion with one stipulation: that Georgia proves she has left behind the goody-goody cheerleader of the past by sharing his bed. Their sexual chemistry flashes so bright, they barely notice that the reunion has come and gone, and now they're tangled up in another dreaded "R" word - relationship. But if Tell wants to get the girl this go-around, he'll have to come up with a whole new set of knots to tie up her heartstrings. Warning: Contains a sweet talkin' wild cowboy with a wagon load of crazy-hot sex fantasies and the mad bedroom skills to back up his claims. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rebecca Estrella.

Something haunted this way comes...and it means big things for Ghost Hunters, Inc. It seems Phantoms, one of the most popular shows on the Independent Ghost Hunting Network, is interested in doing a location shoot at Ludington Asylum, which just happens to be located on a small island near Whisper Cove. Since childhood, Harper Harlow has been infatuated with the story of a crazy doctor gone rogue and the resulting investigation that found numerous missing patients (but no bodies) at the former institution. Producers want to feature Harper and Zander on their show, and Zander is happy to oblige despite Harper's reticence. Sensing his girlfriend is struggling under the weight of her worry, Jared Monroe takes some vacation time and decides to tag along on what's supposed to be a three-day excursion full of mayhem and madcap adventure. Not long after landing, people start disappearing and Harper's not convinced it's the ghosts running roughshod over the group. It seems they might have a killer in their midst, although unraveling the hows and the whys of an old mystery overlapping with a new one is anything but easy. It's a race to the finish for Whisper Cove's favorite ghost hunter. She has to solve a mystery with ties to the past, save her friends and the man she loves in the present, and find a way to help the trapped spirits so they can look forward to a different future. Of course, Harper has to survive herself to do it. Someone is bound and determined to make sure that doesn't happen, and it's going to take everyone working together to survive until the final day. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Angel Clark.
