    Fifteen years ago, Lainey O'Toole made a split-second decision. She couldn't have known that her choice would impact so many. Now in her mid-20s, she is poised to go to culinary school when her car breaks down in Stoney Ridge, the very Amish town in which her long-reaching decision was made, forcing her to face the shadowed past. Bess Reihl is less than thrilled to be spending the summer at Rose Hill Farm with her large and intimidating grandmother, Bertha. It quickly becomes clear that she is there to work the farm--and work hard. The labor is made slightly more tolerable by the time it affords Bess to spend with the handsome hired hand, Billy Lapp. But he only has eyes for a flirty and curvaceous older girl. Lainey's and Bess's worlds are about to collide and the secrets that come to light will shock them both. The Search is a skillfully woven story that takes listeners through unexpected twists and turns on the long country road toward truth. Fans both old and new will find themselves immersed in this heartwarming--and surprising--tale of young love, forgiveness, and coming to grips with the past. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    An Assembly Such as This: A Novel of Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 602min
    She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me." So begins the timeless romance of Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice. Jane Austen's classic novel is beloved by millions, but little is revealed in the book about the mysterious and handsome hero, Mr. Darcy. And so the question has long remained: Who is Fitzwilliam Darcy? In An Assembly Such as This, Pamela Aidan finally answers that long-standing question. In this first book of the Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman trilogy, she reintroduces us to Darcy during his visit to Hertfordshire with his friend Charles Bingley, and reveals Darcy's hidden perspective on the events of Pride and Prejudice. As Darcy spends more time at Netherfield supervising Bingley and fending off Miss Bingley's persistent advances, his unwilling attraction to Elizabeth grows, as does his concern about her relationship with his nemesis, George Wickham. Setting the story vividly against the colorful, historical, and political background of the Regency, Aidan writes in a style comfortably at home with Jane Austen, but with a wit and humor very much her own. Aidan adds her own cast of fascinating characters to those in Austen's original, weaving a rich tapestry from Darcy's past and present. Austen fans, and newcomers alike, will love this new chapter of the most famous romance of all time. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: George Holmes.

    Looking for Mr. Right: And Finding Oh So Wrong for Me , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 328min
    “Miss Davis, why are you here?” He sat behind the desk, his elbows resting on the rich wood, his fingertips touching, and his dark eyes, barely tolerable of me.... He was the hottest man I’d ever seen, and I had dated a rock star, a basketball player, and a pilot, who were, in my opinion, all tens. “I need a job.” He picked up my resume, skimmed through it quickly, then set the folder on top of his desk. “I have a proposition for you.” “But....” “Miss Davis, please shut that little mouth of yours and listen.” I listened all right, and then I laughed in his face. “That’s preposterous, Mr. Wright.” “Why? Do you find me unattractive?” “Well, no.” “You already mentioned that you were desperate to find a husband and work. What I’m proposing isn’t really work, but it pays well, and after the contract is up, you will be all set for life. So, what’s the problem?” “I don’t know you. We barely met.” “Then I suggest we get to know one another right away. I’ll pick you up at six this evening. I’ve got your address here.” “But....” “What’s the problem now, Miss Davis?” “I - I don’t know what to wear?” “I’m sure you’ve got a little black number of some kind. Every woman does. Wear that and be ready by six. I’m never late.” This is similar to the story by Nicole Snow Baby Fever Bride. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cassandra Arnold.

    Magic is unpredictable.  I should know. It got me in hot water with four sexy sorcerers last semester. This semester, I’ve got my hands full, but things are looking up. My weapon is now my biggest supporter, even if she likes to go rogue and has her own ideas about what I need in every situation. My friends are by my side, and the Bellas are under my thumb now that they owe me. Even Rocco’s tolerable. But when I find out my dad has taken over my contract with my evil boss, I’m not about to let him go without a fight. Because of my unique abilities, I’m required to stay at the Academy of Sorcery until I learn to harness and control my magic. But with Cleo by my side and the three most powerful sorcerers on campus backing me up, I know I can save my dad even from afar. At least, I think the guys have my back. When disaster strikes, I don’t know who I can trust. Ryker’s still set on making my life hell, the Bellas probably want me dead, and even my friends have betrayed me before. Then there’s the mysterious new dark arts teacher on campus. There's only one way to find out the truth. It’s time to turn up the magic. Good thing my professor knows exactly how to handle it.   ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marnye Young.

    The Stolen Child , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 766min
    St Brigid's Island lies off the west coast of Ireland, and by 1960 it is a community in decline. It possesses no modern conveniences; there are also no doctors, priests, running water or electricity. The government wants the island evacuated, but those who have refused to go cling hard to their traditions. Among those remaining families are two sisters, Rose and Emer. Rose is beautiful, blessed with fertility and a deep love for her husband, but her sister, Emer, is cursed with both being unlovely and possessing a punishing gift - the power to harm with the touch of her hands. Having been attacked by a swarm of bees as a child, she was blinded in one eye, and the islanders viewed the attack as an act of malice by the spiritual Other World, and Emer is forever marked. Their lack of compassion and her resulting isolation have left her bitter and mistrusting. Her loveless marriage is tolerable only because it produced her one cherished son, Niall, whose safety she obsesses over. When a stranger comes to the island in the form of a dazzling American named Brigid, the islanders are immediately suspicious of her and go out of their way to make her feel unwelcome. She and Emer strike up a surprising friendship. But tragedy strikes, and Emer betrays Brigid, who is ruthlessly persecuted by the locals. In the end, while the island is begrudgingly evacuated by its people, its inherent magic provides salvation for both women in a fabulous and breathtaking denouement. ungekürzt. Language: English.
