Retired Navy SEAL Chris Cassidy knows the bro code: no messing around with teammates' sisters. But Chris never was one for following rules. Besides, Rick's gorgeous sister, Darci, is worth breaking a few rules for. Darci Mann is tired of being alone. Since Zane, the bad boy SEAL she formerly had a crush on, fell in love with someone else, and her best friend, Ali, found her own happy ending, Darci's feeling her single status extra keenly. Though she suspects her brother's buddy Chris would be willing to change that...if she decided to let him. When a routine assignment turns deadly and Chris switches from charming joker to trained killer, willing to kill or die to protect her, Darci might have to reevaluate her feelings about the perpetual bachelor. ungekürzt.

A Single Hurt Color , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 49min
This audiobook is a collection of new poems by Andrew Demcak. "Andrew Demcak's new book, A Single Hurt Color, reminds me of the broken snow globe at the beginning of Citizen Kane. Demcak renders a view of the world through the filter of a shard with a piercing command of language, and an ear keenly tuned to the music of each word." (J.P. Dancing Bear, editor, The American Poetry Journal) "A Single Hurt Color takes us on winding, asymmetrical paths of loss, love, and grace. Demcak knows when language must be talky and when it must be tight, and, as a result, these poems unfold in an expansive "pageant of tongues." He revels in sound, in rhythm, in all that makes the world simultaneously wobbly and secure." (Tony Trigilio, poet) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Edwards.

My Southern Journey: True Stories from the Heart of the South , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 523min
From celebrated New York Times best-selling author and winner of the Pulitzer Prize Rick Bragg comes a poignant and wryly funny collection of essays on life in the South. Keenly observed and written with his insightful and deadpan sense of humor, Bragg explores enduring Southern truths about home, place, spirit, table, and the regions' varied geographies, including his native Alabama, Cajun country, and the Gulf Coast. Everything is explored, from regional obsessions with college football and fishing to mayonnaise and spoonbread to the simple beauty of a fish on the hook. Collected from over a decade of his writing, with many never-before-published essays written specifically for this edition, My Southern Journey is an entertaining and engaging listen, especially for Southerners (or Southerners at heart) and anyone who appreciates great writing. ungekürzt.

Steps out of Time: One Woman's Journey on the Camino , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 743min
Years ago, an overachieving and harried young mother accidentally flushed her gold watch down the toilet. Time passed, but the image of the lost watch continued to haunt her, a symbol of an overcommitted life. Two decades later, propelled by a series of curious coincidences, she leaves behind her busy professional life, her cell phone, and her family to escape the tyranny of time and walk 500 miles across Northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela. Steps out of Time brings the mysterious and wonderful world of the Camino to life with its tales of serendipitous encounters, new friends made (and one tragically lost), stunning natural beauty, and unforgettable food. By the end of her journey, an exhausted and exhilarated Katharine Soper is keenly aware she has completed much more than a monthlong walk. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Donna Postel.

The Memory of Running , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 797min
Award-winning actor and playwright Ron McLarty is well known for his audiobook performances. What fewer people realize is that he's also an accomplished author. In this wonderfully quirky novel, available exclusively as an audiobook, McLarty takes readers on a quest to find hope and redemption with an unlikely hero. Smithson Ide is 43 years old and weighs 279 pounds when his parents die in an accident. Lost in memories of childhood, Smithson uncovers his old Raleigh bicycle in the garage and begins a cross-country journey to find his beautiful, but tragically psychotic sister. Keenly aware of how ridiculous he must appear, Smithson nonetheless perseveres through a journey that is hilarious and horrifying. It is a trip, he soon realizes, that might provide his last chance to become the person he has always wanted to be. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ron McLarty.

Wake Up to a Happier Life: Finding Joy in the Work You Do Every Day , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 273min
It's hard to separate work from life, maybe because work is part of everything we do, both at home and in the workplace. But one thing is certain - when we improve the quality of our work, we improve the quality of our lives. Having held 18 different jobs in various fields, author Amanda Dickson is keenly aware that not all work is equally enjoyable. In the trademark enthusiastic style that has made her a top-ranked radio personality and sought-after speaker, she offers practical suggestions for finding joy in whatever work you do. Included are ways to identify the work you were born to do and basic changes in attitude that will help you deal with less-than-ideal working conditions. Amanda's fresh outlook and laugh-out-loud humor will change the way you think about work... and life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Amanda Dickson.

The Least Likely Bride , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 852min, (USK 18)
Jane Feather, a New York Times best-selling author, receives many awards and international acclaim for her historical romances. There are now over four million copies of her books in print. The Least Likely Bride, filled with colorful heroes and villains, is set against the tumultuous backdrop of England in 1648. Lady Olivia Granville is a lovely, headstrong scholar. Anthony Caxton is a pirate. However he, too, is keenly intelligent and independent. When they meet on the high seas, their sparks of passion are as powerful as the wind. But those sparks soon become part of a larger flame--one that burns in the service of the King. The characters of The Least Likely Bride are thoroughly entertaining, and political intrigue adds additional drama to the tempestuous affair between lady and pirate. The sparking wit and subtle humor are highlighted through Jenny Sterlin’s charming narration. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jenny Sterlin.

Marie Curie: Honesty in Science , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 53min
Professional biographer Carl Rollyson has pioneered a new kind of biography for children and adults alike. His narrative of Marie Curie's life is rendered in simple, precise prose. Each chapter is designed to provoke further discussion and research into the life and career of one of the century's greatest scientists and - as Rollyson shows - one of the most important figures in human history. At a time when the ethics of science and of scientists have been called into question, Rollyson's searching examination of Madame Curie's methods and morality makes this a sharply focused and challenging biography. Marie Curie emerges from this account as a woman of great integrity and self-discipline, acutely conscious of her historic role, keenly devoted to protecting her private life, and yet willing to shape her personality to the public roles demanded of her. ungekürzt.

Delta Wedding: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 720min
Set on the Mississippi Delta in 1923, this story captures the mind and manners of the Fairchilds, a large aristocratic family, self-contained and elusive as the wind. The vagaries of the Fairchilds are keenly observed, and sometimes harshly judged, by nine-year-old Laura McRaven, a Fairchild cousin who takes The Yellow Dog train to the Delta for Dabney Fairchild’s wedding. An only child whose mother has just died, Laura is resentful of her boisterous, careless cousins, and desperate for their acceptance. As the hour moves closer and closer to wedding day, Laura arrives at a more subtle understanding of both the Fairchilds and herself. Born in 1909 in Jackson, Mississippi, Eudora Welty is one of the South’s finest novelists. She won a Pulitzer in 1972 for The Optimist’s Daughter. Delta Wedding is her best known work. ungekürzt.

Vitus Escarpe 29 CRX Mountain Bike (2022) - Full Suspension Mountainbikes
The Escarpe 29 CRX features an elegant full-carbon frame that's adorned with Fox Float Factory Kashima-coated suspension front and rear, giving you a buttery-smooth ride with exceptional agility, control and traction. It's armed with a smooth-shifting Shimano XT M8100 12-Speed groupset that includes a Shimano XT chainset, a 10-51 Tooth wide-range cassette and powerful XT hydraulic disc brakes. It also rolls upon a Tubeless Ready Nukeproof Horizon V2 wheelset wrapped in Tubeless Ready 3C MaxxTerra compound Maxxis tyres. This full-suspension race bike offers outstanding composure and prowess in all-weather and all-terrain conditions, making it the ideal journey companion or race-day partner for riding anywhere on Earth. Strong and Lightweight Full-Suspension Trail Bike Dappled forest light on warm dusty trails. The soundtrack of tyres rushing through berms, nimbly threading a rock garden and the buzz of a happy freewheel. Eyes trained on the way ahead. You’re focused, but it’s easy. On the full-carbon Vitus Escarpe 29 CRX, there are no distractions. All trust and total control. But life isn’t a photoshoot, so let’s get real here. Swap in off-camber, hectic off-piste and washed-out turns, slick roots and “that climb” back to the trailhead. It doesn’t matter. The Escarpe is poised and planted - perfectly balanced to flow with you no matter where the trail goes. You and the bike are singing from the same hymn sheet. You want a bike that inspires confidence on technical descents and keeps you grinning for more, not gritting your teeth. You want a bike that holds speed and drives keenly into the climbs, keeping your legs fresh for one more run. You want to keep the weight down and the performance high. This is it. Whether braking hard, pushing more power or negotiating a twisty descent, your centre of gravity is rarely constant, so key to the whole system is efficiency. To deal with the dynamic nature of trail riding, the Escarpe stays predictable and consistent so that you can stay loose. No white knuckles here. Flip-Chip Adjustable Suspension Platform The suspension kinematics have been enhanced compared to the previous platform, further countering the effects of pedal-bob and reducing the harshness of small bumps and trail vibrations that drain your energy and kill speed. Smoother is faster for longer. With an adjustable flip-chip, that can raise the bottom bracket by 6mm and increase the head angle, you can also customise the setup to best suit how and where you ride. Vitus has ensured that geometry and performance are optimised throughout the size range, so whether you are S or XL, there’s no compromise on how this bike feels. When riding trails there’s enough to think about without having to consider how the bike is going to respond to the next turn or obstacle. You should just know. It should do what you need it to. No backchat and no fight. On the Escarpe you don’t have to compensate or compromise. You don’t have to adjust your style. Just ride. Just concentrate on having fun.
