Rena is a survivor…and she wants the very tall, big, brutally sexy cyborg who doesn’t like to share anything that belongs to him. Steel is beyond irritated when he is maneuvered into ownership of a fragile human female. She’s not nearly big enough to handle his size or strength, yet she’s determined to get him into bed - into her.

The Ring , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 448min
After a youth spent trapped in space exile, Jeff Font returned to Earth to seek vengeance against the planetary mogul who had framed and destroyed his family. Jeff's plans backfired: He was captured, drugged, rammed through a computerized court system, convicted... and ringed. The ring. The ultimate high-tech civics lesson. A surgically implanted electronic monitor that automatically caused unendurable agony when a convict strayed from righteousness. A ringer would do no evil, think no evil, see or hear evil robocops - nor defend himself or others from insult or injury. And in a corrupt world of licensed sin and satanic parties, floral estates, and city-size slums, ringers were the ultimate victims. But the ring's data banks had not factored in Jeff Font's strength, courage, and his will to fight society, the world, and the agony of the ring to unravel the plot that entrapped him - and see justice done. ungekürzt.

Interchangeable Conflict , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 172min
James Barnett ran a top secret mission that was a complete success. He was a scientific genius who also happened to be a high government official. As such, he developed a formula that would change warfare as we know it. However, his development backfired because the government was afraid his creation would make him a hot commodity for other nations to kidnap. Barnett had no intention of giving away his formula, but the government felt they should cut their losses rather than take a chance of Barnett getting kidnapped and tortured, which would have forced him to divulge his very valuable information about the formula to the nation’s enemies. Barnett had been friends with FBI Agent Richard Meeks for more than three decades, and Meeks did everything in his power to help Barnett. They connected with a new friend, Sergeant Christian Waters, who helped them in their efforts to protect Barnett. As time went by, however, they found themselves on a roller coaster ride of events that challenged the outcome of their faith. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Matthew Hall.

The Wolf and the Highlander: Highland Wishes Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 666min
Anya's been a bad girl. A vindictive plot against one of her clansmen backfired, resulting in her grave injury. Scarred and crippled, she finds nothing lovely about herself, and doesn't expect anyone else to either. But when a magical wishing box sends her to another dimension, she becomes the most valuable prize imaginable. While hunting a rare marbled boar, Riggs, a trapper in Marann's western forest, hears a strange cry. Distracted from the hunt, he loses the sow but finds instead something more valuable than a whole cart packed with marbled boar skins. A woman. She is delicate, and her ears are curiously rounded. She is not wolfkind. Maybe she is the miracle his people have been hoping for. Riggs must bring Anya to King Magnus, because breeding rights belong first and foremost to His Majesty, who needs an heir. But the female calls to a primal part of him. He longs to keep her in secret and take her as his mate. But if he gives in to the temptation, he could single handedly bring about the end of civilization. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Laughing at a Military Enlistment: The Hilarity Between the Pride , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 110min
There are scads of books written about military leadership, or act of heroism so great they are deserving of their own manuscript. This is not one of those books. This book is about the moments that made us laugh along the way. These are the times that built morale, helped us cope, and otherwise helped make the in between times bearable. Have you ever sent a brand new private to the supply sergeant looking for dehydrated water, or a personalized body bag? We have. Have you ever planned a prank that backfired? We have. Have you ever put together a prank that took advanced planning, time, trouble, and precision to execute? When that prank took place, did people have to leave the room because they were laughing too hard? These are the stories of what happens when guys spend too much time together and start to act like, well, guys. These are the times we pranked someone with ether (the anesthetic), the times we made the new private do things just to see if he would. We hope you enjoy listening to them as much as we enjoyed living them. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Loving.
