Amantine's Song

Barbara Morgan

Sinossi

Amantine Delamar is a young and ambitious English literature university researcher, in London. On a Sunday morning, just outside Notting Hill tube station, she meets a green-eyed boy who she mistakes for a drifter. While struggling to ignore him, she is irresistibly attracted to his irreverent attitude and his way of provoking her. She goes back looking for him several times and finds out that he is not an ordinary guy, but Peter Wiles, member of a successful band, although completely unknown to her. Amantine is totally alien and disinterested in that showbiz world so far removed from hers, but she can’t resist the passion that Peter rouses in her. So much so, it pushes her to repeatedly betray Geoffrey, her actual boyfriend.
Amantine doesn’t yet know what love is, and she doesn’t even seem to be particularly interested in finding out. The only thing she really wants is to feel free and at the same time reach her professional goals.
Amantine Delamar and Peter Wiles are both aware that theirs is a story without a future, and with no guarantees. They set up rules that should never be broken: “no questions, no claims.”
But love, against every rule, is lurking and the bond between them grows deeper and more intense, such that Amantine and Peter, as well as lovers, become more and more friends, partners, supportive of one another. Unaware of a passion that will bind them for years.

How long is it going to take before one of them breaks the deal? But above all... will they overcome the differences between them, to let love become part of their lives?

Sweet Sting

Lefki Karantoni

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Sam Watson has spent thirty years hiding behind his bees. 
After tragedy stole the love of his life, the gruff beekeeper of Harbor Pointe keeps to himself, content with his hives and the rhythms of the sea. Until Ellie Roberts moves into the cottage down the road. 
Ellie came to the small coast town to start over. With her children grown and a marriage long behind her, she’s determined to find out who she is without labels or expectations. The last thing she planned on was the quiet man with kind eyes and scars he refuses to explain. 
Drawn together by chance and kept circling by choice, Sam and Ellie discover that healing doesn’t come all at once. It hums, like bees in summer, steady and surprising. But when the past threatens to pull Sam back into isolation, Ellie must decide if she’s strong enough to stay—and if Sam is brave enough to open his heart again. 
Sweet Sting is a heartwarming small-town romance of second chances, filled with coastal charm, tender chemistry, and the reminder that it’s never too late to begin again. Perfect for fans of emotional women’s fiction and hopeful, later-in-life love stories.
