Beschreibung

Bad choices by overconfident maverick Dani Novak left a fellow marine dead and Dani cooling her heels in jail for five years. Now she's out, with few prospects and fewer friends. Dani's ex-commanding officer, Petra Hawkins, leader of the military contractor the Hawkins Free Company, offers Dani a job on her ship, the Persephone, after a chance meeting on the Red Palace space station. Petra still believes Dani has the potential to regain some of what she lost, still believes she let Dani down before, and now believes she has a duty to help her.
As the lowest ranking crewperson on the Persephone, with her history of a court-martial and jail, Dani faces distrust and suspicion from the company's squad of marines and the ship's officers. But after seeing the squad in action, Dani knows she wants to become a marine again, and Petra agrees to train her. What looks like an easy escort mission gives Dani and Petra lot of time to work together on Dani's fitness, and to wrestle with feelings they've repressed for a long time.

    Hunted by killers. Protected by a monster. 
     
    Lyric Thornwood is on the run, his name stamped on a kill order flooding the dark web. Someone inside the system wants him erased—and Marcus Kessler, the billionaire who twisted Lyric's stolen code into the murderous AI LyricNight, is hunting him like prey. 
     
    Desperate and alone, Lyric follows a ghost contact to a rundown LA garage. What he finds there isn't safety—it's Rio Villareal. Rio doesn't care about code, firewalls, or ghost signals. He knows fists, loyalty, and the kind of violence that keeps his found family alive. When Lyric crashes into his world, Rio should walk away. Instead, he claims the stranger as his responsibility—and maybe something more. 
     
    Rio is a dark, explosive story of found family and recovery scarred by violence. With a hunted hacker, a fighter built for blood, and an AI hell-bent on revenge, survival comes at a cost—and only obsession might be enough to keep them alive. 
     
    Contains mature themes.

    Some treasures are meant to be uncorked. 
    Auction director Austin Gillespie has one chance to save his career: authenticate the legendary “Lee bottles”—a cache of priceless vintage Madeira rumored to be hidden in the cellar of the decaying Georgia mansion known as Ballineen. 
    What he doesn’t expect to find is Jeff Brady. 
    Jeff is a sharp-eyed, stubbornly private PI with his own reasons for prowling Ballineen’s shadowy halls. One intoxicating night between them turns professional curiosity into something far more dangerous. Unfortunately, they want different things. Jeff doesn’t believe in love at first sight—and he certainly doesn’t believe in coming out of the closet. 
    When fraud, deception, and a suspicious death bubble to the surface, Austin discovers that not everything buried in Ballineen’s cellar is what it seems. And trusting Jeff might be the biggest gamble of all. 
    Because in Georgia, secrets age slowly… 
     and love can be as volatile as vintage wine.

    From the stars of the Netflix documentary Life in the Doghouse and founders of one of the most recognized rescue organizations in the world, the poignant story of how Danny and Ron found each other during a time they each needed rescuing, and how they transformed their home into a haven for dogs in need. 
    Danny & Ron’s Dog Rescue is an organization like no other. Because an abused or neglected dog can only recover and learn to trust again when it is in a loving home, Danny and Ron decided to open their doors. Danny and Ron treat each neglected, abused, and misunderstood animal like a member of the family; the dogs eat organic food from their own bowls and are even allowed to sleep in the bed. 
    In this heartwarming book, Danny and Ron chronicle their journey helping more than 13,000 dogs in need, telling the stories of many furry friends that have come into their lives and of their own “rescue” as they came out together late in life. At any given time, there are upwards of 70 dogs lounging, frolicking, recovering, and cuddling under their own roof. For many of these wonderful canines, their house saved them from death. 
    For Danny and Ron, saving and protecting innocent and defenseless canines and finding them forever homes is their passion and life mission. Forever Home is their story—a message of acceptance, kindness, and, of course, love. It is a reminder that hope and joy can arise from the darkest circumstances, and that we all can make the world a better place for ourselves and our animal friends—it starts at home, with patience, empathy, and an open heart. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
