  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
  In the western provinces, winter arrives with hunger, death, and a burden no harvest can bear. Bernhard, a provincial lord who works the fields beside his people, is ordered by the Crown to surrender a crushing levy of grain. He knows obedience will leave the villages without enough to survive the cold. 
   
  As the first deaths begin, Bernhard chooses to resist—not with armies or rebellion, but by protecting what little his people have left. With the quiet support of farmers, craftsmen, and those willing to risk the Crown's anger, he hides grain, keeps records, and refuses to let the suffering of the West disappear into distant royal ledgers. 
   
  Beside him stands Farrah, a miller's daughter whose clear-eyed understanding of hardship challenges his growing sense of failure. But as winter takes more lives and the cost of resistance rises, Bernhard must decide how far he is willing to go. 
   
  When the Crown finally demands that he answer for his defiance, Bernhard leaves the valley carrying the names of the dead and a record of what happened. He rides east toward the capital, where powerful men have never known the hunger they imposed on the West. 
   
  Winter's Silence is a quiet, atmospheric tale of hardship, conscience, grief, and resistance, set in a kingdom where the most dangerous act may be refusing to let the suffering of ordinary people be forgotten.

  Sebastiane Bassett's life in the French Foreign Legion is exactly what he needs to be in order to cope with what he is. Things change when a mission in Africa goes horribly wrong, and he loses his mentor and the anchor to his present reality. Unable to cope with another loss in his life, he seeks clarity from his grandfather, Maurice Renault. Understanding what he is and why, and how the Demon within, which overshadows the Renault family with its tyrannical quid pro quo, the answer Maurice has may not be the answer Sebastiane wants. Sebastiane then makes his way to the jungles of South America. His new mission: training, illegal mining and drug interdiction patrols, and guarding one of France's most prized possessions: the Guiana Space Centre. This task becomes more difficult when hubris, greed, and corporate infighting at The Slater Group, Inc., spills over into his world. While trying to save the Spaceport, Sebastiane learns of a secret so powerful it could reshape the world. Blamed by his Commanders for his efforts and the outcome at the Spaceport, Sebastiane and his team are arrested and put on trial. As he awaits his fate, Sebastiane's past and present collide. Now, with two futures laid out before him, he must choose: choose between the life he has, and the one he thought he should have. However, Sebastiane's greatest fear is that the Demon within will come looking for its price no matter what path he chooses...

  Secrets of the Penthouse Suite

  At the center of the story is Sofia La Scala, a successful New York finance executive trying to move forward after a failed relationship. Sofia is not searching for a fairy tale, she's rebuilding, focusing on her life, her career, and her future. Then fate or perhaps fate's mischievous and slightly unhinged cousin decides to introduce her to billionaire Alex Chambers. Their connection is instant, magnetic, and exciting. The chemistry is undeniable and Sofia is drawn into Alex's orbit. After all, who among us wouldn't be at least a little curious when a handsome billionaire appears at exactly the right moment? The universe occasionally has a wonderfully accurate sense of timing.  
  But Alex's and Sofia's sexy new romance doesn't remain safely contained within candlelit dinners and luxurious penthouse encounters. Instead, coincidences start stacking up, like suspiciously convenient alibis. A security breach at Sofia's company. An IT expert with unexpected ties to Alex's world. Slowly, romance begins sharing space with mystery, uncertainty, and danger. Can trust survive suspicion? And what happens when the person you've allowed into your heart might also be connected to the biggest threat facing your future? 
   There is something dangerous about stories that begin with attraction. Readers think they're signing up for romance. They expect chemistry, flirtation, longing glances and maybe a little escapism. Then a clever author quietly locks the door behind them and reveals that beneath the champagne, luxury, and irresistible charm is something far more complicated. That's exactly what makes Secrets of the Penthouse Suite so intriguing. What initially appears to be a glamorous contemporary romance gradually transforms into something much darker, more suspenseful, and infinitely more unpredictable. It's the literary equivalent of being invited to a five-star dinner only to discover halfway through that you're actually sitting in the middle of a high-stakes investigation.

  This audiobook is narrated using advanced digital voice technology for clear, natural-sounding storytelling.
  
   
  
  Cash McCall is a believer in free enterprise, a man not yet forty who buys, sells, and merges companies to make huge profits in a postwar nation of conformist "company men." McCall is an enigma who operates out of an expensive tenth-floor suite in a Philadelphia hotel that he may or may not own. He's single, conducts secret business meetings, and is both envied and hated. No one knows where he came from.
  
   
  
  Grant Austen spent three decades building his plastics company. Now, as he seeks counsel from his banker and lawyer about selling out, he unwittingly triggers a whirlwind of corporate and financial maneuvering he doesn't fully understand. And his daughter, Lory, commits the cardinal sin of falling in love with Cash McCall, the man who's about to buy her father's company out from under him.
  
   
  
  But who is Cash McCall? A ruthless operator or a rugged individualist? Reminiscent of Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, this is a novel about love, the free enterprise system, and one man's refusal to be anyone but himself.
