Questing

Charles Payseur

Summary

Lancelot has been playing the Game for a long time. When you're an immortal soul reborn again and again because you drank from the Holy Grail, there isn't much else to do than galivant around the globe, accomplishing quests for points and competing against your fellow immortals. For Lancelot it's life, and yet after centuries he finds himself distracted by a different thrill -- the one he gets from his greatest rival, Palomides.
So when Palomides approaches him with a new quest, Lancelot jumps at the opportunity, even if it takes him to the edge of nowhere, to the deep woods of Wisconsin, chasing after a myth. When the myth turns out to be deadly real, will Lancelot get swept up in the battle and zeal of questing, of playing the Game, or will he find that there's a different way he'd much rather score?

Austin

Con Riley

Can Austin learn to love the opposite who attracts him? 
 
 
 
Austin Russell doesn't belong at a small school like Glynn Harber. He's meant to be a highflyer in finance, not a book-keeping bursar. Now there's only one renovation project left to budget, it's time he toughened his soft heart and got back to climbing the corporate ladder. 
 
 
 
The truth is he'd rather climb Maisie Dymond's father. 
 
 
 
That urge doesn't add up—Dom Dymond is his polar opposite—but when a near-miss brings them together, Austin discovers there's more below his laid-back surface, especially as Dom's determined to win the bid for the school's last rebuilding project. 
 
 
 
Working in proximity means Austin can't deny that they're opposites who don't only attract, they combust whenever they're close. Telling himself it's only a fling doesn't ring true when Dom opens up about what keeps him in Cornwall. He's there to heal his fractured family, and he wants Austin as part of it. 
 
 
 
That openness makes Austin want to share too, but will Dom still feel the same attraction once he knows what drives Austin to keep climbing his ladder?

Faith's Corner

Nerea Morte

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. As a bookstore owner, Faith Conner has created a sanctuary where every volume has its assigned place and emotions remain as carefully filed away as her first editions. After a heartbreak that nearly destroyed her, Faith has chosen caution as her religion and distance as her shield. 
Ruby Carter is chaos, light, and unfiltered authenticity. As a rising star in the BookTube world, she transforms each book into a shared experience and every review into an invitation to intimacy. 
Her proposal for a professional collaboration is commercially irresistible, but personally terrifying for Faith, who sees in Ruby the danger of everything she has avoided: spontaneity, exposure, and the devastating possibility of feeling again. 
For Ruby, Faith represents the enigma she yearns to decipher; for Faith, Ruby is the temptation to abandon a life script that has become too rigid. What neither expects is that their differences, instead of separating them, create a unique language that only they understand. 
Sometimes, the deepest loves begin with a literary recommendation and the courage to turn to the next page.
