   A VOW FOR VENGEANCE 
  Fleeing to the Highlands after her father's murder, fiery Morrigan Drummond has a score to settle with Sir Rupert Burney, the English spymaster responsible for his death. Trained to fight alongside the other rebels determined to break Britain's hold on Scotland, she swears to avenge her father's death—until a chance encounter with a barrister as proud and principled as she is presents her with a hard choice…and a bittersweet temptation.   
   A PLEA FOR PASSION 
   Aidan Grant has never encountered another woman like dangerous beauty Morrigan—and he has the bruises to prove it. Yet she could be the key to defending two innocent men, as well as striking a death blow to the reprehensible Burney. Convincing Morrigan to help him will take time, but Aidan is willing to wait if it means victory over corrupt government forces and freedom for his people…and Morrigan's hand in marriage. Can two warriors committed to a cause stand down long enough to open their hearts to a love fierce enough to last…forever?

  A father searches for his missing son in 1953 Tehran in this brilliantly plotted espionage thriller from the bestselling author of Triple Cross.   London, 1953. Harry Towers is a recently retired, and even more recently widowed, British intelligence officer. But he springs to action when hears that his estranged son Sean has disappeared in Tehran after writing a damning article about the involvement of government officials in the opium trade.   In Tehran, a city on the brink of a historic coup, Harry’s career as a spy soon proves perfect training for this much more personal mission as American, British, Iranian, and French players flit in and out of the scene. But as the first attempt at a coup in the city fails and foreign powers jockey for oil, money, and influence, Sean’s disappearance takes on a more sinister tone. Was he really taken in retribution for his reporting, or is this an attempt to silence a globally significant revelation he was preparing to make?   Or, most terrifying of all, does Sean’s disappearance have nothing to do with him at all? Has Harry’s past caught up to them all?  Praise for Tom Bradby   “[A] cracking, uber-topical spy thriller . . . a plot full of twists and turns.” —Financial Times   “Enthralling and fast-moving . . . packed with details of modern tradecraft in the twilight world of spooks, against a background of politics at its most Machiavellian, it is the stuff headlines are made of.” —Daily Mail   “Bradby masterfully combines textured psychological drama with a rip-roaring plot that boasts several dizzying switchbacks along the way to a genuinely shocking conclusion.” —Booklist (starred review)

  Maybe Esther - A Family Story

  An inventive, unique, and extraordinarily moving literary debut that pieces together the fascinating story of one woman’s family across twentieth-century Russia, Ukraine, Poland, and Germany. 
  Katja Petrowskaja wanted to create a kind of family tree, charting relatives who had scattered across multiple countries and continents. Her idea blossomed into this striking and highly original work of narrative nonfiction, an account of her search for meaning within the stories of her ancestors. 
  In a series of short meditations, Petrowskaja delves into family legends, introducing a remarkable cast of characters: Judas Stern, her great-uncle, who shot a German diplomatic attaché in 1932 and was sentenced to death; her grandfather Semyon, who went underground with a new name during the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, forever splitting their branch of the family from the rest; her grandmother Rosa, who ran an orphanage in the Urals for deaf-mute Jewish children; her Ukrainian grandfather Vasily, who disappeared during World War II and reappeared without explanation forty-one years later—and settled back into the family as if he’d never been gone; and her great-grandmother, whose name may have been Esther, who alone remained in Kiev and was killed by the Nazis. 
  How do you talk about what you can’t know, how do you bring the past to life? To answer this complex question, Petrowskaja visits the scenes of these events, reflecting on a fragmented and traumatized century and bringing to light family figures who threaten to drift into obscurity. A true search for the past reminiscent of Jonathan Safran Foer’s Everything Is Illuminated, Daniel Mendelsohn’s The Lost, and Michael Chabon’s Moonglow, Maybe Esther is a poignant, haunting investigation of the effects of history on one family.

  Martha Pfeiffer, age 19, was one of 844 persons who perished when a ship chartered for the Western Electric annual picnic capsized in Chicago in 1915. Martha's surviving family members never recovered from their grief. The Eastland Disaster has been mostly overlooked in recent years. 
  In 1997, Pearl Pospisil, a retired Chicago writer, and third-generation Pfeiffer, composed a family history and delivered it to her niece, Zara Vrabel, in St. Paul, who was completely unfamiliar with its contents. Pearl had one request: "Do something with this." 
  Zara, also a journalist, was cut off from her family and had no interest in genealogy. However, learning of her great-aunt's death on the Eastland Disaster made Zara's heart sink. 
  Zara's life unravels as she becomes entangled in the plot and realizes that she and her great-aunt shared more than blood. After discovering that the accident was preventable, Zara initially seeks redress. And the release of another Titanic movie poured salt on a fresh wound. So why was the Eastland consigned to oblivion while the Titanic got all the glory? 
  Flower in the River interweaves the past and present of four generations of an Eastern-European immigrant family. It suggests that even an unknown trauma can affect a family for generations.

  هذا العمل ليس مجرد كتاب يُقرأ… 
  بل رسالة تُسمَع، وتُعاش، وتلامس القلب قبل العقل. 
  في هذا الكتاب الصوتي، نقترب من سيرة النبي محمد ﷺ لا بوصفها أحداثًا تاريخية تُروى، بل كحكاية إنسانية كبرى تشكّلت في زمنٍ قاسٍ، وحملت للإنسان معنى الرحمة، والعدل، والكرامة. 
  تأخذك هذه التجربة السمعية في رحلة هادئة وعميقة:من صمت الصحراء قبل البعثة،إلى ولادة النور في عالمٍ مثقل بالظلم،إلى صوت الوحي وهو يلامس قلب إنسانٍ اختاره الله ليحمل أثقل الأمانات،إلى لحظات الصبر، والخذلان، والثبات،حتى تتشكّل ملامح المشروع الأخلاقي الذي غيّر وجه التاريخ. 
  اللغة هنا ليست خطابًا ولا وعظًا مباشرًا، 
  بل سردٌ روحيٌّ متوازن، 
  ممزوج بالتأمل، 
  يُروى بصوتٍ يمنح الكلمات مساحة لتتنفّس، 
  ويترك للسامع وقتًا للتفكير والشعور. 
  هذا الكتاب الصوتي مناسب لمن:يفضل الاستماع العميق أثناء السفر أو العزلة،يبحث عن فهمٍ هادئ للسيرة بعيدًا عن الجدل،يريد أن يسمع السيرة كقصة إنسانية نابضة بالحياة،أو يحتاج إلى جرعة نور وسط ضجيج العالم. 
  إنه ليس فقط استماعًا… 
  بل مرافقة روحية، 
  وصوتٌ يذكّرك بأن النور يبدأ دائمًا من الداخل.
