  Astoria Shepry is the billionaire Ice Queen everyone loves to hate. 
  Miller Scott is the up and coming divorce lawyer working for Astoria Shepry's ex wife. 
  Miller Scott walks into the Shepry divorce ready to destroy Astoria Shepry for what she’s done to her ex-wife. The story seems clear. The villain already chosen. 
  But when Miller finally faces Astoria across the table, nothing is as simple as it should be. 
  Cold, controlled, and devastatingly powerful, Astoria gives nothing away — and the evidence doesn’t quite add up. As cracks form in the case, so does something far more dangerous: attraction. 
  Now Miller is trapped between duty and desire, loyalty and truth… and falling for the one woman she’s meant to ruin. 
  Because the closer Miller gets to Astoria, the harder it is to tell where the fight ends… and the obsession begins. 
  In a war of power, reputation, and temptation, one of them is playing dirty. 
  And when the truth finally comes out, it won’t just cost millions— 
  it could cost them everything they swore they’d never feel. 
  Sleeping with the Enemy is a steamy sapphic enemies-to-lovers romance featuring a billionaire Ice Queen, razor-sharp tension, explosive chemistry, and a deeply satisfying Happy Ever After.

  Human History and the Trust...

  You have read the big books about where humans came from, and you still wonder about the simplest puzzle of all. Why do millions of us share streets, money and rules with people we will never meet?
  
  This audiobook argues that our species' real superpower is learning to trust strangers, and it follows that idea through seven leaps. Each chapter opens inside a scene drawn from real archaeology, from a hearth where early humans shared cooked meat to the clay tablets of the first cities and the coins that let strangers trade. Along the way you hear how gossip, farming villages, writing and global networks each widened the circle. The narrator marks clearly what researchers know and what they only suspect, so the bold thesis stays honest.
  
  In six to eight tight hours you come away with a fresh lens on human history and a story you will want to retell at dinner. Press play and step up to the first fire.

  You have seen the films and read the casualty tables, but you still want to know what it felt like to stand in a landing craft as the ramp dropped below the bluffs at Omaha Beach.
  
  This audiobook puts you there. You start at the planners' map tables and inside the German bunkers overlooking the sand, then ride in with the first waves and stay through the long, desperate hours that followed. A small cast of real, documented men from both sides carries the story, so you come to know them by name. The geography is written into the narration, and a companion PDF of maps and people helps you keep your bearings. Each unabridged chapter runs twenty to thirty minutes and centers on courage, quick thinking and the brotherhood that got small groups of Americans off the beach.
  
  By the final chapter you will understand how the beach was won, one improvised push at a time. Press play and step onto the sand.

  Running Amok - Inside the Mind...

  What drives someone to commit the unthinkable?
  Austin 1966. Dunblane 1996. Port Arthur 1996. Utøya 2011. 
  In this deeply insightful account, pre-eminent forensic psychiatrist Paul E. Mullen examines the complex psychology behind lone mass killers. With unflinching clarity, he burrows into the minds of these damaged individuals, drawing on his decades of forensic work assessing mass murderers first-hand. 
  Mullen brings readers into a dark landscape populated with killers who have achieved the ugly fame they had sought – in the US, UK, Australia, Norway and beyond – as well as lesser-known, equally chilling cases. He illuminates troubling patterns that unite the perpetrators, such as obsessive rage, personal grievance, fascination with weapons and yearning for infamy, often culminating in suicide. He also considers the impact of media sensationalism on the killers' grandiose fantasies and proposes steps toward better threat assessment and identification of warning signs. 
  Challenging myths around madness and violence, Mullen reveals the unsettling truth: these killers are not incomprehensible monsters, but profoundly disturbed people shaped by knowable forces that, when properly understood, can be countered effectively. Running Amok does not simply examine tragedy; it is a call to action, urging society to confront the shadows and prevent the next horror.
