  Nothing could change him for the better. Save, perhaps, her. 
  Seductive as a deadly sin, Lucien Wrenn, the Duke of Luhst, can tempt any lady into his bed. But his best friend’s little sister—bluestocking scientist Lady Chasity Perrin—is forbidden fruit. And he’s spent a lifetime aching to take a bite. 
  Chastity has always loved Lucien but the thoughtful boy she cherished grew into a careless rogue. Content with her lot as a spinster, she fights to advance her medical research in a world that denies women's place in science. 
  They can never be together until they clash in a heated argument and make a scandalous wager… During a month-long house party, both must do the impossible: sinful Lucien must remain celibate and wallflower Chastity must secure a marriage proposal. 
  When every eligible bachelor begins to compete for made-over Chastity, Lucien burns to claim her as his own. 
  As summer storm traps them, no vow of friendship can hold him back from breaking every rule to possess her. 
  As they grow closer -- body and soul -- his touch unravels her and she begins to crave something very dangerous: him. For the first time, someone sees straight to his wounded soul, and makes him want to be worthy of the only woman he loved his whole life. 
  But when Chastity's older brother learns his sister has been compromised, all hell breaks loose. 
  Read by the award-winning narrator, Audie finalist, and Earphones for excellence in narration winner, Shane East, and Justine Eyre, a classically trained actor and narrator has been honored to receive a coveted Audie Award and multiple AudioFile Earphones Awards.

  Joe believes the old regulator, "Long-Shot" Hunter Drago, who did twelve years' hard time because of Mannion, has moved to the town of Del Norte, in the Colorado Territory to kill him. But nearly everyone else in town believes that he merely moved there to take over the Three-Legged Dog Saloon and to begin a new, peaceful life. 
   
   
   
  Mannion, who doesn't believe in coincidences but does know the nature of "Long Shot's" black heart, doesn't buy a word of it. 
   
   
   
  The rest of the town, including his lover, Jane Ford, thinks Mannion's just being his old, stubborn, bloody self—especially when he catches Drago palling around with his daughter, Evangeline, and beats the old killer half to death on Del Norte's main street for all to see. 
   
   
   
  Bloody Joe has finally gone too far. The town's powers-that-be believe it's time for Joe to go. 
   
   
   
  As the game of cat and mouse continues and Mannion finds himself dodging a veritable lead storm nearly everywhere he goes, he finally finds himself in a bloody showdown on the stone mountain called Burial Rock, where he finds that not only his own life hangs in the balance but Jane's life, as well. 
   
   
   
  He's going to have to move fast and shoot straight to escape a blood bath . . .

  The entire Chinese city of Tientsin is under siege from within — the streets filled with rioting, arson, mass looting and murder. And all because the city's sacred idol, the Green God, has gone missing. Lieutenant Bill Mahone of Naval Intelligence is on a mission to find it. But he's walking a razor's edge — between worship and warfare, between a touch of heaven and a taste of bloody hell. What does a near-death experience sound like? Find out, as the audio version of The Green God gives new meaning to the word escapism — escape from a crazed mob, escape from the clutches of a torturer, escape from an early grave.

  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.

  When the unnamed British agent in this story is sent to take custody of a defecting Russian scientist, his mission takes him to the Arab world and the Sahara desert as he is consistently foiled by a US Secret Service high-up. Loyalty is tested and never certain, as it becomes unclear as the novel develops who is actually chasing whom, and where the threat is coming from.

  Charlotte Brontë, one of the best known and widely read novelists of the nineteenth century, surely needs no introduction, her Gothic masterpiece Jane Eyre appearing on curricula and book lovers' shelves alike; but few have encountered her unfinished novels and shorter works.
  
  
  The final words to flow from Charlotte Brontë's pen, and published shortly after her death, Emma is a compelling and powerful short work that stands on its own two feet, and leaves the reader to dream where the great writer was headed to next.
