  In the untamed dunes of the North Sea island of Sylt, sled dog Athos cherishes his wild escapades—particularly as winter's chill approaches and the ebbing tourist influx grants him the freedom to explore undisturbed.

  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.

  Before Sherlock Holmes could solve the murder in London, a tragic tale of survival, love, and ruthless betrayal unfolded in the deadly deserts of the American West. 
  In the arid wilderness of the Great Alkali Plain, John Ferrier and his adopted daughter Lucy face certain death until they are rescued by a massive caravan of Mormon pioneers. Brought to the newly founded Salt Lake City, they build a prosperous life—until the shadowy, iron-fisted dictates of a secret society demand Lucy's hand in a forced marriage. When the fierce, free-spirited hunter Jefferson Hope attempts to rescue the woman he loves, he triggers a brutal cat-and-mouse chase across the rocky ravines of Utah. 
  What begins as a desperate fight for freedom transforms into an obsessive, decades-long quest for retribution. Tracking his enemies across continents, a broken man will stop at nothing to enact his own devastating justice, leading straight into the hands of a consulting detective named Sherlock Holmes. 
  Why you will love this: Blending a sweeping Historical Mystery / Western aesthetic with the birth of detective fiction, this narrative shines a light on tropes of relentless revenge, pioneer survival, and hidden cults. It masterfully bridges the gap between a gritty western frontier thriller and an atmospheric Victorian police procedural. 
  About the Author: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish physician and writer who forever changed the literary landscape by creating Sherlock Holmes. His brilliant fusion of rigorous logical deduction and pulse-pounding adventure established the foundation for the modern detective genre.
