Summary

In 1984, Grace discovers the epsilon twistor, a device that could destroy a whole continent in a split second. Her calculations are like psychotic episodes and their dangerous consequences are inflamed by her mental instability and her left-wing politics. She initiates a project to develop the device in Japan, but is being pursued by Tony, a pathological killer working for MI5, a man who has hated Grace since their college days. The Epsilon Twistor is a spy thriller, with the fate of the Earth at stake. At a deeper level, it is a study of scientific creativity and psychosis.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    In the city of Anvil, the storm never ends. And neither does the debt. 
    Roa is a Glass-Miner. On the scorched dunes below the city, she risks her life daily in a heavy Faraday suit, harvesting "fulgurites"—petrified lightning glass—to power the spires above. She is grounded, practical, and survives by one rule: never let the static build up. 
    Stellan is a Rod. Chained to the highest spire of the city, he is a living lightning conductor, forced to absorb the fury of the eternal storm to protect the aristocracy. Covered in glowing Lichtenberg scars and radiating enough energy to stop a human heart, he is volatile, magnetic, and lethal. To touch him is to die. 
    When Roa is assigned as his "Insulator"—the only caretaker brave enough to tend to his wounds—she steps into a cage with a living storm. Stellan is starved for a touch he cannot have, and Roa is the only thing standing between him and total meltdown. 
    But as the air between them crackles with 50,000 volts of forbidden tension, they discover a terrifying truth: the storm isn't just weather, and the fulgurites aren't just glass. The city is feeding on something alive, and Stellan is the only one who can hear it screaming. 
    Now, Roa must decide if she is just an insulator, or the "Natural Ground" that can finally set him free. 
    He is the current. She is the ground. Together, they will short-circuit the world.

    Some love stories are written in whispers… 
    She never believed in love at first sight — but lust at first sight? That was real. 
    It happened in the quietest corner of the university library, when their hands reached for the same book. No names. No words. Just a look that stole her breath and set her body on fire. 
    What began as a single, stolen glance turned into a series of secret midnight meetings between the stacks. Passion so intense it demanded silence. Touches so electric they drowned out the world. And an unspoken rule neither of them dared break: never speak, never ask, never tell. 
    But when life tears them apart, their wordless affair ends as suddenly as it began… until, twenty years later, fate hands her the book again — along with a chance to finish the story they started in the dark. 
    Hush is a steamy, unputdownable New Adult college romance filled with secret encounters, forbidden desire, and the kind of chemistry you never forget. Perfect for fans of spicy, slow-burn passion with a twist of fate.

    It’s Lights, Action, Murder as tea maven Theodosia Browning scrambles for clues in this latest installment of the New York Times bestselling series. 
     
    When Theodosia Browning reads the tea leaves on the set of the movie, Dark Fortunes, things go from spooky to worse. Lights are dimmed, the camera rolls, and red hot sparks fly as the film’s director is murdered in a tricky electrical accident. 
     
    Or was it an accident? Though the cast and crew are stunned beyond belief, nobody admits to seeing a thing. And when Theodosia’s friend, Delaine, becomes the prime suspect, Theodosia begins her own shadow investigation. But who among this Hollywood cast and crew had murder on their mind?  
    The screenwriter is a self-centered pot head, the leading actress is trying to wiggle out of her contract, the brand new director seems indifferent, and nobody trusts the slippery-when-dry Hollywood agent. 
     
    Between hosting a Breakfast at Tiffany’s Tea, a Poetry Tea, and trying to launch her own chocolate line, Theodosia doggedly hunts down clues and explores the seemingly haunted Brittlebank Manor where the murder took place. And just when she’s ready to pounce, a Charleston Film Board member is  
    also murdered, throwing everything into total disarray. But this clever killer will go to any lengths to hide his misdeeds as Theodosia soon finds out when she and her tea sommelier, Drayton, get caught up in a dangerous stakeout. 
     
    Includes delicious recipes and tea time tips!
