  A compelling and emotional novel that asks: What do you owe to a child you let go?
  This audiobook is narrated using advanced digital voice technology for clear, natural-sounding storytelling.
  
  A widow in her sixties, Geraldine is financially secure, happy, and about to marry her second husband, William. She's come a long way from being a motherless fourteen-year-old giving a baby up for adoption—but over the decades, she's made a special effort to support vulnerable girls as a way of compensating for her lingering guilt.
  
  Miles away in London, Beth has endured a painful divorce and the death of her adoptive mother—and now faces kidney disease. A transplant means waiting indefinitely for a stranger to die . . . unless someone volunteers as a living donor. She will not consider putting her three children at risk or burdening them with the truth, but with both her adoptive parents gone, could the time be right to track down the birth parents she knows nothing about?
  
  When biological mother and daughter finally meet, the emotions that accompany the reunion are complicated further by haunting questions: Is Beth driven by selfishness as much as—or more than—a desire to connect? Will Geraldine's urge to help Beth by being tested as a potential donor jeopardize her new life with William? What does she owe, and to whom?
  
  Thought-provoking and absorbing, this novel explores the meaning of family, the nature of guilt and regret, and the conflicts raised by the miracles of modern medicine.
  
  This audiobook features a digitally synthesized voice, combining advanced technology with natural speech patterns for a seamless listening experience.

  The Italian by Ann Radcliffe is a masterful Gothic novel that weaves suspense, romance, and psychological tension into a richly atmospheric tale set in 18th-century Italy. Renowned for her ability to evoke terror through suggestion rather than explicit horror, Radcliffe creates a haunting narrative filled with mystery, intrigue, and emotional depth.
  
  At the center of the story is a young nobleman whose love for a beautiful and virtuous woman is threatened by powerful forces determined to keep them apart. As their relationship unfolds, they are drawn into a web of secrets, persecution, and hidden identities. Their struggle against oppression and manipulation becomes a gripping journey marked by danger, uncertainty, and resilience.
  
  One of the novel's most compelling figures is a sinister and enigmatic clergyman whose influence casts a dark shadow over the events. His presence introduces an element of psychological menace, heightening the tension and deepening the sense of unease that permeates the story.
  
  Radcliffe's vivid descriptions of shadowy landscapes, ancient ruins, and secluded settings create an immersive Gothic atmosphere that enhances the emotional intensity of the narrative. At the same time, the novel explores themes of virtue, fear, power, and the conflict between reason and superstition.
  
  Blending romance with suspense and moral reflection, The Italian stands as a defining work of Gothic fiction. Ann Radcliffe's elegant prose and skillful storytelling invite readers into a world where appearances deceive, danger lurks beneath the surface, and courage is tested in the face of overwhelming darkness.

  Hide and Seek - Trapped on a...

  On the barren, irregular surface of Phobos, a lone intelligence operative known as K.15 faces a seemingly impossible situation. A powerful cruiser is bearing down on him with guided missiles, heavy weapons, and a crew ready to end his mission—and his life—before help can arrive. Armed with nothing but a spacesuit, a small packet of critical intelligence, and the unpredictable landscape of Mars’ inner moon, he must turn physics, terrain, and timing into his greatest allies. What follows is a smart, fast, and tension-filled contest of maneuvering and misdirection as K.15 attempts to survive long enough for rescue to reach him. 
  “Hide and Seek” showcases Arthur C. Clarke’s skill at building suspense through science, logic, and the fundamental limitations of spacecraft and human endurance. Clarke turns the simplest concepts—gravity, momentum, and line-of-sight—into the building blocks of a gripping escape-and-evade drama. It’s a reminder that in space, intelligence can be just as decisive as firepower. 
  Arthur C. Clarke (1917–2008) was one of the most influential voices in 20th-century science fiction. A futurist, inventor, and storyteller, he combined scientific accuracy with imaginative leaps that shaped the genre for generations. His predictions about communication satellites, space travel, and technologies we now take for granted earned him global recognition. Clarke authored classics such as Childhood’s End, Rendezvous with Rama, and 2001: A Space Odyssey, each expanding the boundaries of speculative fiction. His work continues to inspire scientists, dreamers, and readers who crave stories rooted in wonder and possibility.

A family who loves him. But he’s about to throw it all away. Logan Tate’s name is dominating the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Instead of goals and assists, the talented young defenseman has been racking up fights and suspensions. I work with athletes who are struggling, but Logan’s different. He’s not just going to blow his season, but his entire career. And now he can’t return to the ice until he deals with his issues, but the stubborn man won’t let anyone get close enough to help. Which is why I packed up and followed him to his family’s property in the remote mountains of Colorado. He can’t avoid me here. The only problem? I can’t avoid him either. He’s chopping wood and building fires, rescuing my car from snowy ditches, and inviting me to Sunday dinners with his loud extended family. He’s a whole lot of man, but beneath all those hard edges is an unexpected tenderness. Tempted or not, I have to stay out of his bed and get him back to the ice...no matter how difficult that might be. This is a sizzling new romance in the Looking to Score series. Each book can be listened to as a stand-alone.
