    Warning: Explicit Content. An ENF Submissive Female Story of Intense Humiliation: "The Lucky Gyno Clinic Custodian" Series. For a simple janitor, Forrest Franklin is a pretty smart guy. He has just landed himself a new job…at a woman’s health clinic! This dirty-minded fella figures he’ll just keep his eyes open and maybe catch a glimpse of a cute young lady in a johnnie once in a while. That sure would keep him whistling while he works! 
      
    Well, as sweet luck would have it, this hard-working pervert is about to get way more than he bargained for when one of the doctors, the less-than-ethical Marty Thompson, asks for Forrest’s help—right in the exam room! And all Forrest has to do in exchange for that naughty privilege is a bit of handyman work at the doc’s house. Forrest is on cloud nine, helping the doctor out with all kinds of intimate and embarrassing examinations. 
      
    And that embarrassment only multiplies when they discover that Forrest is not just there to watch but to help out by performing many of the same duties as the doctor himself! 
      
    Oh, dear, these nurses are simply beside themselves with embarrassment and intimidation as they endure Forrest’s shaky, unskilled bedside manner in the most demeaning ways imaginable. Well, three of them are. But one sharp-tongued nurse is about to give Forrest a taste of his own medicine. And Forrest is about to pay dearly for his illicit behavior! Little does she know that Forrest—pervert that he is—likes paying dearly! 
      
    If cute, modest, shivering nurses taken to the limits of medical humiliation and degradation are your cup of tea, this audiobook is for you! Discover just how lucky a guy can get when he has fate—and a not-so-ethical doctor—on his side!

    When Tony Va Di—known up and down the Cape as “a devil of a fellow”—returns home after being presumed lost at sea, he arrives not as a ghost, but as a man unchanged: handsome, confident, and certain the world still belongs to him. 
    In a working-class coastal town bound by rumor, desire, and tradition, Va Di’s return reawakens old longings and unsettles lives that have painfully moved on without him. His charm draws people close, but beneath the swagger lies a dangerous emotional recklessness—one that collides with love, responsibility, and the irreversible consequences of human passion. 
    As night falls and private reckonings unfold, Va Di is forced into a confrontation he has never known before: the cost of his own selfishness. What begins as a triumphant homecoming becomes a quiet, devastating reckoning with life, birth, and moral consequence. 
    Written with stark realism and psychological depth, A Devil of a Fellow is a powerful portrait of masculinity, desire, and accountability in early-20th-century coastal New England—where charm can wound as deeply as cruelty, and redemption comes at a price. 
    Narrated by Ken Kowalik, this literary drama brings Wilbur Daniel Steele’s haunting, human story vividly to life.

    "The Profound - Part 2" is the second volume of a narrative spanning many volumes. James Tannot, a young Irishman from Dublin, has no aspirations to become a hero or an enlightened master. His main objective is to enjoy his time as a medical student in Southern France and graduate as a doctor from Marseille University. However, he fails the entrance exam and shortly thereafter meets a peculiar Armenian doctor who introduces him to a secret community of healers called the Cymdeithas. This doctor takes him in and aims to turn him into a healer. Suddenly, James finds himself in a world where magic is as real as a supermarket in the Ordinary World, and where evil is just as real and brutal as the good is humorous and powerful. 
    During his training with the Cymdeithas, James not only encounters his soulmate, Manush, but also discovers that in this course of study, he must be willing to risk his life. 
    Manus Braith's novel introduces readers to a spiritual, magical world where enlightenment is approached in a unique way. Sometimes uproariously funny, at other times profound and contemplative, but always with a captivating drive that enthralls and leaves one longing. Clearly not a book for the dull, legalistic, or those who have given up on dreaming. However, it is undoubtedly a book for readers who have always felt that something is missing but could never quite put their finger on what, where, and how... 
    Fun and excitement are guaranteed. The individual volumes of the story seamlessly blend into each other, weaving a world that refuses to let go easily.

    Howard Phillips Lovecraft is among the greatest American masters of fantasy and the supernatural.  
    Born in 1890, a native of Providence, Rhode Island, his health was uncertain from childhood and he led a sheltered early life. His semi-invalidism enabled him to read omnivorously, and as a shy imaginative child he began to invent what would in his adult life become a whole macabre fantastic world of his own, peopled by creatures out of his own weird imagination.  
    As an adult he was retiring, almost a recluse. Tall, thin and pale, but with bright alert eyes, he was much given to wandering his native city in the dark hours of the night, and he became a devoted student of its antiquities.  
    Although he began to write early he had nothing published until he was in his twenties. He set many of his stories around the imaginary town of Arkham, and invented an entire mythology of his own, its core being the demoniac cult of Cthulhu, based on the lore or legend that the world was at one time inhabited by another race who, in practising black magic, lost their foothold or were expelled, yet live on outside, ever ready to take possession of this earth again. 
    Since his early death in 1937 his stories have continued to attract attention and praise from an ever-growing audience.
