All She Ever Dreamed

Robin Lee Hatcher

A dream sometimes comes at great cost.

Betrothed in a sensible match, even if the man isn’t the love she’s always imagined, Sarah McNeal relies on the advice her late grandmother gave as well as her own common sense. Dreams of a mysterious European count who rides in and sweeps her off her feet are the stuff of girlhood. And she’s a woman now.  But when her fiancé’s older brother, Jeremiah, returns to Boulder Creek, he unknowingly awakens that discarded dream.

Nine years ago, Jeremiah West lost his wife and newborn son in an epidemic, and he’s been wandering ever since. A survivor of the Spanish-American War, he finally returns to Boulder Creek to settle on the farm he inherited from his father, an inheritance his younger brother still begrudges.

When a blizzard threatens Sarah’s life—and her reputation—Jeremiah is there to rescue her. But the pain of his past remains a stumbling block. Then fate brings Jeremiah and Sarah to a crossroads, and love demands a decision that will change the course of their lives.

Just One Word

Melanie Jacobson

He’s the guy she loves to hate. 
Emma Lindsor is a whipsmart, coffee-addicted, Austen-reading book snob, and she won't apologize for it. Not even when she's forced to appear on a panel of writers with her archnemesis, loudmouth Aidan Maxwell, a wildly successful bestseller thanks to his lowbrow crime thrillers. 
His books outsell hers by millions, but even though he's the hottest thing in bookstores, Emma loathes everything he stands for: pretentious leather jackets, movie star good looks, shallow celebrity. And his books! Shudder. Car chases? Explosions? Blonde bombshell detectives? So gross. 
But Emma is finally on the verge of everything she's ever wanted: all she needs for her new book to become The Next Big Thing is for New York's most respected critic, Luther Van Dijk, to give it his stamp of approval. Maybe then her famous mother will take Emma's writing career seriously. 
One big problem: Aidan Maxwell blocks her at every turn. And the more they fight, the more she realizes that there's more to Aidan than a distractingly handsome face. 
As their paths keep crossing and sparks fly, can they see past their hardwired ideas to star in a love story all their own? 
This laugh-out-loud story is the feel-good romance you've been waiting for. Listen today and fall in love with Emma and Aidan!

Murray Leinster: The Aliens -...

Murray Leinster

The human race was expanding through the galaxy ... and so, they knew, were the Aliens. Who were these beings? Traces of them could be found scattered on planets everywhere, some very recent, but the aliens themselves were never encountered. They were obviously just as advanced technologically as humans and obviously looking for planets to expand to, just like humans. But what would happen when the two races, human and alien met? From history it was obvious that a war should be planned for, two expanding empires cannot tolerate rivals and they would clash and it could happen at any time. Would it be a war to the death? Sadly, that was the most probable outcome. Hundreds of human ships were designed specifically to frantically comb the known universe to gather information about them to prepare for war. Which was inevitable of course.
