  Has love found him everlastingly too late? 
  "Judith Hale Everett is one of the most original authors in the Regency genre." —Mary Kingswood (author of the Silver Linings series) 
  As childhood playmates, Geoffrey Mantell and Emily Chandry forge a lifelong bond building a secret world where they can escape their unloving families. Then Geoffrey is sent away to school and goes into the army, and does not see Emily again until they are both grown. The disparity in their situations is then patently clear, and Captain Mantell cannot think of Miss Chandry as anything but a dear friend. He is called back to his regiment with few regrets. 
  Only after the horrors of Waterloo does Geoffrey comprehend all that Emily means to him, and he vows to confess his love at his earliest opportunity. But by the time he is healed enough to write to her, she does not answer. Has his realization come too late, or has something dreadful occurred? Geoffrey cannot rest until he discovers what has become of Emily, for his greatest battle will be for a second chance at love.

   A VOW FOR VENGEANCE 
  Fleeing to the Highlands after her father's murder, fiery Morrigan Drummond has a score to settle with Sir Rupert Burney, the English spymaster responsible for his death. Trained to fight alongside the other rebels determined to break Britain's hold on Scotland, she swears to avenge her father's death—until a chance encounter with a barrister as proud and principled as she is presents her with a hard choice…and a bittersweet temptation.   
   A PLEA FOR PASSION 
   Aidan Grant has never encountered another woman like dangerous beauty Morrigan—and he has the bruises to prove it. Yet she could be the key to defending two innocent men, as well as striking a death blow to the reprehensible Burney. Convincing Morrigan to help him will take time, but Aidan is willing to wait if it means victory over corrupt government forces and freedom for his people…and Morrigan's hand in marriage. Can two warriors committed to a cause stand down long enough to open their hearts to a love fierce enough to last…forever?

  Nick Turnhouse is now a senior captain, some two thirds of the way up the List, perhaps as little as five years short of automatic promotion to Rear Admiral. As such, he must accept more responsibility, and he will be expected to offer more than blind obedience to his orders. It is time to replace Bloody Nick with Sir Nicholas. 
   
   
   
  Bonaparte is committing the error of trying to place his brother on the throne of Spain, currently occupied by a madman and his erratic queen. 
   
   
   
  The Spanish are divided into at least four different factions nationally, and a dozen more in each separate province. 
   
   
   
  Sir Nicholas sails out to the Mediterranean to offer assistance to those Spaniards who will serve British interests best. 
   
   
   
  It is not a straightforward task.

  Children of the Sun is the first installment of its self-titled trilogy. This recording is the first portion of the book, and more episodic installments will follow in the near future.  
  In a reimagined precolonial Africa, a powerful king's nephew comes home to find his nation on the brink of war. Unsure of his own next move, he joins his royal warrior cousins on their westward march to stop an invasion. Though he has no plans to fight, other problems find him on the road, pushing him toward an instability of his own. Back in the kingdom, a more distant relative is called upon to keep the peace in a land missing most of its strength. As the overt invasion looms above, she leads the king's defense against an enemy they cannot see, gathering strength right there at home. 
  All the while, old wounds inside the family and out are brought to the surface, threatening to unravel all the players involved. The demons of the past converge with the troubles of the present, giving way to an uncertain future for them all.

  The Decameron

  Giovanni Boccaccio

  Set against the shadow of the Black Plague, The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio is a radiant tapestry of love, wit, tragedy, and the triumph of the human spirit. When Florence is ravaged by pestilence, ten young nobles — seven women and three men — flee to a countryside villa to escape the horrors of the city. Over ten days, they pass the time by telling one hundred stories: tales of romance and folly, devotion and deception, virtue and vice. 
  From the poetic tragedy of “Griselda” to the romantic daring of “Cymon and Iphigenia” and the moral allegory of “The Three Rings,” Boccaccio captures the full spectrum of human experience — earthy, wise, and profoundly moving. 
  Narrated with grace and warmth by Mary Ellin Kurtz, this timeless masterpiece invites listeners into a world where storytelling itself becomes an act of survival — and of joy.
