[Spanish] - Ingenua y atrevida Audiobook

"Este audiolibro está narrado por una voz digital. El sexy Nash Rivers había vuelto a la ciudad y Samantha McCloud se volvió automáticamente loca por él. Pero la inexperta joven no tenía la menor idea de cómo seducir a un hombre como Nash… o al menos eso creía ella. Nash nunca había sentido tanto deseo. Si no tenía cuidado, acabaría camino del altar junto a ella, porque la dulce Samantha no era una mujer con la que tener una aventura de una noche. Pero... ¿era él un hombre para toda la vida?"

[Russian] - Мадам Поммери. Первая леди шампанского брют

"Второй роман серии «Вдовы шампанского» предлагает захватывающую картину мужества, гениальности и непоколебимой воли женщины, опередившей своё время. Богатый историческими деталями и прекрасно прорисованными персонажами, роман погружает читателя во Францию середины XIX века, когда общественные ограничения для женщин, франко-прусская война и доминирование мужчин в сфере производства шампанского проверяют на прочность неукротимую мадам Поммери. Душевная боль, любовь и потери, вдовство и почти неразрешимые проблемами, могли бы заставить мадам Поммери сдаться. Но внутри нее вспыхивает искра, и она создает шампанское брют, не похожее ни на одно другое, – сухое, элегантное, бунтующее против сладких традиций."

Ses recherches la conduisent à deux sœurs, à une horrible trahison et à une extraordinaire manifestation contre les nazis, qui s'est tenue à Berlin au plus fort de la guerre.

Malgré la pluie verglaçante et les bombardements de la RAF, elles ont affronté une mort certaine pour faire ce que si peu d'autres ont osé sous le IIIe Reich : dire non. À travers les fantômes de ces deux mystérieuses sœurs, Emmy découvre une puissante histoire d'amour, de pardon et de courage, qui éclaire même les jours les plus sombres de la Seconde Guerre mondiale."

"How do you solve a murder that hasn't happened yet? Destiny Whip is a former child prodigy, world-renowned enigmatologist and very, very alone. A life filled with loss has made her a recluse, an existence she's content to endure until a letter arrives inviting her to interview for the position of Scruffmore family historian. Not only does an internet search for the name yield almost nothing, it's a role she never applied to in the first place! She decodes the invitation's hidden message with ease, and its promise to reveal her family secrets proves too powerful a draw for the orphaned Destiny, who soon finds herself on Eerie Island. It's a place whose inhabitants are almost as inhospitable as the tempestuous weather. The Scruffmores themselves turn out to be not much better, a snarled mess of secrets and motives connected by their mistrust for one another. Their newly arrived guest proves to be just as much an enigma to them as they are to her. While Destiny slowly works to unravel the mysteries hidden throughout the ominous castle, she struggles to interpret disturbing nightly visions of what is to come. In the midst of cryptic ciphers, hidden passages, and the family's magical line of succession, Destiny is certain of two things: one of the Scruffmores is going to die and she's running out of time to stop it. Interspersed with riddles and puzzles that both Destiny and the reader must solve, A Most Puzzling Murder is a one-of-a-kind mystery that will leave you guessing and gasping until the very last page!
