I'm about to attend the sexiest family reunion I've ever been to.... Willie and I...have a bit of a history together.... Living under the same roof as teenagers, in such close proximity, it seems - in hindsight - that it was inevitable for what happened between the two of us to have taken place.... Now, after all this time, I'm about to see him again. The two of us are planning to meet once more at a family reunion. Will he even be there? This suspense is unbearable....

I couldn't believe that I had lost my poor little lamb in this raging storm. As I wandered out into the driving rain and violent wind, the only thing on my mind was the recovery of my lost sheep so that we could both go home and get dry and warm. I never imagined that I would be accused of stealing, by two attractive, burly shepherds. And I never imagined what the two of them could do to my poor, innocent body....

Charles and I had shared many a sordid moment growing up, developing quite an uncomfortable and utterly sexual dynamic, culminating in an intense seaside romp when I was 18, and the two of us, almost immediately, seeing the error of our ways, deeply regretted our decision. It's been nearly seven years since that fateful day. We've both done our best to put the incident out of our minds, the two of us staying far apart from one another, but to no avail.

I had grown tired of a busy life in the city, and traded it in for a quiet cabin in the mountains. Everything seemed like it was finally going right for me. I was a waitress at a local bar, staring at these cute brothers, who came into the bar day after day. I would ask them out tomorrow.... Then, the following day, everything changes when I am asked out by a strange man with black hair and gleaming golden eyes....

When Visual Arts major Bethany Mills snags a summer job as the receptionist for high-end sky diving company FlyJump, she feels like she's stepped into a different universe. But her first day is going relatively smoothly - until she finds herself face to face with billionaire architect and thrill seeker Quinn Huntley. He's tall, dark - and instantly unable to tear his eyes away from FlyJump's new receptionist. Soon, inexperienced Bethany is finding it very hard to ignore their wild chemistry.

When I went to work that day, I was not surprised when I was sent on a coffee run. I was absolutely shocked, however, to meet an incredible looking man at the coffee shop. I felt an instant connection to him, and I was overjoyed when I discovered that he was headed in my direction. I was even more surprised to discover that this man's father was married to my mother. I was crushed. I was certain that this connection could last forever, but now my hopes were shattered.

When I first arrived at my mother's reception, I never imagined that I would meet the most attractive man I had ever seen - dark hair, piercing eyes, and a lazy, confident smile.... There was no way I could resist him. I certainly never imagined that I would be having mind blowing sex with him in the art gallery upstairs. I never, ever imagined that my mother would make an announcement on that very same night that she had gotten married to his father. Of course, I was devastated. I could certainly never be sexually involved with my stepbrother....

A collection of strange and often grisly tales by some of the world's greatest writers, ranging from mildly unsettling to hair-raising.

This triumphant final volume of Spinechillers begins with Doug Bradley's personal guide to the writers and the history of the stories. M. R. James' classic "Number 13" starts off this volume with a mystery about a disappearing and reappearing hotel room, can you guess the room number? Story two is the tale of a cat that can not only talk, but spills secrets that should have been truly left behind. Next, we present one of the most famous stories by H.P. Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu".

A stranger rides across the Kentish countryside when his attention is called to a cottage where violence is being done to an elderly couple. The knight, for such he appears to be, rushes to their aid. Soon after, the strange and prophetic Sir Cesar appears on the scene and foretells of danger ahead. We follow this knight as he encounters an evil landowner; the good and faithful Longpole, son of the elderly couple; the beneficent Duke of Buckingham - or is he a traitor? - and the coquettish Lady Katrine.

The Hundred Years' War: a series of conflicts waged from 1337 to 1453 by the House of Plantagenet, rulers of England, against the House of Valois, rulers of France, over the succession to the French throne. It was a time of intrigue, plot, murder, and romance. Agnes Sorel, 20, became the favorite mistress of the King of France, wielding much influence and earning enemies. Her untimely death at the age of 28, just days after bearing him a fourth child, was blamed on dysentery. In this novel, we follow the trials of Jean Charost, secretary to the Duke of Orleans and brother of the king; and see how his life was entwined with that of the beautiful Agnes.

In this work, set in 17th century France, we follow the adventures of young Louis, heir to the Count of Bigorre, after an encounter with the vindictive Marquis de Saint Brie forces him into exile. The tale wends its way inexorably towards the Battle of Marfee in the 30 years War and the death of the Count of Soissons in a failed coup against the much hated minister, Cardinal de Richelieu. Young love, a brush with the law, card sharks, a deadly avalanche - life is definitely interesting for the young adventurer.

I'm over at my best friend Emily's house and it's snowing outside, so the two of us are cuddled up under a blanket, watching some cheesy lesbian romance movie on a premium cable channel. But as we watch, I begin to have thoughts, feelings about my best friend that have never really surfaced before now. Maybe it's just the proximity, the feeling of her body heat, or maybe it's the fact that I'm feeling a bit neglected by my boyfriend, and am substituting our intimacy for that.

I was on an innocent enough little weekend camping trip with my boyfriend Mark. Or, well, maybe not so innocent, because halfway through the first night the two of us are boning inside our tent, and I'm having my lights pounded out.

Ghosts, ghouls, witches, and other unearthly creatures promise to chill the blood and raise the hair of even the most courageous listener. Volume Two in this series presents more classic horror to enjoy beyond the spooky season. Brought to you by the slightly unhinged Utah Audiobook Narrators.
