Ex-special forces Jacob King is a man who keeps to himself, having learned the hard way that letting people close to you, trusting them, might just get you killed. A lesson he learned when members of his Special Ops team turned dirty while others, men he considered friends, died. He made them pay. He made them hurt. He put them in jail. And so he doesn't trust anyone anymore. He keeps his women hot and fast, his friends few to none, and his clients through the elite Walker Security at a professional distance, but safe. It works for him. Until it doesn't. His newest job should be simple and cut and dry. Jewel Carpenter, the daughter of the CEO of Carpenter Enterprises, is receiving death threats. He's to protect her and find out who is issuing the threats. Simple. Cut and dry. Until it's not. Until the chemistry between him and Jewel is all about love, hate, and sex. But even as he fights the attraction to Jewel and discovers there is more to her than meets the eye, the real threat comes not from the threats she's receiving but from the connection she has to him. Because his past has come full circle, and those men he's made pay for their sins now want him to pay. And what better way than the woman in his bed? ungekürzt. Language: English.

Wall Street Crash Course , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 38min

With a wall that was erected in 1653 by Dutch colonists to protect themselves from the British and the Native Americans, Wall Street came into existence. Even after the wall was taken down in 1699, the street retained its name as Wall Street and became the center of trade in the city. In the late 1790s, Wall Street firms started issuing publicly traded investment. This was also the time when the New York Stock Exchange was established. After World War I, Wall Street and New York City became the most significant financial center of the world. Till this day, Wall Street is home to some of the world's most powerful financial organizations. Top investment banks and brokerages are still found on Wall Street along with the New York Stock Exchange and the American Stock Exchange. As globalization takes place, the term Wall Street has gained global recognition, and it has come to be used for financial institutions around the world. While Wall Street is seen as a symbol of financial power among most people, many Americans associate Wall Street with power politics and elitism. This is probably what gave rise to the Main Street, which is a metonym for small businesses, individual investors, and employees. Comparisons between Wall Street and Main Street are very frequent with reference to the objectives, desires, and motivations of the people on both sides. Where Wall Street is the more popular and awe-inspiring figure, Main Street is more about the simple trader or the lesser-known businesses. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrea Giordani.

Life of Lincoln , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 93min

Abraham Lincoln, "The Great Emancipator" and 16th President of the United States, served from 1861 until his assassination. His life is captured brilliantly by writer John Hugh Bowers. The Life of Lincoln depicts an amazing man's triumphs, insecurities, and crushing defeats with uncanny insight: his early poverty and the ambition that propelled him out of it; the shaping of the man and his political philosophy by youthful exposure to Christianity, slavery, and business; his tempestuous marriage and his fatherly love. Lincoln was elected to the presidency by a twist of fate. As an outspoken opponent of the expansion of slavery in the United States, Lincoln won the Republican Party nomination in 1860 and was elected president later that year. He introduced measures that resulted in the abolition of slavery, issuing his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and promoting the passage of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865. Lincoln had an unswerving devotion to maintaining the union as he oversaw the grim day-to-day conduct of the war as his vision and acumen led the country forward. During his term, he helped preserve the United States by leading the defeat of the secessionist Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. He closely supervised the victorious war effort, especially the selection of top generals, including Ulysses S. Grant. Legacy Audio is proud to present this incisive study of a turning point in our history and a revealing portrait of its pivotal figure, his greatness etched even more clearly in this very touching human story. ungekürzt.

The Itty Bitty Bond Book , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 112min

You might be wondering why anyone would invest in bonds today. Interest rates are near record lows and it seems crazy to invest in them, but then real estate, stocks, and alternate investments all have their own risks. Or maybe you think that bonds are only for rich, old people. But did you know that you can invest in bonds for as little as $25? Did you know that the U.S. bond market is by far the largest financial market in the world, much larger than the stock market? Look out the window of any American town and you'll see a world built on bonds. If you have a mortgage, the bank that issued it was able to keep issuing mortgages because of bond backing and financing. If you went to a public school it was funded by municipal bonds. The roads and bridges we drive on were funded with bonds, and the businesses that we work in finance themselves in part with bonds. Stock market prices are very dependent on rates on Treasury bonds. Bonds are everywhere. Bonds will be a key part of your retirement, even if you don't think you have any, so everyone should have some knowledge of what they are and how they work. The Itty Bitty Bond Book will give you the information you need to understand the basics of how you as an investor can buy savings bonds as well as corporate, municipal and Treasury bonds to hold to maturity as part of a sound financial plan for your future. Bond funds, CDs, and Bond ETFs are also discussed along with the advantages and disadvantages of investing in funds vs. individual bonds. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bruce Van Deventer.
