Best Audiobooks Read By Grover Gardner

Mistakes? I’ve made plenty. The biggest one? Falling head over heels for Brian Lockwood—my brother’s best friend and the captain of the school’s basketball team. For years, I lived in the shadow of my one wish: for him to see me as more than just Simon’s little sister. But how could he, with Lyla, his perfect girlfriend, glued to his side? Then everything changed. Lyla cheated, Brian’s heart shattered, and he was desperate for a distraction. That’s when he came to me with a deal—a no-strings-attached arrangement where we could give each other exactly what we wanted. I saw my chance. I thought I could make him fall in love with me. But I didn’t account for how messy things could get—how keeping it all a secret from Simon would twist everything. And when Brian crossed a line I couldn’t forgive, I knew it was time to let go of my high school crush. Fast forward three years. I’m over him. Or so I tell myself. Except now Brian’s back, no longer the heartbroken boy I knew but a leading basketball star with one goal: to win me over. I swore I wouldn’t fall for him again.

"Don't deny it. You want it." Killian said to me, stroking the nape of my neck with his thumb. His face is so close to mine and I forgot to breathe. I gasped when he pushed my dress higher, revealing my thighs to him and let his hands rest between my thighs. I tilted my head to the side to avoid his lustful gaze, penetrating deep into my soul. "Your body craves it." He said, firing kisses down my neck till his lips touched my hard, naked nipples. That sent shivers down my spine. My body erupted with goosebumps and I exhaled sharply. I want to speak, but I can't. He has that much effect on me. His tongue played with my nipples and I mewled. That felt so good. "You want me as much as I want you." He whispered with his lips pressed on my skin. I shouldn't be doing this. I know I should stay away from this man but how can I when he invades my thoughts daily? When he's the only one my body wants. It's frustrating because no matter how hard I try, I can't say no to him. And I am this close to making the worst mistake of my life. I swallowed, trying to fathom the words out.His fingers brushed my core and I jerked forward, pressing my body on his. "I don't want you." "You're lying." He said, playing with the strap of my thong with a lazy finger. My eyes rolled back in my socket with pleasure. I am lying but he's making it so hard. "We shouldn't be doing this, Killian." Killian? Do I really have the right to call him that? "Give me one reason why and I won't touch you." "Because you're my best friend's Fiance."

In my past life, my mate Marcus ran off to the forest to make love with my best friend Scarlett, who was eight-month pregnant. That’s when they'd be surrounded by a pack of rogue wolves. Scarlett, heavy with child, started bleeding heavily. Both of them desperately called for the Border Guard. As the Chief Warrior, I had risked everything to fight those rogue wolves. But Scarlett still died along with her unborn pup. My mate Marcus led others to accuse me of using my position for personal revenge. He personally severed both my hands with a silver blade. "A warrior without morals like you deserves to burn in hell!" he snarled. But I remembered clearly—when I drove off the rogues and got the pack healer to Scarlett, she barely had a scratch on her. Finally, Scarlett's parents arrived. I begged them to examine her body and investigate the truth. Instead, they reported to Alpha that I had neglected my duties. They claimed I was high on wolfsbane while guarding the border. Alpha exiled me for fifteen years. With both hands severed, I had no way to fight or shift properly. I survived by begging scraps from neighboring territories. Fifteen years later, I returned to the pack. I saw my mate Marcus walked through the airport's first-class terminal with Scarlett and their son. They were using my inheritance to fund their luxury vacation to the Maldives. They spotted me. Without hesitation, they pushed me into a silver pit to destroy all evidence. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day Scarlett faked her death. This time, I took one look at the scene and declared them beyond saving. I told my assistant to send them to bury them directly.

Si Veronica ay isang simpleng babae na buong buhay ay inilaan sa pag-aalaga kay Nanay Belen at sa kanyang kinakapatid na si Barbara. Si Barbara ay maganda, matalino, at palaging nakukuha ng gusto niya, ngunit sa likod ng kanyang perpektong imahe ay isang spoiled brat na sanay sa pagmanipula ng mga tao. Habang nag vi video call si Veronica sa kanyang boss na half-Filipino, half-Italian na si Anthony Rossi ay agad niyang napansin ang kagandahan ni Barbara. Nabighani ito kaya't dali daling pumunta ito ng Pilipinas bitbit ang kanyang 6 years old na anak na si Bianca at ang kanyang pilipinang ina upang kuning magmodelo ng kanyang merch at magtayo na din ng kumpanya. Inisip niyang seryosohin ang pakikipag relasyon nito ngunit nang masaksihan niya kung paano nito tratuhin ang sariling ina, naisip niyang hindi ito ang babaeng para sa kanya. Nang magkaroon ng problema si Bianca sa eskwelahan, napagtanto ni Anthony na kailangan nito ng isang maternal figure. Sa isang praktikal na desisyon, inalok niya si Veronica ng isang kasunduang kasal—hindi para sa pagmamahal kundi para samahan si Bianca. Ngunit sa kabila ng kasunduan, isang damdaming hindi nila inaasahan ang unti-unting umusbong dahil sa kabila ng ka walang personalidad na itsura sa panlabas ng assistant ay may nakatago itong ganda at higit sa lahat-mabuti itong tao. Nang malaman ni Barbara ang tungkol sa kasunduan, gumawa ito ng eksena—sinaktan ang sarili at muntik nang kitilin ang sariling buhay. Sa gabing dapat ipagdiwang ang engagement nina Veronica at Anthony, isang rebelasyon ang yumanig sa kanilang mundo—buntis si Barbara, at si Anthony ang sinasabing ama. Totoo kaya ito? O isa na namang kasinungalingan upang wasakin ang kanilang pag-iibigan?

“Let’s make a deal. Papayag ka sa kasal—just for show. Para kay grandpa. Name only, no real marriage. No interference in each other’s lives. Kapag gumaling si Lolo, magdi-divorce tayo. Bilang kapalit, bibigyan kita ng financial compensation.” Napamaang si Nathalie. Compensation? Hindi niya naituloy ang pagtanggi. Naalala niya ang kapatid niyang naghihintay ng pambayad para sa gamutan. Isa pa, kaya naman talaga siya pumunta sa Zamora ay para humiram ng pera. Nakita ni Cedric ang pag-aalinlangan niya. Dagdag pa nito, “As long as you agree, kahit magkano—ikaw ang bahala.” Tahimik na nagbilang si Nathalie ng hininga. Ilang sandali pa, tumango na siya. “Okay, I agree.” Bahagyang ibinaba ni Cedric ang paningin, tinatago ang malamig na ngiti sa kanyang mga mata. ‘Isang babaeng kayang ipagbili ang kasal para sa pera… how cheap,’ naisip niya.
