Midnight Vengeance by Lisa Marie Rice $ 1.99
From the Jacket Copy:
Morton “Jacko” Jackman isn’t afraid of anything. He’s a former Navy SEAL sniper, and he’s been in more firefights than most people have had hot meals. Lauren Dare scares the crap out of him.
Gorgeous, talented and refined, she’s the type of woman who could never be interested in a roughneck like him. So he’s loved her fiercely in secret, taken her art classes, and kept a watchful but comfortable distance. Until now.
Lauren had finally found a home in Portland, far from her real identity, far from the memories of her mother’s death, and outside the reaches of the drugged-out psycho who’s already tried to kill her twice. One tiny misstep—a single photograph—has shattered it all. She has no choice but to run again, but this time she’ll give herself a proper farewell: one night with Jacko.
Their highly charged emotional encounter changes everything. In Jacko’s arms there cannot be fear, there can only be pleasure. Anyone wishing her harm will have to pass through him, and Jacko is a hard man to kill.

To Catch a Thief by Christina Skye $ 1.49
From the Jacket Copy:
Nell MacInnes can spot a forgery from a mile away. After all, she learned from the best—her father is one of the art world’s most notorious thieves. His brutal beating by the very authorities who claim to keep the world safe from harm taught her one more valuable lsson—trust no one.
The last thing rugged navy SEAL Dakota Smith needs on his mission is a tempting woman he doesn’t trust. But a sketch by Leonardo da Vinci has gone missing, and the art conservator’s skill in detecting forgery would be invaluable, if only her ties to the criminal world are as dead as she says they are.
Soon an edgy partnership and white-hot attraction are forged between Nell and Dakota as they race to Draycott Abbey to track down a ruthless criminal with terrorist ties before time runs out—and the da Vinci is lost forever.

“After a breathtaking turn of events, Shadow is looking at life in a different perspective.” – M. N. Forgy
He’s not looking at life in a different perspective, Ms Forgy, I’m not sure how that would even work. It’s *with* a different perspective. SMH. You know, when the blurb hasn’t been edited, then I tend not to buy the book – who knows what you’ll find there.
@Sara: I had the same reaction when I read this part:
“As Shadow is laying behind his rifle…” (blurb)
What is he laying? Eggs?
Alex and Will have spent months keeping their relationship hidden from their families. Getting caught prematurely causes them to admit their love for each other to their parents.
I really did think that was m/m/ for a minute.
