Pillow Talk by Hailey North. $ .99

From the Jacket Copy:

She Dreamed of Finding Mr. Right

Margaret “Call me Meg” McKenzie Cooper will do anything to make her children’s dreams for a daddy come true-even if it means accepting a stranger’s outrageous marriage proposal. Only she hadn’t counted on the man’s brother being the dangerously sexy Parker Ponthier-or that making her children’s dreams come true would mean risking her heart.

Could This Dream Come True?

Any woman between eight and eighty would kill to flaunt Parker’s heirloom diamond engagement ring. The New Orleans millionaire doesn’t want someone who’s after his bank account-he’s looking for a lifetime of love. Meg is warm, passionate, and sets his soul on fire. But while his instincts warn him that she’s nothing but trouble with a capital “T,” Parker decides that for once in his life he’s going to follow his heart.

Hour of the Rat by Lisa Brackmann. $ .99

From the Jacket Copy:

Iraq War vet Ellie McEnroe has a pretty good life in Beijing, representing the work of controversial dissident Chinese artist Zhang Jianli. Even though Zhang’s mysterious disappearance of over a year ago has her in the sights of the Chinese authorities. Even though her Born-Again mother has come for a visit and shows no signs of leaving. But when her mom takes up with “that nice Mr. Zhou next door,” Ellie decides that it’s time to get out of town—given her mother’s past bad choices of men, no good can come of this.

An old Army buddy, Dog Turner, gives her the perfect excuse. His unstable brother Jason has disappeared in picturesque Yangshuo, a famous tourist destination, and though Ellie knows it’s a long shot, she agrees to try to find him. At worst, she figures she’ll have a few days of fun in some gorgeous scenery.

But her plans for a relaxing vacation are immediately complicated when her mother and the new boyfriend tag along. And as soon as she starts asking questions about the missing Jason, Ellie realizes that she’s stumbled into a dangerous conspiracy that may or may not involve a sinister biotech company, eco-terrorists, an art-obsessed Chinese billionaire and lots of cats—one that will take her on a wild chase through some of China’s most beautiful—and most surreal—places.

The Worth Series Boxed Set by Mara Jacobs. $ .99.

From the Jacket Copy:

The first 3 books in the contemporary romance Worth Series

Book 1:
Worth The Weight
A New Body…A New Life…An Old Flame?
Lizzie Hampton is literally a shadow of her former self. Having lost half her body weight, she’s headed to her small hometown to test out her new body on an old flame.
Just a harmless fling to get her self confidence back before she returns to
the city and the new man in her life.

Book 2:
Worth The Drive
All Katie ever wanted was a baby. Be careful what you wish for.
Katie Lipton is the town beauty, but that never got her what she wanted most—a baby. And, oh yeah, a faithful husband would have been nice, too.

Reeling from her husband’s cheating and desertion, Katie embarks on a one-night fling with professional golfer Darío Luna. Never could she have imagined that one night with Darío would give her something fifteen years of marriage couldn’t—morning sickness.

Darío was raised without a father, and he has no intention of the same fate befalling his child. He’s still not sure about Katie, though. Did she trick him? Lie to him? But his feelings for her, and this crazy attraction he feels, soon has him putting his doubts aside to spend more time with her. He tells himself it’s for the sake of the baby. Yeah. Right.

Agreeing to try to work out some sort of relationship before the baby is due, Katie travels with Darío to his golf tournaments, walking the course with him by day…and giving in to their attraction by night. But will it be enough?

Book 3:
Worth The Fall

Alison Jukuri is the smart one. But it hasn’t seemed to help her much in her relationships with men. And now she’s on the verge of making one, big stupid move.

Again.

Petey Ryan has spent his life hitting and being hit as a defenseman in the NHL. But now he’s about to go up against his biggest foe of all … tiny Alison Jukuri.

A woman with whom he shares a long-held secret.
