From USA TODAY bestselling author Delores Fossen come three Sweetwater Ranch stories about meting out justice, Texas-style…
MAVERICK SHERIFF
Texas sheriff Cooper McKinnon once had it all—until a tragic car accident changed everything. When he meets DA Jessa Wells, Cooper is shocked to discover her adopted little boy looks just like his son, whose body was never recovered. Now, with a new investigation opening old wounds, Cooper will have to work with the frustrating beauty if he’s to reclaim the child he never gave up searching for.
COWBOY BEHIND THE BADGE
Texas Ranger Tucker McKinnon steps out of the shower and gets the shock of a lifetime when he finds his old flame and newborn twins hiding out in his pantry. Although they have a troubled past, it’s the still-simmering attraction that makes Tucker want to protect Laine Braddock and these babies she claims are in danger.
RUSTLING UP TROUBLE
ATF agent Blue McCurdy never thought he’d forget the night he spent with Deputy Rayanne McKinnon—until a bullet wiped out his memory and left him for dead. Reuniting with the beautiful brunette only ratchets up the danger…especially when he learns she’s carrying his child.
Get all three edge-of-your-seat reads, now available for the first time in one volume!
The Speed of Dark by Elizabeth Moon $ 1.99
From the Jacket Copy:
Tenth anniversary edition • With a new Introduction by the author
In the near future, disease will be a condition of the past. Most genetic defects will be removed at birth; the remaining during infancy. Lou Arrendale, a high-functioning autistic adult, is a member of the lost generation, born at the wrong time to reap the rewards of medical science. He lives a low-key, independent life. But then he is offered a chance to try a brand-new experimental “cure” for his condition. With this treatment Lou would think and act and be just like everyone else. But if he was suddenly free of autism, would he still be himself? Would he still love the same classical music—with its complications and resolutions? Would he still see the same colors and patterns in the world—shades and hues that others cannot see? Most important, would he still love Marjory, a woman who may never be able to reciprocate his feelings? Now Lou must decide if he should submit to a surgery that might completely change the way he views the world . . . and the very essence of who he is.
Thoughtful, provocative, poignant, unforgettable, The Speed of Dark is a gripping journey into the mind of an autistic person as he struggles with profound questions of humanity and matters of the heart.
Just One Lie by Kyra Davis $ 1.99
From the Jacket Copy:
In the instant international sensation Just One Night, sensible Kasie Fitzgerald unleashed her passions–and found herself–through an explosive affair. In Just One Lie, we meet Kasie’s wild and tortured sister, whose impulsivity and lack of self-control has set off a chain of events that changes her family forever.
Melody Fitzgerald is the opposite of the “perfect” daughter. The lead singer of an indie rock band, she is impulsive and creative, with a rebellious streak that both defines her and becomes her greatest enemy. Her lover, the enticing and unpredictable Ash, shares her free spirit and penchant for trouble. On the face of it, he seems to be her perfect match.
So why is she so drawn to her soft spoken, reliable drummer, Brad Witmer? How can a man who wears polo shirts and reads the financial section of the paper be of any interest to her at all? And why on earth does someone like that appear to be so captivated by her?
Before she knows it, Melody finds herself on a path of self-discovery, passion, and affairs of the heart. But will a dark secret from her past derail it all? Or will its exposure be the very thing that unburdens her heart and allows her to seek a future with the one man who loves her completely?
Tiffany Girl by Deanne Gist $ 1.99
From the Jacket Copy:
I enjoyed the Kyra Davis mystery series, with it’s blend of chick lit/San Francisco location/biracial heroine. I wondered where she’d gone. Thanks for highlighting her.
Just to go back to a deal from a few days earlier, if you picked up the McCaffrey Dragon Hall book, be aware that for some reason the editing of the text is horrendous in the kindle edition. There are sentences missing, words missing, words out of context. I was really surprised. It’s not as if these are new books. They’ve been around since the ’80s, when I first read them.
@Shayera: From discussions on MobileRead it’s looking like the versions of the Harper Hall books for sale in the US might be pirated versions and not official versions from rights holder. The UK (and commonwealth?) versions are legit copies from Transworld (RandomHouse), but as of now it’s looking like the US versions are questionable.
That should read “the” rights holder.
@Brian: Thank you for the info. That’s so infuriating to hear.
