The Undoing by Shelly Laurentson $ 1.99
From the Jacket Copy:
No one would ever accuse Jace Berisha of having an easy life–considering her husband…you know…killed her. But that was then! Now she fights for mighty Viking gods with the spectacular and vicious Crows.
But things are turning very bad, very quickly because a vengeful, ancient goddess has come into the world with just one thing on her mind–ending it. And the only way they can hope to stop her is if the Crows join forces with their one-time enemies, the Protectors. A Viking Clan created to do nothing but kill every Crow they see.
Thankfully, Protector Ski Eriksen is a peace loving kind of guy. Because the woman he is desperately trying to get close to is the beautiful and not-very-chatty Jace. Battling Nordic clans? Unkillable goddesses? Jace’s mean-spirited dog? None of these things would ever get in the way of a true Viking!
Lord of Regrets by Sabrina Darby $ 0.99
From the Jacket Copy:
Natasha Polinoff has always lived on the fringes of society. Without the constraints of the ton’s expectations, she follows her heart and embarks on a passionate affair with a handsome young viscount. Thrown out of her home, she soon finds herself completely dependent on him…and pregnant.
Lord Marcus Templeton lives in the shadow of his late, profligate father, and under the vice-like control of his grandfather, the Earl of Landsdowne. Marcus finds peace in the arms of the beautiful, kind, and completely unmarriagable Natasha––until their love conflicts with fulfilling the obligations of his inheritance. His unreasonable demands send Natasha running into the dark of a cold, London night.
Five long years have passed and Natasha has settled into a new, quiet life with her young daughter. But Marcus never gave up his search for her and he will do anything, even blackmail, to have her back…this time as his wife.

Mute by ML Nystrom $ 0.99
From the Jacket Copy:
“HE LOVES LONG, LOVES HARD, BUT HE DON’T LOVE EASY.”
Katrina Vega is set on one thing: finishing college. She’s determined not to let anything or anyone distract her, especially not hot brooding bikers. On her mission to stay focused, she doesn’t expect to be pulled into the fold of a motorcycle club, let alone into the arms of Alec “Mute” Stillwater.
Unable to keep her guard up, Katrina soon discovers that beneath the hard and rough exterior of a family she’s grown to care for, there’s also loyalty and passion she’s envious of. But falling for the club’s enforcer will not only threaten her plans but quite possibly her life.
Lily of the Nile by Stephanie Dray $ 1.99
From the Jacket Copy:
The extraordinary daughter of Cleopatra and Mark Anthony seeks to reclaim her birthright in the first novel of an epic historical fiction trilogy from the New York Times bestselling author of America’s First Daughter.
With both of her parents dead, Princess Selene and her two surviving brothers are left at the mercy of their captors, taken from Egypt and put on display as war trophies in Rome. Trapped in an empire that reviles her heritage and suspects her faith, Selene struggles for survival in a court of intrigue. She can’t hide the hieroglyphics that carve themselves into her hands, nor can she stop the emperor from using her powers for his own ends.
Faced with a new and ruthless Caesar who is obsessed with having a Cleopatra of his very own, Selene is determined to resurrect her mother’s dreams and succeed where she failed. But there’s no telling what success will cost her in a treacherous political game where the only rule is win or die…
Spook Country by William Gibson is $1.99 at Amazon and Kobo – this came out in 2006 and it’s a contemporary, not sf/f, although it has a really similar tone to his cyberpunk novels. I read it at least 10years ago and thought it was good but a little light weight. I have no idea how well it will hold up.
