Nothing could hide her passion…
Fiona does not remember the years before she came to the priory on the Isle of Skye. Only the gentle Prioress knows the truth about the spirited, red-haired lass’s true birth. So it is in a simple cowl and peasant’s dress that she emerges from the island’s mists and faces the famed warrior chief of the Highlands, Alec Macpherson.
Or stop his love…
Alec has served King James with his sword. Now he would give his very soul to protect this beautiful girl from the intrigue that swirls around her. But Fiona wants his heart as well, and willingly he gives it…even as the king’s opponents are pushing her toward a deadly trap. For hidden in Fiona’s memory is the face of her mother’s killer and a secret that could topple the throne. And it will take Alec’s Highland strengths pitted against a foe’s cruel ambitions to prove, through blood and battle, which will reign–an army’s might or the powerful passions of two lovers…

Out Of Control by Shannon McKenna. $ 2.99
From the Jacket Copy:
In Behind Closed Doors and Standing in the Shadows, Shannon McKenna introduced the McCloud Brothers: intense, rugged, and super-sexy. Now, Davy McCloud is about to meet a woman he can’t trust–or live without…
Disillusioned P.I. Davy McCloud has an ironclad rule: never follow blind impulse when it comes to women. But he breaks it the instant gorgeous Margo Vetter shows up to teach at the gym next door. The sexual hunger–and the instinctual protectiveness–that she awakens is much too strong to resist.
Broke and on the run, framed for a murder she didn’t commit, Margot has no one to turn to but Davy McCloud. But the closer he comes, the more Margot discovers that holding back–or hiding–from this enigmatic, powerful man is impossible. In every way…
Then passion flares with unexpected intensity. But Margot’s past has finally caught up with her, and life is about to get more than complicated. It’s turning deadly…

Surrender by K.M. Scott. $ .99.
From the Jacket Copy:
The second book in the bestselling sexy Club X series!
Stefan March lives for a good time. Born into wealth, he sees everything in terms of what he can have, especially women. So far, life has denied him nothing and no one. When he meets his newest bartender, he instantly knows who his next conquest will be, but Shay’s not like the usual women he collects. To get her, he’ll have to be more than just the player he’s always been.
Shay Callahan is beautiful, determined, and intelligent. She’s got plans for her life, and they don’t include getting sidetracked by a man, and certainly not her wealthy player boss. Her job at Club X is for one thing-money to fund her education-but if she can make Stefan March see he’s not God’s gift to women, all the better. She never expects to find out there’s more to him than meets the eye.
As different as day and night, can these two see past who they think they are to find love?

How the Scoundrel Seduces by Sabrina Jeffries is $2.99. It’s the third book in her latest series.
Oh, Feed. You were awesome in your quest to rip my heart out and stomp on it. More or less a dystopian medical thriller populated by a family-by-choice determined to do right by one another, even though society has gone bonkers. I had to stop reading the series after Feed because of what the characters go through, which is a strange kind of compliment, admittedly.
Out of Control was my first full length McKenna and it’s still my favourite. Love Davy and Margot.
There is actually a love story through the heartline of the Feed trilogy, but it’s one in keeping with the dystopian horror theme. And it does not come to fruition in Feed. I can’t remember how to spoiler tag so I shan’t say any more, but I heartily recommend all three. Feed was probably my best book of the year when it came out, and I don’t even like horror!
