THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN’T FAKE
Will Tiernay is an operative with Avalon, a top-secret army of mercenaries who recover stolen art and antiquities. When his new assignment — tracking down an art forger at a museum reproductions company — leads him directly to his former lover, Mia Dolan, he discovers he wants her more than ever. But Mia is his prime suspect.
THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN’T CONTROL
Mia had always imagined Will to be married with a houseful of kids back home in Ohio. So she’s shocked to discover that he’s a very single journalist researching the inner workings of Haddington Reproductions. More shocking is their chemistry — as irresistible now as then. But Mia suspects Will is hiding something…. Is this truly a second chance at passion? Or will his real mission draw them so deeply into an underworld of danger and deception that they’ll be lucky to escape alive?

She has every intention of keeping her hidden desires under wraps-until she meets a gorgeous, hard-muscled man ten years her junior. Mark St. Crow is a gifted, up-and-coming musician who collects erotic art and loves to “play” women as much as his piano. After one night of uninhibited passion, Ruby realizes there’s no turning back. But as she surrenders to her deepest needs and lets Mark control every forbidden thrill, her passion for him builds. Can the wild, intoxicating nights they share lead to a love that will last forever?
666 Park Avenue by Gabriella Pierce $ 0.99
From the Jacket Copy:
What if your mother-in-law turned out to be evil. . . literally?
Ever since fabulously wealthy Malcolm Doran walked into her life and swept her off her feet, fledgling architect Jane Boyle has been living a fairy tale. When he proposes with a stunning diamond to seal the deal, Jane can’t believe her incredible luck and decides to leave her Paris-based job to make a new start with Malcolm in New York.
But when Malcolm introduces Jane to the esteemed Doran clan, one of Manhattan’s most feared and revered families, Jane’s fairy tale takes a darker turn. Soon everything she thought she knew about the world—and herself—is upended. Now Jane must struggle with newfound magical abilities and the threat of those who will stop at nothing to get them.
Other readers may feel differently but I liked how the relationship with Malcolm ended up. The reason for that resolution may be too neat and pat for some tastes (including mine) but I didn’t much care for him as a character and found Jane’s interactions with the other potential love interest more interesting. Hopefully, this will not develop into a love triangle in future books because that’s something I could definitely do without and I think what Malcolm did ultimately puts him in DNW territory in terms of potential love interests.”
Mariana by Susanna Kearsley $ 1.99
From the Jacket Copy:
A haunting, paranormal romance from a Romantic Times Readers Choice and RITA Award-winning author, a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author
When Julia Beckett moves into the beautiful old farmhouse, she soon discovers she’s not alone there.
“Tread lightly, she is near.”
She encounters haunting remnants of a beautiful young woman who lived and loved there centuries ago. She finds herself transported into 17th-century England, and into the world of Mariana.
Each time Julia travels back, she becomes more enthralled with the past… until she realizes Mariana’s life is eclipsing her own. She must lay the past to rest or risk losing the chance for happiness in her own time.
A modern gothic historical fiction with elements of time travel, reincarnation, and romance from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Susanna Kearsley.
Mariana is brilliant. The reveal at the end is breathtaking.
I bought Mariana (thought I had read it before but guess not) and picked up the audiobook for $1.99 as well.
