The Millionaire’s Arranged Marriage by Tina Martin $ 2.99
From the Jacket Copy:
To ‘fix’ her selfish, chauvinistic son, Padma Alexander forces Dilvan into an arranged marriage agreement with Gabrielle Robinson, hoping that marriage will help to tame her self-centered son.
Dilvan devises a scheme of his own – mistreating his wife behind closed doors, then forcing her to pretend they are a happy couple in front of his Mother.
Just how long will Gabrielle be able to subject herself to her husband’s harsh treatment?
Scandals’ Splendor by Collette Cameron $ FREE
From the Jacket Copy:
She can see the future. Dare she tell what she knows?
A determined Scottish lady
Seonaid Ferguson, a lady of Craiglocky Keep, is through with London’s Marriage Mart. After learning she has the second sight, the haut ton attempts to exploit her abilities. Even though it means she condemns herself to spinsterhood, Seonaid sets a desperate course to rid herself of her gift turned curse. As she rushes home from England, a snowstorm strands her in a crowded inn with the last man she ever wished to see again. A handsome French baron who once thought her a courtesan. And just her misfortune, only he stands between her and certain harm.
An honorable French nobleman
Jacques, Monsieur lebaron de Devaux-Rousset, ventures to Scotland to oversee his new investment; a silver mine near Craiglocky. Only a handsome profit will save his family’s destitute estate in France. But when the mine is beset with one problem after another, Jacques must instead search for an heiress to wed. He certainly should not be falling in love with the lovely, spirited sister of Laird Ewan MacTavish. A lass whose dowry is insufficient to restore his ancestral home. Nor should he consider, even for a moment, her risqué, but deliciously tempting scheme to rid her of the second sight.
A danger most dire
Matters are torn from their hands when a dangerous adversary vows to expose Seonaid as a witch, just as Jacques’s problems at the mine escalate into deadly violence. Is it by chance, or a dark design, that both of them are beset at once? Dare Jacques and Seonaid throw caution aside and forge a future together?
Though this book is part of a series, it is a stand-alone novel.
Be sure to check out the Castle Bride Series which inspired the Highland Heather Romancing a Scot Series. You’ll meet some familiar characters.
Code Name: Blondie by Christina Skye $ 1.99
From the Jacket Copy:
Miki is living every woman’s fantasy—stranded on a desert island with a rugged navy SEAL. But little does Miki know she’s a suspect in an international high-tech robbery, and her steely-eyed companion is ready, willing and able to do anything to make her talk….
Navy SEAL Max Preston doesn’t buy one word of his gorgeous captive’s rambling story as he carries her up the beach. Yeah, she’s got curves in all the right places, but Max has a nose for a con—and there’s no way he’ll let his iron control waver.
Now a hurricane’s headed their way, and for Max and Miki time is running out fast. Can they team up as friendly forces—and use Max’s amazing canine companion to escape before a deadly villain takes his twisted revenge?
Dark Hunter’s Touch by Jessa Slade $ 0.99
From the Jacket Copy:
Yearning to be free, Imogene has fled the idleness and cruelty of the phae court to hide in the sunlit realm of humans. When the Dark Hunters find her—and they will—she will face the Queen’s wrath. But she is tired of running, and after a chance encounter with a seductively handsome stranger named Vaile, Imogene embraces the earthly passions within her, if only for one night. But has she fallen for a man—or an illusion?
“This is another shorty. It’s only around 634 pages” Reminds me of a friend who only reads epic fantasy.
That Dark Hunter’s cover photo has been used on so many books—both this way and in a reverse image. Sometimes they throw a tat sleeve on the hero’s arm. It was the cover of one of my favorites—TIME SERVED by Julianna Keyes. I actually purchased another book because it had that same cover—take it from me, that is NOT the way to choose a book!
Author Dee Davis posted on her Twitter account on May 22 that Christina Skye had passed away.
@Lynn Pauley: On her blog on her website, Christina’s husband wrote a lovely tribute.
