The Chieftain by Margaret Mallory. $ 3.49
From the Jacket Copy:
Overview
Connor, chieftain of the MacDonalds of Sleat, holds the fate of his people in his hands. Rival clans are plotting to take over his lands, and duty determines whom he will fight, trust . . . even marry. Seeking guidance, Connor turns to Ilysa, a young lass with the gift of foresight, who reveals an approaching danger-and a passion that burns only for him. But the warrior must make a powerful marriage alliance, and Ilysa’s bloodline is far too humble.
With her powers to heal and see evil where others cannot, beautiful Ilysa dresses plainly, speaks softly, and loves her chieftain from afar. Yet when Connor finally stokes the embers of desire that have so long burned within her, Ilysa feels bliss unlike any she’s ever known. Now as he is forced to place duty before happiness, Ilysa senses Connor is in grave peril. Can she find a way to prove she is the woman he needs by his side?

The Knight’s Vow by Gayle Callen. $ 1.99.
From the Jacket Copy:
He was her father’s enemy, and now he was her husband by the king’s decree. But that didn’t mean Lady Isabel Atherstone planned on honoring James Markham, Earl of Bolton, with her love. She only hoped that her hasty marriage would bring her closer to the revenge she sought adn finally restore her family’s name. But then, the willful new bride hadn’t counted on what would happen when her handsome husband took her to the marriage bed.
James Markham was thunderstruck. Though an age-old family rivalry kept his new wife at arms against him, she quivered with desire beneath his touch. Now the newly married earl wondered if his passion would be his undoing. For though the lady swore she’d never love him, her eyes told another tale—one that made the earl vow to possess her completely.

I think I’ll buy the Callen book just so that I can write an opposing response to that hysterically funny negative review on bn.com.
Thanks, Jane, for stretching the rules to include my book in your daily deals. :)
I had no idea THE CHIEFTAIN was incorrectly listed in the Erotica section on Kobo. Sigh. On Amazon, it’s characterized as a contemporary (as well as a historical), which is equally mysterious.
