Bound to Be a Bride by Megan Mulry

Spoiler:

Seventeen-year-old Isabella (Doña Isabella de Suárez de Figueroa y Córdoba), daughter of the Duke of Feria, is preparing for her arranged marriage to the son of a wealthy aristocrat. On the morning of her wedding day, after weeks of planning, Isabella escapes from the palace, believing she is riding to freedom.

Unfortunately, after only a few hours on horseback, Isabella happens upon a small band of three gentlemen who restrain her and take her hostage. Ultimately, after they realize she is most likely a woman of privilege, they offer their assistance, as all of them are also headed to Aveiro, a port city in Portugal, to escape their familial obligations.

While they are travelling, Isabella and Javier, the leader, develop a tender affection. When Javi (Francisco Javier de la Mina) insists on binding Isabella's wrists and ankles each night—ostensibly to prevent her escape or theft of their goods-the ritual soon turns into a heated game of unspoken sexual promise that is ultimately consummated when they discover their true identities.

To Be His by Terri L. Austin

Spoiler:

I didn't amass an empire without taking risks, but I'm not a complete arse. So yes, when I offered to trade Allie Campbell three months as my mistress for her family home, it was a joke. Only thing is, she wasn't laughing...and she bloody well took me up on it.
Well, all right then; I could play that game. I figured I'd take her on, we'd have some fun, and in three months, she'd walk away with her family intact and I could get back to what I do best: making money.
But I'd made one mistake along the way. I stupidly assumed that after having her, I could walk away. I was wrong. I don't know how long this feeling-this consuming need-will last, but I'm not ready to let her go.
Not now. Not yet. Maybe not ever.

On His Watch by Katie Ruggle

Spoiler:

In the remote Rocky Mountains, lives depend on the Search & Rescue brotherhood. But in a place this far off the map, trust is hard to come by and secrets can be murder...
Ice rescue diver Derek Warner never meant to be a hero. But when two little girls go missing, he's the first in line to bring them home-even if that means scouring the wilderness with the woman he once loved and lost, Artemis Rey.
Artemis has never stopped wanting Derek. Now, racing to find the girls before it's too late, minutes turn to hours. Night falls. Old flames rekindle. And a danger grows in the darkest wilderness that may be more than even the Search and Rescue brotherhood can hope to face...

Aloise’s mother succumbs to the cholera epidemic of the city.

From being the daughter of a seamstress of respectable parentage in Somerset, Aloise has become a lady of the night.

The streets of the Seven Dials are dangerously violent. Syd Black and his Blackamore cronie prey upon Aloise, attempting to force her into their employ.

Therefore when Frederick Tavistock, a gentleman client of Aloise, offers to buy her clothes befitting a lady, Aloise is instantly beguiled.

But once she has realised that Freddy's establishment is a glorified whorehouse for genteel clients, Aloise decides it’s time to take her future into her own hands.

After seeing an advertisement for emigrating to New Zealand, Aloise endeavours to secure a passage on a ship that will take her to Port of Lyttleton in the Canterbury settlement in New Zealand.

She attempts to hide the truth of her profession.

Snooty clerks and officials refuse her acceptance but she is determined to achieve her dream of becoming a lady.
Eventually, Caroline Chisholm, a philanthropist, adopts Aloise as a sound prospect for free passage.

Finally free of the filth of London, Aloise sets sail on the ‘Isabella Hercus’.

Who should she find on board but Lucius Thrimble, the former clerk of the Canterbury Association who recently opposed her passage?

He threatens to expose her secret life on the streets of the Dials and destroy her happy future.

Will Aloise be able to keep her unacceptable past hidden or will she be ostracised by all aboard the vessel?

Will she finally find peace in New Zealand or will misfortune follow her to new lands?

Will Aloise ever become a lady?

Awwww....

I'm so jealous. I love cats but I'm wildly allergic to them so I can't even pet them, let alone hold one.

Dark Horse by Michelle Diener is on sale. It's an Amazon only release (at least for digital, the print version is available at B&N too, but not on sale).

Spoiler:

Some secrets carry the weight of the world.

Rose McKenzie may be far from Earth with no way back, but she's made a powerful ally--a fellow prisoner with whom she's formed a strong bond. Sazo's an artificial intelligence. He's saved her from captivity and torture, but he's also put her in the middle of a conflict, leaving Rose with her loyalties divided.

Captain Dav Jallan doesn't know why he and his crew have stumbled across an almost legendary Class 5 battleship, but he's not going to complain. The only problem is, all its crew are dead, all except for one strange, new alien being.

She calls herself Rose. She seems small and harmless, but less and less about her story is adding up, and Dav has a bad feeling his crew, and maybe even the four planets, are in jeopardy. The Class 5's owners, the Tecran, look set to start a war to get it back and Dav suspects Rose isn't the only alien being who survived what happened on the Class 5. And whatever else is out there is playing its own games.

In this race for the truth, he's going to have to go against his leaders and trust the dark horse.

I had planned to wait until it was released as an epub, but for 99¢ I'll buy the Amazon version
