A Little Ray of Sunshine US DE by Lani Diane Rich (who has written for some major publishers).

"There are worse things than going home again.

None come to mind at the moment."

Emmy James is not the kind of girl who believes in angels, or fate. So when a lost soul named Jess gets stranded at the convenience store where EJ works the night shift, and claims to be an angel delivered by Fate to fix EJ’s life, EJ calls her a cab and sends her on her way.

Ah, if only it were that easy to shake an angel off your leg...

Jess’s determination to fix EJ’s life culminates in a kidnapping and a cross-country trek at the end of which lies Fletcher, Oregon, and the scorched earth of EJ’s past. There’s Lilly, her narcissistic child-star mother; Danny, the stand-in father who raised her when her mother couldn’t; and Luke, the love of her life, the man who knew her best and loved her anyway. Now it’s up to EJ to heal the damage she left in her wake when she disappeared out of their lives six years ago, and even with an angel on her shoulder, that’s gonna be a tall order...

So Tempting US DE by Jean Brashear, a Harlequin author. This book is a reissue.

(Originally published under the title Surrender)

A mesmerizing, wealthy recluse...a rookie detective who can't afford to trust him...temptation beyond measure...

Rookie detective Jace Carroll's first case plunges her into a tangle of deadly secrets and a decades-old feud. At the center of the puzzle is the enigmatic and mesmerizing Dante Sabanne, a sexy, powerful, wealthy recluse whose expertise in ancient poisons and exotic sexual practices makes him by turns a crucial expert witness, a devastating lover...and possibly the man behind a cult whose rituals have turned from depraved to deadly. 


Jace's devotion to the law and her stubborn refusal to back off from duty makes her the last temptation on earth Dante can afford to indulge when he is conducting a secret battle against a foe intent on destroying everyone important to him, a battle she can only complicate.
Every encounter between them ratchets up the stakes and the explosive chemistry between them only flares hotter—but the consequences could be deadly if she makes the wrong choice between the evidence before her eyes…and the yearnings of a heart she is no longer sure she can trust.

Pieces of Dreams US DE, a reissued novella by Jennifer Blake. This is part of a special offer on behalf of Steel Magnolia Press (see link at the Amazon page)

Amelia "Melly" Bennington's dream of married bliss comes undone when she mistakenly kisses the wrong man -- not her staid, hard-working bridegroom but the dashing sea captain who is his twin brother.

As the wedding draws near, she is torn by long-held affection for one man and sensual attraction to the other. Animosity between the two men reaches such a fever pitch that a tragic break seems inevitable -- unless Melly can force her unruly heart to decide which brother to favor and which to send away forever.

Novella. 30,000 words -- about 100 pages.

Originally published by Berkley in THE QUILTING CIRCLE anthology and by Jove in the WITH LOVE anthology.

Free at Amazon:

Bringing Down Sam US DE by Leslie Kelly, who has written many romances for Harlequin Blaze and whose writing I really enjoy.

FIRST TIME IN PRINT--A Super-Sexy, Funny Romance from Bestselling Author Leslie Kelly!

High school teacher Eve Barret has a secret--she was once a child modeling superstar. She's left that life far behind, and has no intention of returning to it. At least not until her best friends talk her into a crazy scheme to "bring down" Public Enemy Number 1: Sam Kenneman.

Sam Kenneman has every woman in the country up in arms about his new bestseller, 101 Ways To Avoid Commitment. The book's supposed to be a joke--but women aren't getting it. Now he just wants the frenzy to die down so life can go back to normal.

Her goal? Teach him a lesson.

His goal? Don't fall for the sexy blonde.

The problem? They can't resist each other!

Jake's Bride US DE by Karen Rose Smith, which is probably a renamed version of an older print romance.

JAKE'S BRIDE is Book 2 in Karen Rose Smith's Search For Love series.
Contemporary marriage of convenience

Could Jake ever trust Sara again? Sara Standish knew private investigator Jake Donovan didn't want children. He'd lost his wife and child and his anguish was obvious. With their wedding only days away, she discovered she was pregnant. Should she marry Jake and trap him with a child he might not want? She loved him too much to do that so she called off their wedding and left Los Angeles without telling him about her pregnancy. Now four years later, a letter from her mother helps her realize she made a terrible mistake. Jake deserves to know he has a son. When Sara tells Jake the truth, she sees the sense of betrayal in his eyes. He will never be able to trust her again. But when he asks her to marry him for the sake of their son, she hopes her love can heal them both.
Although Jake has hardened his heart against Sara's beauty and gentle nature, he knows he wants to be a father to his son. The only way to do that? Marriage. But he doesn't expect to be caught in the web of loving Sara again. With Christmas near, can they really become a family? Only if he can leave the past behind. Can the traditions of Christmas make Jake whole? No, but maybe love can.
