Amazon probably pays the publisher a percentage of the price they get. They may have freedom to set their own price, or they may have an agreement to do a loss-leader promotional sale.
Wild guess here, but the $45 price on Fictionwise might simply be a typo of an intended price of $4.50.
There are any number of reasons why things like this might happen. Most of them do not support conspiracy theories.
