For more than three hundred years, Bluff House has sat above Whiskey Beach, guarding its shore—and its secrets. But to Eli Landon, it's home...

A Boston lawyer, Eli has weathered an intense year of public scrutiny and police investigations after being accused of—but never arrested for—the murder of his soon-to-be-ex wife.

He finds sanctuary at Bluff House, even though his beloved grandmother is in Boston recuperating from a nasty fall. Abra Walsh is always there, though. Whiskey Beach's resident housekeeper, yoga instructor, jewelry maker, and massage therapist, Abra is a woman of many talents—including helping Eli take control of his life and clear his name. But as they become entangled in each other, they find themselves caught in a net that stretches back for centuries—one that has ensnared a man intent on reaping the rewards of destroying Eli Landon once and for all...

Everyone has a talent. Some are just more legal than others. Cat Montgomery steals jewels for AB&T, the premier agency for thieves in Seattle. Career perks: good pay, great disguises, constant adrenaline rush. Drawbacks: the possibility of jail time…or worse. Now she’s taken on a lucrative side job—recovering a priceless Faberge egg for an alleged Romanov descendent.
Though Cat is working solo, there are plenty of interested players. Her FBI ex-boyfriend is nosing around, as is her former mentor-turned-nemesis. Then there’s the sexy art thief helping—or is he hindering?—her mission. If her luck holds out, this could be the case that allows Cat to retire with her conscience and her life intact. If not, it’ll be her last job for all the wrong reasons…

A Lot Like Love (FBI/US Attorney #2) by Julie James - $0.99
Kindle | Google

The FBI wants her cooperation.

As the daughter of a billionaire and the owner of the city’s top wine store, Jordan Rhodes is invited to the most exclusive parties in Chicago. But there’s only one party the FBI wants to crash: the charity fund-raiser of a famous restaurateur, who also happens to launder money for the mob. In exchange for her brother’s release from prison, Jordan is going to be there—with a date supplied by the Bureau.


Agent McCall just wants her.

As the top undercover agent in Chicago, Nick McCall has one rule: never get personal. This “date” with Jordan Rhodes is merely an assignment—one they’re both determined to pull off even if they can’t be together for five minutes before the sarcasm and sparks begin to fly. But when Nick’s investigation is compromised, he and Jordan have no choice but to pretend they’re a couple, and what starts out as a simple assignment begins to feel a lot like something more…

Free - The Soul of the Rose by Ruth Trippy

Published by Abingdon Press

After the tragic death of her closest friend, 20-year-old Celia Thatcher is sent to work in the bookstore of family friends. Hoping the new surroundings in Massachusetts will help her regain a happy outlook on life, Celia catches the eye of not one, but two men: the elite, but unkempt Bostonian-turned-hermit, Edward Lyons, who is clearly trying to run from his past and from God, and Charles Harrod, a charming Harvard law student who promotes a religious belief Celia has never before considered.

With both men vying for her attention, Celia’s world is again turned upside down when one of her beaus is accused of murder. Suddenly realizing where her heart lies, Celia is now challenged with a choice bigger than man: should she follow her heart or her God?

Four Classic Contemporary Romances by Liz Fielding for $0.99.

Four classic contemporary romances from award winning, best-selling author, Liz Fielding in a high value box set.

A Stranger's Kiss

Desperate to escape the unwanted attentions of a man following her home from work, Tara Lambert throws herself into the arms of a stranger.
It’s an “out of the frying pan” moment which only gets worse when, the following morning, she encounters Adam Blackmore for the second time.

She’s on a mission to promote her ailing secretarial agency at a glossy new office block. His new company headquarters. He’s convinced her “damsel in distress” act was a set up and it takes all her skill to convince him that she’s exactly what she says she is. All her character to resist the temptation to fall into the trap he’s laid – vital when she discovers that his previous secretary is expecting his child. Then they go on a business trip to Bahrain and everything begins to unravel.

Dangerous Flirtation

Rose has her life all mapped out. Everything is just perfect until a stranger with laughing blue eyes and a roguish grin turns her life upside down with a birthday kiss. Jack Drayton offers romance, excitement, passion and challenges her to risk her heart and go along with him for the ride. Dare she?

Old Desires

Joshua Kent infuriated Holly - he turned up on her doorstep, cavalier, demanding, manipulative and convinced she was a good-for-nothing gold-digger. Far worse was his bombshell that her past was a complete fabrication.

Eloping With Emmy

Hot shot legal eagle, Tom Brodie, has been landed with an assignment to test any man to his limits - do whatever it takes to prevent headstrong heiress Emerald Carlisle from marrying a fortune-hunter. He is not happy about it, and when Emmy stows away in his car, his day goes from bad to worse, but since she's the only one who knows where to find the man in question he has no choice but take her along for the ride.

It's a bumpy one!

Emmy is not a woman to sit back and let things fall as they will. She has a plan and she keeps Brodie on his toes in a rollercoaster chase across the UK and France. He's more than up to the challenge, but falling in love with Emmy along the way is always going to end with his heart in pieces.

I have got all of these already except for A Stranger's Kiss, so I assume they were free at some point, but I may get the collection even so for that one book.

I hope everyone that celebrates Memorial Day, has a happy one. Not only thank a veteran, but read a good military romance, like a Cherry Adair novel, or Lora Leigh, or even the time-traveling navy seals of Sandra Hill. Any other's you guys recommend? I tried to think of ones we haven't talk about before like Suzanne Brockmann or Cindy Gerard.

PS: Hoping for a sale at ARe to spend my birthday money on Monday. I can't remember if there was one last year.

What an excellent idea~! Now I have to decide between Cherry Adair (Edge of Fear) and Lora Leigh (Black Jack).

ETA Decided on Edge of Fear.

Thank you.

I did have a wonderful birthday on the 18th, and got some money to spend on books. Like last year, I spent some of it on another year's worth of audible credits. I have some money left over, so it seems to be burning a hole in my pocket. The first credits I spent were on the audio of Gini Koch's Touched by an Alien(5 stars), and pre-ordered Sheild of Winter by Nalini Singh and Sherrilyn Kenyon's Born of Fury.
