Dangerous Moves by Mary Jane Morgan, an f/m contemporary cowboy western personal injury* romance originally out from Kensington's Zebra Bouquet imprint in 2000.

Dillon McRay has wanted to win the bull riding at the International Finals Rodeo all his life, but he wrenched his back and needs physical therapist, Brooke Stevenson, to fix him up.

Brooke knows that if he competes before his back is healed, he could be permanently disabled. In spite of her warning, Dillon insists he’ll be riding a bull in six weeks.

As Brooke works to rehabilitate Dillon’s back, the daring cowboy charms his way past her defenses. Brooke does exactly what she’s sworn she wouldn’t do – falls hard for a cowboy who’s on a quest that might leave him crippled – maybe even paralyzed like her brother – and once again she’s helpless to prevent it.

* Frankly, the hero sounds like an idiot and the heroine probably deserves better than someone who's dumb enough to willfully court permanent injury over a trivial matter that can wait until next year's competition, with the direct example of someone else who has to live with such right in front of him.

Nate has dodged more than a few bullets over the years, but fighting his attraction for Alex may be the bullet that does him in. Still, Nate's determined to help her find the missing kid. There's no doubt in his mind that they're walking straight into danger, but Nate's willing to face anything if it means protecting Alex.

A Once and Future Love by Anne Kelleher (ISFDB), a Quantum Leap-y sort of f/m timeslip bodyswap romance putting a 21st century man into the body of his medieval ancestor, originally out from Jove in 1998 (blurb says that this has been updated with a new ending).

England, 2014. When Richard Lambert’s beloved wife dies, he thinks he will never find love again. Until, while exploring a medieval tower, he falls from the steps—and into another time…

England, 1214. When Richard wakes, he’s in the body of his ancestor, who is near death from battle. As his wife nurses him back to health, she finds he is not the cruel man she knew. And he discovers a second chance—with his one and only love…

The Bride Price by Karen Jones Delk, an f/m interracial historical romance involving a Creole beauty and an Arab Sheik, originally out from HarperPrism in 1992. This one is available to Canadians and also free worldwide when I spot-check.

Sheltered Creole beauty Bryna O’Toole was raised in a convent in Louisiana, until the day her father sends for her to join him in Morocco. She's just arrived at his Tangier mansion when his enemies kidnap her and sell her to a "marriage broker." Against her will, she is now bound for the glaring white sands of Arabia and the harem of lecherous wastrel Nassar bin Hamza.

Bryna’s only hope of escape lies with the powerful uncle of Nassar bin Hamza, Sheik Sharif Al Selim, noble lion of the desert. But Sharif’s honor keeps him far away from Bryna, his nephew’s woman, despite their incredible attraction. As the caravan journeys on, love clashes with honor, ecstasy with terror, as the handsome Sheik and the Creole beauty will discover if they're meant to be together, forever.

The Emerald Queen, an f/m intercultural historical romance involving a French Creole plantation woman and an American steamboat captain, originally out from HarperCollins' Diamond imprint in 1994. This one only seems to be free in the US when I spot-check other regional stores.

Simone Devereaux is the emerald-eyed hoyden of the Vieux Carré, mysterious queen of a steamboat empire, chateleine of a grand plantation.

Arrogant Marcel vows to have her, to destroy anyone who stands in his way--even Simone herself. Genteel Alain swears he'll turn the spitfire into a lady, but instead, his passion makes a woman of her. Steamboat captain Tom, l'américain, offers Simone an unexpected refuge, an unprecedented partnership-- and his heart.

Yet the beautiful Simone will belong to no one, unless he truly loves her for herself -- and forever.

NB: for some reason these are both filed under "Inspirational Romance" in the Amazon categories, but IMHO, the content of the plots and the torridness of the original paperback covers (and their being out from a HarperCollins dedicated romance imprint rather than one of the Christian lines) makes me think those are a misfile. YMMV.

Free again from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:

Averill by Jackie Ivie, 3rd in her Brocade Collection of f/m historical romances, this one an espionage-looking adventure installment set in 1840s Cairo. I couldn't easily find original pubdate info (if there was any) for this one, but Ivie has been a Kensington Zebra author.

Only the bravest of souls live on the streets of Cairo. And the most desperate…

Raised an orphan in the mission, branded a bastard, and lusted after, Averill had no choice. She couldn’t stay. It wasn’t safe. And she didn’t belong. She doesn’t belong anywhere. Nothing hides her vivid blue eyes and artistic talent. But she’s safe on the streets, as long as no one looks too close. A foreign soldier with an eye for detail could destroy her world.

The only thing worse is going back.

Captain Andrew Tennison has a secret mission, a bent for intrigue, and a taste for danger. What he doesn’t have is any desire to assume his position in England as heir to an earldom. Undercover work in Her Majesty’s service is exactly what he likes. The last thing he needs is to become entangled with a woman of unusual beauty whose existence is in peril. But someone has to step in.

…and alter fate.

Actually it works out to a bit more than that, because they apply the 14% discount to the list price and then deduct it from the *sale* price. Which means that the titles that are currently on special become even better deals. I got the Bronwyn Scott one that's currently 99c for 15c!

NA, $.99 books 1 & 2 of Reclaiming the Sand series by A. Meredith Walters

Spoiler:

From the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author of Find You in the Dark and Bad Rep comes a story of forgiveness, redemption and finding love in the most unlikely of places.

*Originally written as a stand alone but the sequel, Chasing the Tide will be released on December 16, 2014***

*On sale for $.99 until the release of the sequel***

Bully and victim.
Tormenter and tormented.
Villain and hero.

Ellie McCallum was a bully. No connection to anyone or anything. A sad and lonely existence for a young woman who had come to expect nothing more for herself. Her only happiness coming from making others miserable.

Particularly Freaky Flynn.

Flynn Hendrick lived a life completely disconnected even as he struggled to become something more than that boy with Asperger's. He was taunted and teased, bearing the brunt of systematic and calculated cruelty, ultimately culminating in a catastrophic turn of events that brought Ellie and Flynn’s worlds crashing down.

But then Flynn and Ellie grew up.

And moved on.

Until years later when their paths unexpectedly cross again and the bully and the freak are face to face once more.

When labels come to define you, finding yourself feels impossible. Particularly for two people disconnected from the world who inexplicably find a connection in each other.

And out of the wreckage of their tragic beginnings, an unlikely love story unfolds.

But a painful past doesn’t always want to let go. And old wounds are never truly healed…and sometimes the further you try to run from yourself the closer you come to who you really are.

Spoiler:

**The powerful continuation of the story that began in Reclaiming the Sand- a tale of love and forgiveness and learning to move on from a past that has come to define you.**

Bully and Victim

Friend and Lover

Past and Future

Ellie McCallum and Flynn Hendrick’s story was as painful as it was devastating. But they were able to find within each other an unlikely yet beautiful love. Despite the obstacles that tried to keep them apart.

And together they rose out of the ashes of their tragic history.

Now years after their life changing reunion Ellie is back in Wellston, having just graduated from college and ready to start her future with the man who taught her how to love. However, returning to a town that held so much bitterness and anger was the last place she wanted to start over.

But for Flynn, who is now an art professor at the community college and firmly rooted in the place that gave them their beginning, she’d do just about anything.

Yet it’s difficult building a life when you’ve only just learned how to live.
And love, no matter how strong, doesn’t always conquer all.

Ellie and Flynn must learn how far they are willing to go to stay together. Or whether the ghosts of the past will consume them both.

Because finding a happily ever after is harder than it seems. Particularly when you’re fighting against the one thing that could destroy you.

Yourself.

Good find! So the book costs 15c AND you'll get 600 points for it.
Blindfolded Innocence costs 40c with the code and is good for 400 points.

Anymore like this?

Edit: found the list (99c - 14% of list price) + rewards points of list price.
