In the event anyone is wondering, I tried this code again today, on another title on my wishlist. I have now learned that this code is reusable.

It seems to stack with their other discounts too.

Light Me Up (Seven Steamy Series Starters) - $0.99
Amazon | B&N | Kobo

When the lights go out, bad boys burn even hotter...

Join eight NYT bestselling and award-winning authors as they introduce you to their red-hot series in this explosive collection. Whether you like cowboys or criminals, bootleggers or Army Rangers, Masters or MMA fighters, there's a hero--or two--for you.

Light Me Up includes seven complete stories and zero cliffhangers, each book the first in its series:

Long Hard Ride (Rough Riders #1) by Lorelei James
Channing jumps at the chance to shed her inhibitions and join a real chaps-and-spurs wearing rodeo cowboy for a wild summer on the circuit. Having his two traveling partners join in? Might be more than she bargained for. Can Colby McKay and his sweet-talking ways burrow into her heart and lead them to true love?

Tank (Blue Collar Billionaires #1) by M. Malone
Tank swore years ago to leave his anger behind, but after his mother is diagnosed with cancer and his deadbeat dad makes an appearance, sweet Emma Shaw might be the only one keeping him from exploding. But when billions are at stake, there's no such thing as innocent. Money. Changes. Everything.

All Fired Up (DreamMakers #1) by Vivian Arend & Elle Kennedy
Parker Wilson unexpectedly went from battle-hardened soldier to romance expert, but when a routine date recon turns into an unexpected night of passion, his mission becomes personal. Lynn Davidson is thrilled to walk on the wild side, but when their red-hot affair is threatened, it'll take a united DreamMakers effort to make their dreams come true.

In Kelly's Corner (Fighting Connellys #1) by Roxie Rivera
After a stalker threatens her, internet entrepreneur Bee Langston turns to Kelly Connolly to be her bodyguard. Up until now, Kelly had desperately tried to deny his feelings for his best friend's sister, but he can't turn her away. Only family troubles of his own interfere--ones that just might cost Bee her life.

Tucker's Fall (Purgatory Masters #1) by Eliza Gayle
Maggie Cisco returns to her hometown to lick her wounds and reconsider her future when a snowstorm puts her in the path of the handsome, rich and intense Tucker Lewis. No stranger to personal gossip, he looks past her recent scandal to the submissive craving a master's touch--he's going after Maggie and her heart's kinkiest desires.

Beyond Shame (Beyond #1) by Kit Rocha
All Noelle Cunningham ever wanted was a life beyond-beyond the walls of puritan, controlled Eden. Jasper McCray, bootlegger and cage fighter, has clawed his way up from nothing to stand at the right hand of Sector Four's ruthless leader. Together, they'll need to find a way in a world where passion is power.

Glutton for Pleasure (Pleasure #1) by Alisha Rai
As head chef in an Indian restaurant Devi Malik knows how to heat up everything--except her love life. Offered a chance to fulfill a secret fantasy involving her long-time crush and his brother, Devi puts her desire on the front two burners. It'll take more than explosive sex, however, to light up the shadows surrounding Marcus and Jace Callahan's secrets.

Just used it on a pre-order. Normally I would have gotten the book at Kobo, but with the pre-order sale price and this coupon it was less than 50% so what the heck

Yes, the devil can be in the details, even in love and marriage… and as Adam and Sherry find out, the only way to beat this particular devil is by learning that trust and love go hand-in-hand. Are they up to the battle?

Free: Sweet Addiction - J. Daniels

From NY Times and USA Today Bestselling author, J. Daniels

Wedding hookups never amount to anything.

Those who partake in this wicked little activity know the rules. Get in. Get laid. Get out. There's no expectation of a relationship. It is what it is.

Dylan Sparks knows the rules. She’s familiar with the protocol. And she engages in the best sex of her life with a complete stranger at her ex-boyfriend’s wedding.

Reese Carroll doesn’t care about the rules. He wants more than just one night with Dylan.

And Dylan finds him too addicting to pass up.

Sweet Addiction is the story of one woman’s struggle to keep things casual, and one man’s desire to never let her go.

***Warning: This book contains adult themes. 18+

I love A Lady for Ludovic, and was hoping Sarah McCulloch's books would be reissued! Thanks for pointing this out!

Highland Game by Kathryn Kramer, 2nd in her Game of Queens series of Scotland-set Elizabethan historical romantic dramas, originally out from Jove in 1991.

Scotland and England 1585: A cunning plot, a web of intrigue, a dangerous mission to free the captive Queen of Scots that will place two lovers at odds.

Beautiful, emerald-eyed Moira was sworn to another—but she knew once she laid eyes on the handsome Captain Ryan Paxton, that no other man could possess her. But he was English, and she was in the service of his enemy….

Before their forbidden love could flourish, Moira was entrapped by the sinister and ruthless “spymaster” Sir Francis Walsingham—who had his own wicked designs on her. Only the English captain could save her…and capture her soul in a blazing ecstasy of rapture.

Sweet Savage Surrender by Kathryn Hockett, multicultural historical western romance originally out from Zebra in 1990.

They were from two different cultures, their people were adversaries, yet once they had experienced the sensual sweetness of their passion, they knew they must risk every obstacle to be together.

But their new-found love is soon marked by treachery and betrayal. Despite promises of peace by the white man’s army, Skyraven’s people are scheduled to be brushed aside and exterminated like bothersome gnats at Sand Creek. Now it is John Hanlen’s turn to do everything in his power to save the woman he loves from the wrath of a madman.

IIRC, I think it was Blossom last month who said perhaps she was collecting this author (apparently pseudonymous)? If so, then hope you're fully recovered from that bug by now, and enjoy!

Another Kindle freebie from Diversion books:

The Water Nymph US DE by Michele Jaffe (orig. Atria 2000/ Pocket 2001).

In The Water Nymph, Michele Jaffe meets the standard of steamy passion, tense mystery, and historical detail that made last year's debut, The Stargazer, such a success. In this novel, our hero, Crispin Foscari (the "Earl of Scandal"), and heroine, Sophie Champion, meet over the recently murdered body of her friend. (This is not the only similarity to The Stargazer, but hey--Jaffe knows a good thing when she sees it.) Crispin accuses Sophie of murder, but agrees to give her some time to prove her innocence. As they search for the true killer, Sophie and Crispin find their common interests extend far beyond that of a murder investigation, and some steamy passion develops.

ETA: free again from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:

Here to Stay by Debra Webb, contemporary secret baby reunion romance originally out from Kensington's Precious Gems imprint in 2000.

Nathan Blackrope has never forgotten a single thing about Paige Weston. Not how much he loved her or the way she betrayed him, and not the plans they had once made. Plans that included marriage and children…things Nathan has never found—or wanted—with anyone else. Now Paige is back and Nathan is about to discover the shocking reason she left him…and why she has finally returned.

Getting intimately involved with Nathan again is the last thing Paige intends to allow when she returns to Trinity. She has never forgiven him for the way their relationship ended. In spite of her best efforts, she is still drawn to the proud Apache man who once stole her heart and gave her nothing in return. Nothing except her beloved child—a child whose father has no idea he exists…
