Yes, I'd just go through and re-install the plug-ins. Good luck, it can be so frustrating when things don't work!

Thanks you guys. I did have to reinstall that plugin and now it's all working. I feel like I never want to update anything again! LOL. So relieved.

Free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:

The Savage King by Michelle M. Pillow, an Ellora's Cave author, in her Lords of the Var sub-series within her Dragon Lords series of /m paranormal shapeshifter fantasy romances which she says you do not have to read in order. This was originally out from small press New Concepts Publishing in 2006.

Agent Ulyssa Payne is on a mission. It's her job to make sure the Medical Mafia leader doesn't leave the planet of Qurilixen. But, when her target is killed by his own daughter, her mission is over. Now, she stuck on a barbarian planet for three months until the Agency comes to get her.

Getting kidnapped by King Attor, she's left in the Var harem to await his return. But, when the King dies in battle and doesn't come for her, she's stuck dealing with his son, the new savage King of the Var. This is one complication Ulyssa didn't need.

Also free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:

Wrong Face in the Mirror by Barbara Bartholomew, a former Silhouette author, 1st in her self-pub Medicine Stick series of time travel romances, if you happened to like her others.

Lovely young Hart Benson does not remember her own life, but strangely enough she does recall that of another woman, Stacia Larkin, who vanished over sixty years ago when the little town of Medicine Stick was flooded to form a new lake. Hart finds herself with an intriguing husband, a family and a fortune she does not believe to be her own. It also begins to seem that somewhere out there is someone who wants to see her (or the real Hart) dead.

Leigh Greenwood, western romances (maybe historical)
Georgette Heyer, her non-romantic mystery Footsteps in the Dark has been a freebie before, IIRC
Joanne Kennedy, contemporary cowboy western romances, I think one of them has been free before
Connie Mason & Mia Marlowe, historical Highlander and Regency
Michèle Ann Young, historical

What Happens At Christmas (Millworth Manor #1) - Victoria Alexander
-Historical Romance - Victorian
-Zebra - 2013

Quote:

You are cordially invited to Christmas at Millworth Manor. . .
Camille, Lady Lydingham, requests the pleasure of your company at a festive house party, as she endeavors to coax a marriage proposal from Prince Nikolai Pruzinsky of Greater Avalonia.

The hostess's relatives will be in attendance--in this case, a troupe of actors hired to impersonate a proper English family in order to fool the Prince.

Gate-crashing, distractingly handsome first loves like Grayson Elliott are most unwelcome.

Games will be played.

Motives will be revealed.

Mayhem may ensue.

And hearts will be won--and lost--in the most romantic, magical season of all.

Please RSVP

Free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:

Shroud of Fog by Janice Kay Johnson, 1st in her Cape Trouble series of f/m contemporary romantic suspense. These are newly written, but Johnson is former Harlequin Superromance author with many of their paperbacks in her listings (apparently co-written with her mother, according to her bio-blurb), and says that she is a RITA Award-winning author.

Cape Trouble, a tiny Oregon Coast town, was named for the dangerous off-shore reefs. But some of its citizens seek refuge from their own troubles…which have a way of following them.

Sophie Thomsen’s life had a Before and an After – marked by the terrifying morning when she found her mother dead in the foggy sand dunes, an apparent suicide. Now, twenty years later, Sophie returns to Cape Trouble, only to find her aunt brutally murdered. Although she swore never to set foot again on Misty Beach, Sophie takes over her aunt’s crusade to save the falling-down Misty Beach Resort and its wild sand dunes and beach from development. But Sophie’s memories threaten a killer…who doesn’t dare let her remember too much.

Free from the author('s publishing consortium) via KDP Select @ Amazon: (linkage for the lot)

Ellora's Cave-published author Michelle M. Pillow has added a new paranormal short to her offerings (her New Concepts-published novel from upthread still available for free), and Mandy M. Roth, another Ellora alumna, repeats an m/f/m erotic vampire novella.
