The Gypsy Duchess by Nadine Miller, an f/m historical romance originally out from Signet in 1996.

Moira, the beautiful young widowed Duchess of Sheffield, knew all too well why Devon St. Gwyre, the Earl of Langley, hated her so: It was she who had shattered his younger brother's heart by refusing to marry the lovelorn youth. It was she who had driven him to go off to war and recklessly throw away his life in battle. And now it was she, more exquisitely enticing than ever, who asked the Earl to take charge of the child of a forbidden love and a loveless marriage.

No wonder the devastating Devon was driven to rage at the very sight of her. No wonder he wanted nothing better than to settle the score with her. But soon she discovered that this man who knew a woman's weakness as well as he knew his own strength had a weapon of vengeance she had not dreamed of. For far more dangerous than Devon's anger was Devon's desire...

The Selfless Sister by Shirley Kennedy, an f/m Regency historical romance with mystery/suspense elements originally out from Signet in 2000.

Lucinda Linley has seen five of her six sisters marry. She always stepped aside as the younger girls made their matches, refusing her own suitors for the good of her siblings. Now, with her father’s money spent on too many dowries, she knows a suitable match is unlikely.
When she meets Douglas Wyndham—the outcast lord of Ravensbrook—she finds her heart leaping with excitement. And Douglas can hardly contain himself in the presence of this woman who shines brighter than the most refined of London’s ladies.

But the mystery of a missing little girl divides the two families. A twenty-five-year-old tragedy that’s never been solved has hung like a dark cloud over Douglas’s entire life. And so, after all the sacrifices she made for her sisters, Lucinda must fight for her own greatest passion. Against all odds, can she, herself, solve the mystery? If she can, she will heal the rift between two rival families, and clear the way for a lifetime of happiness with the man she loves.

Emma reluctantly returns to Cupid, Texas, stealing time from her career as a television journalist, because her friend begs her. Emma's youthful marriage to Tucker, her high school boyfriend, had been fiery in lots of ways. She can't quite forget his kisses, even though she's tried. To her chagrin, she sees Tucker at the wedding rehearsal since his brother is the groom. Just as hot as he was before, Tucker's still the hunky guy she married right out of high school, but now he's a medical doctor. To her shock, she discovers that he never got the divorce and they're still married. She'd thought Tucker took care of the matter, but he tells her he never did this. They're still married and Tucker isn't sure he wants a divorce. He still has feelings for Emma.

She has to decide if the flames between her and her husband deserve another shot.

MM, Free, Boxset: Cover Me - The Complete Trilogy - L.A. Witt

Spoiler:

The Cover Me Boxed Set contains all three volumes of L.A. Witt’s M/M romantic thriller series.

Cover Me

When paramedic Nick Swain responds to a shooting in a seedy neighborhood, his entire world is thrown off its axis. His life is threatened…twice. Allegations of racism and medical neglect threaten his career and his ability to sleep at night. Not that he’ll be sleeping any time soon after the incident throws him into the path—and arms—of Detective Andrew Carmichael.

One hot night after another with Andrew may help Nick relieve some work-related stress, but sex won’t solve every problem in his life. With the media hounding him and the city watching his every move, he starts to wonder if the world is out to get him.

The world may not be out to get him, but someone is.

And that someone wants Nick dead.

Trust Me

On the scene of a multiple murder that’s grisly even for a veteran homicide detective, Brian Clifton is stunned when one of the victims bears an uncanny resemblance to his boyfriend, James. As the similarities keep piling up, so do the bodies… and the evidence pointing to James as the killer.

Since long before the shooting, James has been dishonest. He’s been evasive. Oh, and there’s that minor detail he withheld from Brian about being a gambling-addicted drug dealer.
James may not be the best boyfriend in the world, but he begs Brian to believe he’s no killer. In fact, whoever did pull the trigger undoubtedly wants to finish what they started, and Brian is the only one James trusts to keep him safe.

But how much is Brian willing to risk to protect a man he may not even know?


Search Me

In the beginning, Detective Andrew Carmichael and paramedic Nick Swain barely escaped Nick’s delusional stalker with their lives. Now, months later, the physical scars haven’t quite healed, and neither have the emotional ones. Lingering guilt and resentment threaten to tear their relationship apart, but Andrew isn’t ready to give up. He’s nearly lost Nick once, and he’s not giving him up this time without a fight.

In a last ditch effort to keep them together, Andrew suggests a weekend away, but is that enough time to find a reason to keep their relationship alive?

Or is it time to let Nick walk away?

All three books at one low price!

She played right into his hands.

The River Rogues, Book 1

Possessing uncanny people-reading skills like her mama, Philadelphia “Dell” Samuels has spent thirteen years in her aunt’s rustic Ozarks home, telling fortunes over playing cards and trying to pass as white. But the treacherous Mississippi River childhood her mama dragged her away from finally catches up to her on a steamboat captained by her old friend Rory Campbell.

Known to his crew as the Devil’s Henchman, Rory is a gambler in need of a miracle. Following the cold trail of his boss’s wife and bastard daughter, Dell, Rory has only one goal in mind: saving his crew from the boss’s cruelty by ruining him. The only one who can defeat the Monster of the Mississippi is the man trained to take his place. Rory’s convinced he can lure his boss into a high-stakes game against a rival, and with Dell’s people-reading skills, the monster will lose everything.

Under Rory’s tutelage and protection, Dell agrees to the tortured captain’s plan. Passion and peril quickly bring them together as lovers. But when Rory’s plan goes awry, the lives of the innocent depend on Dell’s ability to read the situation correctly—and hopefully save them all.

Product Warnings
There’s not enough moonshine on the Mississippi to keep this fortuneteller from saving The Devil’s Henchman, a high-stakes gambler—and her childhood friend—from his boss’s cruel attentions. Touches upon issues of child abuse, revenge, and redemption.

Shadows of Fate by Angela Dennis - $0.99
Samhain // Amazon US // ARe // Google // Kobo // B&N

Redemption lies beyond the veil between truth and lies.

Shadow Born, Book 1

After witnessing her husband’s brutal murder, Brenna Baudouin lost control of her Shadow Bearer powers and wreaked havoc on her home world. Her penance: one hundred years policing hordes of supernatural misfits that spilled onto the Earthly plane after a cataclysmic war.

She’s on a routine exorcism run when she learns she’s been assigned a new partner. But there’s something about this Shadow Bearer that sparks her suspicions. Particularly when people closest to her start turning up as piles of ash.

Gray Warlow holds tight to the glamour that allows him to get close to the woman on whom he plans to wreak vengeance for betraying his people. Yet as he skillfully manipulates his way past her distrust, he begins to see her not as the heartless monster he was led to believe, but a strong, vulnerable woman.

As they work to put together the pieces of a killer’s macabre puzzle, an attraction deeper than blood and bone flares between them. And they must reveal their deepest secrets to avoid becoming the final targets.

Checking in:

I haven't read a book in a long time. This may be the longest I can remember. I haven't bought anything either. So much moving and startup costs. We stayed at my brother's house and I use the term house lightly. It was more like a gutted house with a piece together room with no heat or a/c and barely put together bathroom with a tub so tall I couldn't get into it without my hubby helping me. I'm 5'5 and I have to say his tub is about 3 and half feet tall. It was hell on earth. Who knew how filthy that place was as Stephanie Plum once said I took a shower until I was boiled red like a lobster once we left. I trashed anything that couldn't be washed so pet beds had to go.

We finally found an apartment and started moving in 2 days ago. So far I got my bed, laptop and internet. The rest will have to wait as hubby is working a factory job during the week. We have A/C! No central air but the A/C seems to work well in this 1 bedroom apartment. It's 82F out and about 72F in here. It has washer and dryer hookups so now I have to save up for pair as we sold ours when we moved to Raleigh. The cats love it as they have two big windows to look out of. So slowly getting moved in and things starting to feel more normal so hopefully I can get back to my reading soon.

I plan to get my library card next week.

[library addict]

Yay! So glad things are the upswing for you. And a new library card is always something to celebrate

[basschick]

Blossom - thanks for the fyi, and so glad to hear you're in an apartment... even better, one with windows for the cats and A/C. hope your new life starts to feel normal soon

[Blue2u]

Blossom, glad things are looking up for you and you're settling in.


NA, $1.99 Bad Romeo - Leisa Rayven

Spoiler:

While performing the greatest love story of all time, they discovered one of their own...

Cassie Taylor was just another acting student with big dreams at her prestigious performing arts college, then she met Ethan Holt. She was the good girl actress. He was the bad boy on campus. But one fated casting choice for Romeo and Juliet changed it all. Like the characters they were playing on stage, Cassie and Ethan's epic romance seemed destined. Until it ended in tragedy when he shattered her heart.

Now they've made it to Broadway where they're reunited as romantic leads once again, and their passionate scenes force them to confront the heartbreaking lows and pulse-pounding highs of their intense college affair. For Ethan, losing Cassie was his biggest regret, and he's determined to redeem himself. But for Cassie, even though Ethan was her first and only great love, he hurt her too much to ever be trusted again. The trouble is, working with him reminds her that people who rub each other the wrong way often make the best sparks. And when it comes to love, sometimes it's the things that aren't good for us that are the most irresistible.

Don't miss the intoxicating romance beloved by over two million fans online--a story that will captivate you and hold you breathless until the final page.
