Free (nook/Kindle/iTunes/Sony) Thief by Anitra Lynn McLeod [Space Opera Romance]

ATDrake · 04-01-2012, 11:58 AM

Thief, 1st in The Fringe series of sci-fi space opera romances by Anitra Lynn McLeod, is free courtesy of publisher Samhain. ARE says only 2 flames on the heat index, so probably much more plotty than steamy. Although the phrase "cook-whore contract" makes it sound like someone's been reading way too much Heinlein, and not the good Heinlein, either.

Currently free @ B&N and Amazon (available to Canadians but surprisingly not in the UK this time, yet). Will probably show up at Sony, since they seem to get these things now (although Sony's been really lax about putting up the multi-distributed freebies they used to get and the other stores still do, so maybe the price-changing bobble-birds have gone on strike).

Description
On the edge of freedom lies a dangerous love.

Nothing has ever come easy for Jace Lawless, captain of the salvage vessel Mutiny. Forced into thievery after a virus unleashed by the InnerWorld Government killed his family, only one ambition burns at the back of his mind. Kill the next IWOG officer he has at his mercy.

Bargaining over goods with a middleman isn’t exactly his strong suit. But who in his right mind spends an entire salvage job’s profits on a woman, even if she has a body built for sin and eyes so fathomless a man could lose himself in them? He must be getting soft.

Once Kraft realizes Jace expects only the “cook” part of their cook-whore contract, she sets out to change his antiquated ideas about women. A challenge she relishes, especially if it earns her the freedom and money to get her own ship. Her big mistake is letting down her guard.

Shameless flirting only intensifies the itch to ride Jace hard and put him away wet—several times. It’s an itch it would be dangerous to scratch. Exposing her heart could reveal her secret, one that the still-grieving Jace must never know…or showing her mercy will be the last thing on his mind.

Warning: Contains a celibate ship captain who can’t abide swearing, a kick-ass woman with a marshmallow heart, a motley crew of misfits, interstellar battles, thwarted groping, sensual seduction, and a total bastard who owns his own planet.

Now dropped to free @ Amazon UK.

Samhain's website says this is also free @ iTunes (not available to Canadians).

Apparently this did drop to free @ Sony (but not available to Canadians as usual, unless the price-updating bobble-birds have found a new and exciting way to mess things up now that Sony's switched to charging Canadians in Canadian dollars).

Suggested title update that will fit:
