Desperate Bachelor
Ben Danvers was about to lose
everything―unless he found a woman willing to become his wife. The terms
of his grandfather's will were outrageous, but they were ironclad. Just
when Ben was about to give up all hope, the last woman he ever expected
to wed made a startling proposal.
Bargaining Bride
Chelsea
Carson offered Ben a deal he couldn't refuse. He could keep the family
fruit orchard if he would make her one and only dream come true. But
there were to be no strings attached, no messy emotions when it was
over. Their makeshift marriage would be perfect―unless Chelsea allowed
love to bungle the plan.
His Wife for a While was previously published by Harlequin™ and has been updated, edited and expanded by 10,000 words.

FREE -- Kindle UK Edition ONLY -- His Wife for a While by Donna Fasano
FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- FRAMED by Scott Strosahl
When a hostage situation at a small Midwest bank results in no suspects,
two Des Moines police officers learn that things are never what they
appear to be when all the evidence points to one suspect… until it
points to another.
Thirty-two people have been held hostage at
the Midland Savings and Loan, and $1.2 million is missing, but when the
police take the building, there are no robbers, only hostages. On their
first case together, Officers Riley and Weathers feel confident they
have their man until everything comes crashing down around them. Quickly
recovering from their mistakes, they start to put together the pieces
of a complicated plot perpetrated by the robber to frame himself. But
can they convince the prosecutor, the judge, and the jury that they have
it right this time? Can they even convince each other?

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- Die, Lover, Die! by Joel Goldman, Lee Goldberg, Dave Zeltserman, Harry Shannon, Vicki Hendricks, Bill Crider, Paul Levine, Ed Gorman, Max Allan Collins
Lauren Blaine is on the run...fleeing across the country, pursued by a pack of ruthless, skilled, and psychopathic killers.
That's because she's dumped her husband and he hasn't taken it well.
Of
course, he might have taken it better if he wasn't a major drug dealer
with a gale-force temper... and if she hadn't run off with all of his
cash.
Now she's marked-for-death, a moving target for every mercenary, hitman, and sadist in the midwest.
What
they don't know is that Lauren is nobody's victim... she's a
resourceful, brave, and cunning woman who won't go down without a fight.
This is 10,000 words of non-stop action, violence and sex...a
wild ride like nothing else you've read before...from twelve masters of
suspense, who teamed up to write this rollicking story 250 rapid-fire
words at a time, tag-team style, without an outline, without knowing
what was coming next. The result is a pure, literary adrenaline rush.
(Part 1 of Die, Lover, Die! was previously published in Top Suspense: 13 Classic Stories by 12 Masters of the Genre).

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- Falling for You (Pearl Island Trilogy) by Julie Ortolon
Oliver Chancellor is a blue-blooded banker whose perfectly orchestrated
life plan includes a comfortable career and a socially prominent (if not
very exciting) future wife. Then sexy Aurora St. Claire enlists him to
help her obtain financing for her dream: turning a mysterious Galveston
mansion, which is part of her colorful family heritage, into a bed and
breakfast. Passion ignites over the loan application, but Chance can't
see impetuous, earthy and iconoclastic Rory fitting into his orderly
existence. Meanwhile, Rory discovers that she's fallen in love with
Chance and become pregnant, neither of which she's ready to admit to
this unavailable man. Only when Chance becomes a partner in the inn and
begins to see the emptiness of his glittering future can the couple come
together in a happy ending that arrives after just the right amount of
drama. A legend of a long-ago love and haunting runs throughout the
book, adding a nice touch of melancholy to a tale as sunny as its Texas
setting. With its well-balanced blend of comic exaggeration and genuine
heart, Ortolon's story is a light but thoroughly satisfying romantic
confection.

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- Tell No One by Sarah Cooper
When I look in the mirror now I don’t see the terrified child who was
systematically abused, both mentally and physically. If you passed me in
the street, you wouldn’t notice either. You might see the small scar on
my neck that was inflicted by a knife being pressed to my throat. You
might notice a lump on my left wrist where the bones didn’t heal
properly after it was fractured. You might notice small scars on my arms
where I was used as a live ashtray. But you won’t see the scars that
are deep inside me – the ones which take a lifetime to heal. They’re
ingrained in me, trapped under the surface like fish under a frozen
lake, waiting for the moment when the surface cracks and they can come
to life again. These mental scars are the demons that haunted me when I
was at my lowest point. They came out to torment me, rearing their ugly
head in the darkness. Then they would retreat again for a time, making
me think I’d got over what happened to me, only to show up when I least
expected it. But with every year that passed, I learnt how to handle the
demons more. Every sick and twisted thing that happened in my childhood
has made me into the woman I am today. I’m a survivor.
My name is Sarah and this is my story…
