FREE -- Kindle UK Edition ONLY -- His Wife for a While by Donna Fasano

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 -- 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…

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- The Lion, the Lamb, the Hunted: A Psychological Thriller by Andrew E. Kaufman

From Andrew E. Kaufman, author of the #1 bestseller, While the Savage Sleeps...

SHE ONLY STEPPED OUTSIDE FOR A MINUTE...

But a minute was all it took to turn Jean Kingsley's world upside down--a minute she'd regret for the rest of her life. 
 

 


STEPPING INTO HER WORST NIGHTMARE...
 


Because when she returned, she found an open bedroom window and her three-year-old son, Nathan, gone. The boy would never be seen again. 
 




A NIGHTMARE THAT ONLY BECAME WORSE.

A tip leads detectives to the killer, a repeat sex offender, and inside his apartment, a gruesome discovery. A slam-dunk trial sends him off to death row, then several years later, to the electric chair. 
 





CASE CLOSED. JUSTICE SERVED...OR WAS IT?

Now, more than thirty years later, Patrick Bannister unwittingly stumbles across evidence among his dead mother's belongings--it paints her as the killer and her brother, a wealthy and powerful senator, as the one pulling the strings.


WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO NATHAN KINGSLEY?
 


There's a hole in the case a mile wide, and Patrick is determined to close it. But what he doesn't know is that the closer he moves toward the truth, the more he's putting his life on the line, that he’s become the hunted. Someone's hiding a dark secret and will stop at nothing to keep it that way.

The clock is ticking, the walls are closing, and the stakes are getting higher as he races to find a killer--one who's hot on his trail. One who's out for his blood.
