Ever since photographer Lacy Maguire caught her ex playing Pin the
Secretary to the Elevator Wall, she's been content with her dog Fabio,
her three cats, and a vow of chastity. But all of that changes when the
reindeer-antlered Fabio drags in a very desperate, on-the-run detective
who decides to take refuge in her house -- a house filled with twinkling
lights and a decorated tree. (Okay, so it's February, but she has a
broken heart to mend, a Christmas-card shoot to do, and a six-times
divorced, match-making mother to appease.) For the first time in a
looooong while, Lacy reconsiders her vow. Because sexy Chase Kelly,
wounded soul that he may be, would be an oh-so-delicious way of breaking
her fast. Now, if she can just keep them both alive and him out of
jail....

FREE -- US ONLY Kindle Edition -- Divorced, Desperate and Delicious (Divorced and Desperate) by Christie Craig
FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- Thief: Fringe, Book 1 by Anitra Lynn McLeod
On the edge of freedom lies a dangerous love.
Fringe, Book 1
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.
