FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- Intentions of the Earl (Scandalous Sisters, Book 1) by Rose Gordon
Will he secure his future by ruining hers, or will she ruin his plans by
securing him? A new twist on the old fortune hunter plot puts an
impoverished earl in a position to gain his fortune only by ruining an
innocent's reputation without offering marriage. The innocent he's
selected, however, has no plans to settle for anything less than
marriage and will go to almost any length to secure him.
With
no other means for an income, the impoverished Andrew Black, Earl of
Townson, makes an agreement that will put a definite end to his eight
year poverty streak. But, in order to gain his fortune he must do only
one simple thing: ruin an innocent young lady’s reputation enough to
make her flee to America.
Brooke Banks isn’t interested in
marriage, or so she thinks. She came to London to have a good time, and
that’s exactly what she’s doing. Widely known for her tendency to flout
the rules, she suspects nothing when a handsome stranger appears on her
doorstep.
Thirteen days, a handful of kisses and one
scandalous situation later, Andrew and Brooke will have to choose to
stick to their original plans, or decide if a life together is worth the
risk.
***This is a full-length novel, approx. 100,000 words.

bestselling author Tess Gerritsen, author of The Silent Girl, a bizarre
death comes with a supernatural twist. Homicide cop Jane Rizzoli and
medical examiner Maura Isles have seen their fair share of mortal
crimes, but the death of Kimberly Rayner may qualify as inhuman in more
ways than one. When corpse of the emaciated seventeen-year-old girl is
discovered next to an empty coffin in an abandoned church, mysterious
bruises around the throat suggest foul play. Caught fleeing the scene is
the victim’s closest friend, Lucas Henry, an equally skeletal, pale
teenager who claims he’s guilty only of having a taste for blood—a
craving he shared with Kimberly. But the victim’s distraught father
doesn’t believe in vampires, only vengeance. And now, another life may
be at risk unless Rizzoli and Isles can uncover the astonishing truth.
Includes a special preview of Tess Gerritsen’s new Rizzoli & Isles
novel, The Silent Girl, on sale July 5. And don’t miss the season

Detective Daniel Kane is the self-proclaimed king of his castle, his
California beachfront home, and the iron fisted ruler of his subjects --
his wife, Catheryn, and his four children: Tommy, Travis, Allison, and
Nate. Hardened by years of law enforcement, he is determined to prepare
his children to face a harsh and violent world. With a relentless will
for perfection and scorn for anything less, Kane teaches them his rules
for success and provides a model for the essentials of survival:
strength, bravery, ambition, stoicism, and vengeance. He shows them
everything -- everything but what is in his heart.
Over the
course of a single shattering summer, each of Kane's children will be
forced to pay the price his standards demand, but the brunt of Kane's
fierce and exacting love will fall on Travis. Lacking the physical
prowess of his older brother Tommy, Travis confounds his father with
artistic "softness" and musical gifts. Yet in a devastating moment that
will change all the Kanes forever, it is Travis alone who will find the
courage to defy his father and, ultimately, to redeem him.
Set
against the sweeping backdrop of the California coast, "A Song for the
Asking" tells the story of a family not unlike your own . . .

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- The House of the Wicked (a psychological thriller combining mystery, murder, crime and suspense) by D. M. Mitchell
1880: Stephen Denning is an artist arriving in Porthgarrow. It is an
isolated Cornish fishing community, largely untouched by the modern,
developing Victorian world, hanging onto its old traditions,
superstitions and beliefs – a community that lives with a disturbing
secret. So too does Denning.
He is a reluctant visitor, and
though he is supposedly joining his one-time artist friend Terrance
Wilkinson to form an artists’ colony it is circumstances that force him
there. Denning is still haunted by the brutal death of a young woman in
Brittany, and shouldering guilt for the fact that he covered up for
Wilkinson when he suspects the man of having been been involved with the
murder.
But Porthgarrow is haunted by its own demons and
secrets. He learns about the savage murder of a woman by her husband
Jowan Connoch thirteen years previously, and of Jowan’s son who has
returned to Porthgarrow to uncover the truth and to clear his father’s
name.
Yet it is far from over. Before long three more people are
destined to die in Porthgarrow before the village gives up its sinister
secrets, and Stephen Denning will learn of his own family’s mysterious
involvement.
The house of the Wicked is peopled with larger than
life characters – the powerful businessman Gerran Hendra and his
beautiful daughter Jenna; the Reverend Biddle who collects photographs
of the dead; Benjamin Croker, the journalist; and Tunny, the village
wise man and healer.
From its atmospheric Gothic undertones to
its shocking and unexpected end, ‘The House of the Wicked’ is D. M.
Mitchell at his darkest and most imaginative best.
Some secrets will not stay buried...
