First up this week, a free Scottish historical romance, MACFARLAND'S LASS by my Jewel sister Glynnis Campbell, Book 1 of her Scottish Lasses series. A young jeweler to Mary Queen of Scots becomes a fugitive and takes refuge in an abandoned church—where she finds herself at the mercy of a woodland huntsman. When forces conspire to turn Florie and Rane against each other, they'll need courage, wits, and, most of all, love to survive... Steamy. Regularly $4.99.
|
|
|
Our first 99¢ book this week is another Scottish historical romance, PRETENDER'S GAMES by Louise Clark, Book 1 of her Hearts of Rebellion series. A rebel in exile, James has the chance to return to his beloved Highlands, but his pardon comes at a cost: he must marry an Englishwoman. When headstrong Thea begins to fall for her new husband, she cannot forget that he's a rebel and an enemy of her country. Will love or loyalty prevail? Steamy. Regularly $6.99.
|
|
|
Next, a 99¢ book for fans of contemporary romance: BORROWED TIME by Edie Claire. When an enigmatic illness forces the normally self-sufficient Sarah to depend on someone—namely her charming do-gooder of a neighbor, Adam, whom she has been trying desperately to avoid—her carefully built defenses begin to crumble. Clean. Regularly $4.99.
|
|
|
And finally, our Fab New Romance of the week is a Scottish Regency romance, NEVER KISS A SCOT by Lauren Smith, the latest in her League of Rogues series. A proper English lady facing spinsterhood shares a midnight kiss with a brooding Scottish lord—and makes the rash decision to run off to Gretna Green with him against her family’s wishes. Steamy. Priced at $3.99.

Two Free Sweet & Clean Books from Devon & Me!

|
|
In this “wonderful read” (Romantic Times), Colin Chase, the Earl of Greystone, finds his carefully planned life turned upside down when the Great Fire of London lands a lowly jeweler's daughter in his arms.
THE EARL'S UNSUITABLE BRIDE is regularly $4.99, but this week it's free!

Lady Alexandra Chase has always liked being the perfect daughter. But when her brother’s best friend—her secret girlhood crush—returns from a long spell abroad, family duty and a flawless reputation suddenly seem less important than the chance, however slight, that he might notice her now that she’s all grown up…
The first novel in a “beguiling Regency trilogy” (Booklist), ALEXANDRA is regularly $4.99, but this week it's free!
