Three Free Books from Samhain

Samhain publishing has been having some of their books as free downloads in the Kindle store for several months and recently at Books on Board. No word yet if they plan to do the same this month, but I did find three books on their website that are free to download and in multiple formats, so that all ebook readers can try them out. Maybe they've decided to skip the retailers completely this time? In any case, make sure you check out the warnings from the book descriptions (included here, but not on the download page), before downloading.

Last Chance, My Love ($4.40 Kindle), by Lynne Connolly, was free in the Kindle store last February, so some of you may already have it hiding in your archives. This is the first in the Triple Countess series.

Synopsis
What if you're in love -- but you can't make love?

Miranda and Daniel, Earl and Countess of Rosington, are in love, but for the past five years their love has been purely platonic. Because if Miranda has another child, she will die. Daniel resolves to take a mistress, one who will understand the purely physical business arrangement, but when Miranda discovers his plan, she can't bear it. So Daniel's brothers scheme, and Daniel finds himself on the losing end of a wager.

Daniel and Miranda must pose as a simple innkeeper and his wife, forced to work together to save a failing business. Their masquerade brings them into temptation, their searing desire for each other threatening to ruin their good intentions, but it also brings danger, in the presence of the brutal father of a young girl who turns for them for help.

Can Daniel and Miranda save themselves, their protege and their marriage?

Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex.


Seeing Eye Mate ($3.60 Kindle), by Annmarie McKenna, is one I haven't seen available for free before. This is the first in the Mates series.

Book Description
He's a shape-shifting wolf, she's a psychic and his other half. In order to catch a killer he has to rely on his Seeing Eye Mate. Caelan Graham is on the hunt for a shape-shifter bent on killing female mates. As Prime, it's Caelan's duty to protect his entire pack, so it's a good thing he doesn't have a mate of his own to look after right now. Too bad the most alluring female has just walked past his nose. As a clairvoyant, Tieran Jones has given up on men and their lack of understanding her gift -- until Caelan. The man ignites her passion, sets off a vision of a gruesome wolf attack, then shows up in her bed. In wolf form. To top it all off, he keeps insisting she's his mate.

When the attacks continue, Tieran's visions evolve and point in one direction. Caelan's twin brother. With a lack of physical evidence, Caelan must depend on Tieran's sight for clues. An act making her a prime target.

Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, and violence.


Truth and Consequences ($4.40 Kindle), by Linda Winfree, has also been free in the Kindle store, this time nearly a year ago, in October. This is the first in the Hearts of the South series.

Book Description
For undercover FBI agent Jason Harding, coming face to face with the grown-up version of his adolescent dreams is a nightmare. Kathleen Palmer sees him as a despicably corrupt small-town law officer and a murder suspect. Trapped in a web of his own making, he must see his mission through to the end and bring down the crooked cops who've run Haynes County for decades. To do so, he must betray the only family he's ever known and fight his growing love for Kathleen, a relationship that could get one, or both of them, killed.

Determined to uncover the truth, Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent Kathleen struggles with her attraction to the one person who's awakened her since she buried her heart and emotions in her son's tiny grave. Listening to her heart could destroy all she has left in life - her career and reputation. When the truth about Jason's identity surfaces, they both face unimaginable consequences: Jason may lose his life and Kathleen the man she loves.

Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, violence.
