To Taste Temptation ($1.99), by Elizabeth HoytBook Description
The ton loves nothing more than a good scandal, and they're giddy with the appearance of wealthy Samuel Hartley. Not only is he self-made, American, and in the habit of wearing moccasins, but he is also notorious for fleeing a battle in which several English gentlemen lost their lives. What the ton doesn't know, though, is that Samuel is in London because of this massacre. He believes his regiment was given up to the enemy and won't rest until he finds the traitor.
Lady Emeline Gordon is captivated with Samuel. Not only does he defy convention with his unusual dress, his sensual smile, and his forthright manner, but he survived the battle that killed her beloved brother. Samuel suspects that the person responsible for her brother's death is Jasper Renshaw, Viscount Vale, a family friend since childhood--and Emeline's fiancé. Despite Emeline's belief in Vale's innocence and her refusal to break off her betrothal, she and Samuel begin a passionate affair. But can their relationship survive the fallout from Samuel's investigation?

Posh ($1.96), by Lucy JacksonBook Description
It’s a world of over-the-top entitlement and tribal customs, a world of surface interactions and deep needs—a world of private schools and privilege. Griffin is a preparatory school on Manhattan’s Upper East Side with the best students—and the richest parent body—the city has to offer. The emotionally charged lives of the teenagers and adults that collide and intersect at Griffin include those of:
- Kathryn “Lazy” Hoffman is the headmistress at the Griffin School, in the midst of an affair she almost can’t remember why she started. Lazy ministers to children, but her cross to bear is the parents—especially those who wonder why their little darlings aren’t going to Harvard
- Michael Avery, smart driven, and clearly on the fast track to Cambridge, but so troubled that he becomes a burden to his girlfriend
- Julianne Coopersmith, a sweetly compassionate child of divorce who happily wears designer hand-me-downs from her best friend, and adores Michael even in the face of his neediness and meltdowns
- Susan Avery, who is detached from her brilliant but tortured son, and finds it’s easier to love her Chinese Crested Hairless than her own child
- Dee Coopersmith, whose life driving a cab couldn’t be a bigger contrast to the rest of the parent body at Griffin, but whose sense of self and fierce protection of her daughter have unexpected consequences
Blessed Are the Cheesemakers ($2.99), by Sarah-Kate LynchBook Description
Set on a small Irish dairy farm, this tender and funny debut novel follows two lost souls as they try to carve out new lives amid a colorful cast of characters reminiscent of those in the hit film Waking Ned Divine. Abby has been estranged from the family farm since her rebellious mother ran off with her when she was a small child. Kit is a burned out New York stockbroker who's down on his luck. But that's all about to change, now that he and Abby have converged on the farm just in time to help Corrie and Fee, two old cheesemakers in a time of need. Full of delightful and quirky characters--from dairy cows who only give their best product to pregnant, vegetarian teens to an odd collection of whiskey-soaked men and broken-hearted women who find refuge under Corrie and Fee's roof.
BLESSED ARE THE CHEESEMAKERS is an irresistible tale about taking life's spilled milk and turning it into the best cheese in the world.
Wrapped ($0.99), by Meryl McQueenBook Description
Set against a canvas of frenzied corporate New York City, a family farm in rural Ohio, a glass-and-chrome skyscraper in the medieval city of Milan, and a villa on the Ligurian coast, this a fast-paced story of ambition, displacement, loyalty, and love.
Twenty-two-year-old Andrea Carole is smart. Smart enough to ooze through a double math/economics degree at Cornell. Smart enough to duck serious relationships. Not smart enough to duck a dangerous romance with a handsome stranger thirty years her senior.
Across the Atlantic, Massimo Bassanini is in trouble. At fifty-three, used to wrangling his way in love, family, and corporate war, he’s a successful entrepreneur with a problem: he needs a new financial adviser, someone as driven and brilliant as he is. One phone call to New York, and the stage is set for a collision of cultures, generations, and desire.
