Books Under a Buck, Part I

Today's books are all from Harlequin and all but one are romances (a couple are romantic suspense); one is exactly a dollar and all the rest are under.

Tell me in the comments ... do you prefer themed blog posts, where all the books are a specific genre (Romance, Fantasy, SciFi, etc.) or price (under $1, Under $3, etc)? Or do you want to know about bargains as I find them, regardless? I ask because I often stumble onto bargain priced books, but hold off on including them until I have several to make up a post. Sometimes, as a result, prices go up before the book makes it to the blog.

Primary Directive ($0.82), by Don Pendleton

Book Description
STONY MAN

Direct action is the President's best option when America stands in the crosshairs of terrorism. The covert counterinsurgent team known as Stony Man gets the green light to strike hard and fast--no red tape, no political stalemates, just results. When the world goes to hell, the warriors of Stony Man take the heat to ensure the enemy gets no second chances.

HAZARDOUS DEPLOYMENT

Stony Man intelligence has picked up chatter about something bigger than any terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Now it's zero hour and the agency has dispatched operatives on two fronts: Panama and the Mexican border, where al Qaeda is using drug pipelines willing to accommodate cash payers to funnel terrorists into the country. It's clear the operation has been in the planning stages for a long time, with moles deep inside the U.S. security net. Now the only questions remaining are when and where the attack will take place. And how Stony Man is going to stop it...
