- The Perfect 10 Diet (K/N/E/P)
The Darkest Night ($0.99), the "second" title in the Lords of the Underworld series by Gena Showalter, is today's Kindle Deal of the Day. If you are just starting the series, you might want the prequel novella, The Darkest Fire ($2.51), but you can just start with the novel and not miss much.
Book Description
All her life, Ashlyn Darrow has been tormented by voices from the past. To end the nightmare, she has come to Budapest seeking help from men rumored to have supernatural abilities, not knowing she'll be swept into the arms of Maddox, their most dangerous member--a man trapped in a hell of his own.
Neither can resist the instant hunger that calms their torments...and ignites an irresistible passion. But every heated touch and burning kiss will edge them closer to destruction--and a soul-shattering test of love....
The Cybelene Conspiracy ($1.54 / £0.99 UK), by Albert Noyer, is the Kindle Deal of the day for those in the UK (the US edition is $7.99, but can be borrowed from the KLL).
Book Description
A eunuch archpriest and an unscrupulous senator smuggle products from China to Italy that will change the course of western history.
Surgeon Getorius Asterius, his wife Arcadia, the eunuch archpriest of a pagan fertility cult, the female head of a heretical Arian church, and an ambitious senator in league with a Chinese merchant: these are the prime movers in this mystery set in Ravenna, Italy, in A.D. 440. When Getorius is summoned to examine the castrated body of a youth found by Thecla in her Arian church, who is the sobbing "Vestal Virgin" nearby? Why is the senator smuggling counterfeit Western coins to the Eastern Empire, and contraband Chinese products back to Ravenna? Thecla's coded message leads to a secret tunnel and the sinister temple of Cybele, whose devotees are self-mutilated eunuchs. In a stunning climax, the conspirators try to escape Ravenna, planning to sell one product in Egypt, but failing to recognize the far more deadly nature of the other.
The Winter Sea ($1.99 Kindle, B&N), by Susanna Kearsley, is the Nook Daily Find, price matched on Kindle (and the lowest price I've seen on it, so far).
Book DescriptionToday's backlist/indie free books on Kindle:
History has all but forgotten...
In the spring of 1708, an invading Jacobite fleet of French and Scottish soldiers nearly succeeded in landing the exiled James Stewart in Scotland to reclaim his crown.
Now, Carrie McClelland hopes to turn that story into her next bestselling novel. Settling herself in the shadow of Slains Castle, she creates a heroine named for one of her own ancestors and starts to write.
But when she discovers her novel is more fact than fiction, Carrie wonders if she might be dealing with ancestral memory, making her the only living person who knows the truth-the ultimate betrayal-that happened all those years ago, and that knowledge comes very close to destroying her...
