Never Dare a Duke ($1.99), by Gayle Callen [HarperCollins]
Book Description
An indecent proposal
Abigail Shaw is a proper young lady, hardly the sort to boldly offer a deal to London's most distinguished and perfect duke. But Abigail, desperate to save her father's newspaper business, is after a good scandal. She'd have the sensational headlines that would keep the ton talking—and the family business thriving—if only she could uncover the secrets of Christopher Cabot, the Duke of Madingley. What better way than a pretend romance? Yet, with all his seductive glances and stolen caresses, she somehow has to keep from succumbing to temptation.
Christopher finds Abigail—and her proposal—intriguing. A fake romance with the stunning commoner would allow him time to choose a suitable wife from among the would-be duchesses nipping at his heels. It seems like a perfect plan ... as long as he can keep her from uncovering his one deep, dark secret. But as he falls for the cunning beauty, he will be tempted to reveal all—his secret, his heart, and his soul.

Heaven's Spite ($4.99), the fifth Jill Kismet novel by Lilith Saintcrow [Hachette], with the companion audiobook for $3.49. I'm highlighting this title, even though the rest of the series is also under $5 apiece, as it's the only one I'm missing in the series. These are generally classified as Urban Fantasy or Paranormal Romance, although the romance portion of the books is generally only a small part. If you are missing more than one title, though, splurge and get Jill Kismet: The Complete Series, currently marked down to $8.89 (from $20), as you just can't beat that price to get all six titles at once. The only downside is that it doesn't give you Whispersync with any of the audiobooks in the series.
