Today's Kindle Daily Deal is Shake Off ($2.99), by Mischa Hiller [Hachette].
Book Description
An internationally acclaimed thriller of love, espionage and subterfuge, in which Middle East meets West with dangerous consequences.

Years of training have transformed Michel Khoury into a skilled intelligence operative. A refugee whose family was murdered by extremists, he has one mission: the peaceful resolution of the Middle East conflict that upended his life.

An alluring enigma, he attracts the attention of Helen, a pretty English girl who lives in the adjacent apartment. As their relationship develops, Michel is unable to tell Helen about his past--or the collection of passports and unmarked bills he's concealed in the bathroom they share.

When Michel's secrets turn deadly, Helen and Michel find themselves pursued through the streets of London, Berlin and the Scottish countryside, on the run from the very people they thought they could trust.

A critically celebrated novel that "recalls the cool detachment and compelling eye for ordinary detail that characterized the early thrillers of Graham Greene" (Independent on Sunday), SHAKE OFF is that rare breed of riveting tale--of intrigue and suspense, love and betrayal--that announces a bold new voice for our increasingly global times.

Today's Kindle Romance Daily Deal is Rising Storm ($0.99), by Kathleen Brooks [indie], the USA Today Bestseller for all books on August 30th, 2012.
Book Description
Katelyn Jacks was used to being front and center as a model. But she never had to confront the Keeneston Grapevine! After retiring from the runway and returning to town to open a new animal clinic, Katelyn found that her life in the public eye was anything but over. While working hard to establish herself as the new veterinarian in town, Katelyn finds her life uprooted by a storm of love, gossip, and a vicious group of criminals.

Marshall Davies is the new Sheriff in Keeneston. He is also right at the top of the town's most eligible bachelor list. His affinity for teasing the hot new veterinarian in town has led to a rush of emotions that he wasn't ready for. Marshall finds his easy days of breaking up fights at the local PTA meetings are over when he and Katelyn discover that a dog-fighting ring has stormed into their normally idyllic town. As their love struggles to break through, they must battle to save the lives of the dogs and each other.

Today's Kindle SciFi/Fantasy Daily Deal is Werewolf Love Story Box Set ($0.99), by H.T. Night [indie]. With under 300 pages, I'd call this three novellas (not novels; I think these are normally overpriced, when sold individually); the better deal, though, is to skip the daily deal and get H.T. Night's 8-Book Vampire Box Set, which weighs in at over a thousand pages, includes all three of the novellas below, plus 5 others, and is only $2.99 right now.
Book Description

Today's Kindle Kids Daily Deal is Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat, Are You Going To Sleep? ($1.99), by Michael Sampson, Bill Martin Jr., Laura J Bryant and Laura J. Bryant (Illustrator) [Two Lions].
