It’s time for another multi-author free book blast! Stuff your e-reader with a huge selection of romances. This is a great chance to find a new author or series!
You’ll find The Christmas Conquest and The Beauty Bride among today’s offerings.
The Christmas Conquest, book one of the Ladies’ Essential Guide to the Art of Seduction series of Regency romances, is free through the end of May. If you haven’t begun this series yet, now’s the perfect opportunity – book six, The Duke’s Desire, will be published in May.
I’ve changed the price in my online store as well as at the retailers. Although I added the epilogue, Upon a Midnight Clear, into the book file a year and a half ago, it appears that Amazon is still delivering the original file. (People are still downloading the epilogue.) So, if you’d like both book and epilogue in one file, get the copy for your Kindle from my online store.
Also, I’m learning how to do cool things in the store – for example, if you put The Christmas Conquest in your cart, then go to your cart, you’ll see an offer to buy the rest of the series to date at a discounted price. This bundle will be delivered as individual books, but they’ll all be delivered at the same time. I really like this and will set up more of these offers in future.
The store is set up in Canadian dollars. It also detects the location of your ISP and will invite you to change the displayed currency based on that location. Instead of me setting territorial prices, they’ll be converted in real time. I’m curious to see how well that works out or whether it will need a tweak.
Love was not part of the plan when this marriage was arranged…
Rhys Bettencourt, Baron Trevelaine, had every intention of avoiding his family’s curse. An arranged marriage to a plain bluestocking of fortune should have ensured the provision of at least one heir. After all, it was beloved Bettencourt wives who always died in childbirth. But practical Catherine undermined her husband’s scheme by stealing his heart. The only way for Rhys to protect her is to deny them both physical satisfaction, against his own desires.
Catherine Carruthers was content to wed for practical considerations and accept an arranged marriage to please her family. Two years later, though, Catherine is certain that her dashing aristocrat of a husband regrets his choice and that her marriage will never be more. She accepts an invitation to Rockmorton Manor for Christmas to decide whether to leave Rhys and return to her father’s house. Upon arrival, though, Catherine discovers pages of sensual advice left in her room—as well as Rhys determined to convince her to stay. Can their marriage be saved?
Armed with information and with little to lose, Catherine embarks upon a campaign of seduction that Rhys is powerless to resist—even as he fears for Catherine’s fate if he surrenders to temptation. Caught between love and the wretched curse, can Rhys find a way to keep his cherished wife safely by his side?

Yesterday, I had a BookBub Featured Deal for One Knight Enchanted, the series starter for Rogues & Angels. It’s 99cents through the middle of March. Since it’s been on sale before, and has had a BBFD before, I thought it might make sense to try a different category. This time, it went out in Paranormal Romance – last time, it went out in Historical Romance. Results are always lower the second time, but I’m pleased. Let’s have a look.
At Amazon.com, One Knight Enchanted rose to #2 and #3 in its categories, and #1041 overall paid in the Kindle store.
At Amazon.ca, it rose a little higher to # overall paid in the Kindle store.
At Nook, Rolfe and Annelise’s story earned a bestseller ribbon.
One Knight Enchanted reached #36 overall paid in ebooks at Nook:
And #10 in romance:
At KOBO, One Knight Enchanted is #14 in paranormal romance and #17 in historical romance this morning.
At Apple, Rolfe and Annelise’s story is #75 overall paid this morning.
And #16 in Romance:
One Knight Enchanted remains on sale for the next two weeks, so if you haven’t started this series yet, now’s your chance to dive in.
Cursed to take the form of the wolf by day, Rolfe de Viandin is skeptical that love can save him. All he wants is to return home from crusade by the Yule and even the pleasures of a magical palace cannot console him…until a beautiful and bold maiden arrives at his gates, seeking sanctuary, and Rolfe’s hope is restored.
Hunted in the forest, Annelise de Sayerne has to surrender her desire to wed for love, as the price of entering the only refuge is marriage to its enigmatic lord. She fears he must be a monster, but once she experiences his kindness, Annelise resolves to find love with her new husband—if she can just claim his heart.
Even as Rolfe is beguiled by his bride and Annelise unravels his secrets, a spurned suitor pursues Annelise, determined to claim her legacy at any price. If Rolfe’s curse is not broken, how can he defend his beloved wife from the villain? Will their future be lost before it is truly won—or will Rolfe be convinced of the power of love in time?

Today’s the day for the YOLO with KOBO Plus romance binge multi-author promotion!
KOBO Plus is a subscription program, much like Kindle Unlimited – you pay a flat monthly fee when you subscribe and can read as much as you want. The big difference on my end is that books don’t have to be exclusive to KOBO to be enrolled in the program, which makes it win-win.
This promotion features a lot (over 400) romances that are enrolled in KOBO Plus right now. Although the promotion is inspired by the BookWorms promo, in this case, the books are enrolled in KOBO Plus for more than one day. That said, it’s a great way for you to discover new authors, new series and new reads, and KOBO has their own landing page in support of that.
You’ll find The Champions of St. Euphemia bundle on the historical romance landing page.
