An Order of Coffee and Tears, by Brian Spangler. (Still free?)

Today, get Brian Spangler's touching story of family and suspense, lovingly set in Angela's Cafe.

"This is my book for 2012!" -- My Web Visions

"It's definitely a small world, and Brian Spangler paints this so well within Angela's Diner. It's a place that everyone could dream about, wishing there was just such a place right around the corner from your own home, in your own small town." -- Jennifer Moss

"Even if you don't relate directly to the character, you can still empathize with her plight and it makes for a good read." -- Lee's Opinion


A New Contemporary Women's Fiction

Angela's Diner has the reputation of a safe haven where patrons find a moment of peace as they linger over coffee and tears. For one young runaway, Angela's is more than a place to tell your tale -- it's a place where with the magic of chicken and waffles, and a little bit of trust, may just save your life.

Gabriella Santiago used to be a typical teenager who enjoyed the usual teenage things. That is until a single tragic day ended who she was and within hours she ran from home, never to look back.

Only when Gabby is cold, hungry and at her lowest, does she find Angela's Diner. Gabby embraces her new life and the family she has found in the midst of strangers and obscurity.

Acceptance is what she craves, but before long, Gabby realizes she's not the only one in the diner with something to hide. Her new family has a secret too, and some secrets refuse to stay buried.

Historical Romance Boxed Set, by Brenda Novak. (Still free?)

600 pages of highly-rated romance are free for you today, in this boxed set of 2 stories from Brenda Novak!

"A wonderful love story full of adventure, action and romance!" New York Times Bestselling Author Madeline Hunter on HONOR BOUND

Boxed set of two historical romance novels from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Brenda Novak, including:

OF NOBLE BIRTH

He was a man who took what he wanted. And he wanted her.

To escape her cruel stepfather, seamstress Alexandra Cogsworth envisioned sailing far from England...though not as a captive aboard a pirate's ship.

Pirate captain Nathaniel Kent's strategy for exacting revenge on his coldhearted father involved taking a valuable hostage...not a seamstress he mistakenly thinks is his half sister.

Yet fate has designs of its own, landing them both on board the Royal Vengeance. At sea, Nathaniel intercepts and plunders his father's ships, all the while tormented by his illicit hunger for the tempting prisoner he thinks is his blood relation. And although Alexandra wants no part in this terrifying voyage, to reveal her true identity to the handsome, blue-eyed Nathaniel would invite danger. Not only would she become worthless cargo, but the revelation would surely unleash what she and Nathaniel have been fiercely battling--a rising undercurrent of impossible desire that could sweep them away for good.

HONOR BOUND

To some men honor is just a word...


Jeannette Boucher, a young French beauty from a family left penniless by the revolution, must marry against her will to save them all from ruin. But almost immediately after the vows are spoken, she learns that her old English husband is impotent - and in his desire for an heir, he plans to compromise her in the worst way.

Determined to escape such a fate, she stows away on one of His Majesty's frigates. But a woman alone is in constant danger.

To Lieutenant Treynor, honor means everything.


Born a bastard to a wayward marquise, Lieutenant Crawford Treynor was given to a poor farmer to raise and was maltreated until he ran away to join the Royal Navy. Treynor is determined to prove he's as good as any other man and rise to captain his own frigate. But once he finds Jeannette aboard The Tempest he must decide whether to return her to the man he knows would abuse her - or risk everything, even his life, to keep her safe.

599 pages, with a 4.6-star rating from 21 reviews.



Best Friends and Bastards, by Jaci Byrne. (Still free?)

Part drama, part romance, part humor, and 100% free.

"I really enjoyed this book. Jaci Byrne writes with the confidence of a bestselling author. I wish her much success and hope she writes many more novels. The story made me laugh in places and drew a tear or two in others. It was a good blend of comedy and drama and it was filled with memorable characters. Plus, thanks to this book, I don't think I'll ever be able to listen to Steve Miller's "The Joker" again without cracking a smile. " -- Perry Martin, Amazon reviewer


Angie Romeo is living the Australian dream. With a wealthy and loving husband, good friends, a caring (albeit domineering) mother, a luxury apartment on the beach, and a fulfilling career, she should not want for anything - although...

Sure, like any of us, she has a few niggling worries - like crumbs crunching underfoot on the kitchen floor just as the guests are arriving. But crumbs can be quickly swept under the kitchen mat before popping the champagne and ushering in the visitors. Can't they?


Especially for visitors who are best friends and family. After all, best friends and family would never let you down... Right?
 

However, when Angie's perfect world starts to crash, some of the people on whom she thought she could depend appear to be right bastards. And some of the right bastards could just become her best friends or maybe even lovers.

In order to learn who is who, she just has to learn to stop sweeping things under the carpet and follow the process: The process of life.

The Medium, by CJ Archer. (Still free?)

Handsome ghosts and Victorian mediums await you in this first book in the Emily Chambers Spirit Medium Trilogy.

"A paranormal romance in a Victorian Setting. If you like Jayne Ann Krentz (Jayne Castle), you will like this book - while the author does not imitate Krentz's rather formulaic style, the period setting and focus on relationships works very well. Two single sisters are trying to make it in England, in a time where mediums are the craze and charlatans abound. Single women must be careful to protect their reputations while crossing the private/public line and working for pay. Possibilities for romance do exist, but can they be fulfilled? I do not want to give any spoilers here, but I really enjoyed this book: the narrative flowed nicely, and in contrast to many self-published works it rad well. If you like the genre, or know anyone who does, this book is highly recommended. " -- Kelli, Amazon reviewer


Seventeen year-old spirit medium Emily Chambers has a problem. Actually, she has several. As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her.

Jacob Beaufort's spirit has been unable to crossover since his death. It might have something to do with the fact he was murdered. Or it might not. All he knows is, he has been assigned by the Otherworld's administrators to a girl named Emily. A girl who can see and touch him. A girl who released a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. Together they must send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on London. It should be a simple assignment, but they soon learn there's nothing simple when a live girl and a dead boy fall in love.

261 pages, with a 4.4-star rating from 8 reviews.



No Shelter (#1) A Post-Apocalyptic Love Story (No Shelter Trilogy), by T.S. Welti. (Still free?)

Enter the No Shelter trilogy with this free Sci-Fi offering today!

"Nada, a 17 year old high school student, is suddenly struggling just to exist because of a worldwide environmental catastrophe. Her mother is killed when the only shelter they had is burned down, and she befriends a rugged outcast who saved her from near death at the hands of the dreaded Guardians.

"We follow her through her inner and external conflicts in this first person account of life after all society seems to have collapsed. The plot twists and turns as Nada deals with how to handle her feelings for two guys in her clan and keeping a promise to those who depend on her. The colorful characters and the vivid scenery make this a delightful read." -- C. Stone, Amazon reviewer


When the environment is ravaged by rising sea levels and monstrous storms, America is divided and survival becomes more precious than love.

When Nada and Isaac stumble upon a stranger in the woods, their cozy alliance, and romance, begins to unravel as this stranger promises them the impossible in exchange for helping him rescue his sister from the last corner of civilization in the western United States.

But this rescue operation is wrought with complications, which put everyone's life at risk, especially Isaac--the one person who has always been there for Nada. Now Nada and her small tribe must choose between a somewhat comfortable existence in the mountains and the chance at a life free of fear and starvation.
