Meet 14-year-old Sean Malone. He has an IQ above 200, a full-ride scholarship to one of the country’s top universities, and more than one million dollars from his winning streak on Jeopardy. However, Sean wishes he could just be normal.

But his life is anything but normal. The US government manipulates him, using him as a codebreaker in pursuit of a drug lord and killing innocent people along the way.

For reasons related to his personal security, Sean finds himself in Rome, building a new life under a new name, abandoning academics, and hiding his genius from everyone. When he’s 18 he falls in love. The thrills begin again when he learns that his girlfriend is critically ill and it’s up to him to use his intellect to find a cure, a battle pitting him against a multi-billion-dollar pharmaceutical company and the demons of his past.

Elixir is a story about identity, secrets, and above all, love.

Complicated Creatures: Part One: in a Romantic Suspense Thriller Series, by Alexi Lawless. (Still 0.99?)

"Alexi Lawless is a brilliant writer! Her new emotionally charged provocative novel is filled with excitement, sensuality and suspense. Reading it left me breathless more than once, for a variety of reasons and left me wanting for more!" -- Don D. Mann, Best-Selling Author, Inside SEAL Team SIX, (Hunt series)

Ready for a powerful, take-no-prisoners heroine? Then this mesmerizing, action-packed series is for you . . .

Samantha Wyatt is the mastermind behind an elite protection agency in the heart of downtown Chicago. As a former U.S. military interrogator, she is no stranger to high-stakes, high-risk negotiations.

Because Jack Roman doesn’t want just one incredible night. He wants her

Jack Roman is a power player in Chicago’s real estate empire. He lives to work, loves to play, and makes no commitments—until he meets his match in the striking and elusive Samantha Wyatt. Intrigued by her self-possession and disarmed by a vulnerability she cannot hide, Jack pursues Samantha into her dangerous present only to run into her enigmatic past when she takes on the renowned war photographer Wesley Elliott as a client. The stakes are raised when Jack realizes the only woman he wants may be the one he cannot have...

Bullets of Palestine (The Jerusalem Spy Series Book 2), by Howard Kaplan. (Still 0.99?)

"Kaplan is not merely the author of two previous best-selling novels built around international intrigue but is probably without peer in his grasp of the delicate and explosive relationship between the Israelis and the Palestinians. This is a terrorist thriller in the best tradition of the genre by an author who knows the Middle East like the back of his hand." -- Los Angeles Times

Two agents. Two opposing sides.

Israeli Agent Shai is dispatched to eliminate a terrorist threat. To succeed in his mission Shai must win the trust of Palestinian Agent Ramzy who will help him gain access to the infamous and dangerous Abu Nidal.

Shai is under orders to kill Ramzy when the mission ends. Instead, they forge a friendship that transcends the hatreds of their heritage. Loyalties are tested. Will they capture Abu Nidal or betray each other? In a conflict where both sides dehumanize each other, two extremely human men, are caught in the cross-hairs of the larger war.

No Place for a Lady (The Regency Rags to Riches Series, Book 1), by Jade Lee. (Still free?)

"This is a very cute story with well written characters. It wasn't too immersed in the historical era so if you are a big fan of the more period romances this might not be for you. However, I really enjoyed the style of writing and the storyline. It had a little bit of adventure and a little less ballrooms. Sometimes you just want to get out of the stuff ballrooms for a moment. Loved the hero in the book." -- Amazon reviewer

The London rookeries are slums, rife with criminals, and shunned by the upper crust.

But someone there intends to murder one of England's greatest leaders, and Marcus Kane, Lord Chadwick, will follow every clue, even into the bowels of London's underground. But he can't find his way alone.

A partner is required.

Fantine (Fanny) Delarive is perfect. She knows the slums better than anyone, has survived its labyrinth alone for years, and knows every criminal lurking in every dark corner.

Then, the investigation detours the pair into the bright ballrooms of the ton.

And Fantine fits in here, too.

Which changes everything.

Lord Chadwick knows a woman of Fantine's ilk is entirely unsuitable for him. But she's infinitely more exciting than any well-born lady he's ever met.

Now much more than an acquaintance with the independent, self-reliant Fantine is required... and it must end with nothing less than marriage.

Taste for Trouble: Blake Brothers #1 (The Blake Brothers Trilogy), by Susan Sey. (Still free?)

"I spent the weekend reading this book and found myself laughing out-loud at the banter between the hero and heroine. I especially liked how everyone underestimated James, the soccer player-hero. Even his brothers think of him as the "athlete" in the family (as well as the bread-winner), while he in fact seemed to really understand other people's motivations and desires. No surprise that he "gets" Bel and is able to give her the family that she needs. Plus, I was talking and dreaming about the food from this book to everyone! Yum. Not just meatballs!" -- Amazon reviewer

Another smart, sexy contemporary romance from award-winning author Susan Sey...

On the field, soccer star James Blake is pure poetry. Off the field? He’s pure trouble. When his fondness for fast women and bar brawls lands him a suspension from the game, he’s prepared to take his punishment like a man. But since when does a suspension come with a live-in nanny?

TV baking maven Belinda West is the epitome of home-made hospitality, on-screen and off. The personal is the professional when you’re selling the good life, after all. But when her wedding day implodes in front of a live studio audience, Bel’s career goes into a death spiral. She’ll do anything to save it, even take charge of soccer’s most famous bad boy.

To hell with the morals clause in his contract; James isn’t about to shape up for some knock-off Mary Poppins. But since when does Mary Poppins laugh like a naughty angel and smell like sugar cookies? He’s not looking for love but that kiss of hers is practically perfect in every way. And James has a powerful taste for trouble.

335 pages, with a 4.5-star rating from 202 reviews.
