A Sword for His Lady
A Sword for His Lady by Mary Wine is $1.99! This historical romance is first in the Courtly Love series and I’m digging the cover. Readers loved the heroine, but found some of the couple’s problems seemed to be solved by the hero’s magic wang. Have you read this one?
He’d defend her keep…
After proving himself on the field of battle, Ramon de Segrave is appointed to the Council of Barons by Richard the Lionheart. But instead of taking his most formidable warrior on his latest Crusade, the king assigns Ramon an even more dangerous task-woo and win the Lady of Thistle Keep.
If only she’d yield her heart
Isabel of Camoys is a capable widow with no intention of surrendering her valuable estate. She’s fought long and hard for her independence, and if the price is loneliness, then so be it. She will not yield…even if she does find the powerful knight’s heated embrace impossible to ignore.
But when her land is threatened, Isabel reluctantly agrees to allow Ramon and his army to defend the keep-knowing that the price may very well be her heart.

The Fighter and the Fallen Woman by Pamela Cayne is $1.99! This is a Victorian historical romance and readers say this is darker, grittier historical. While an interesting plot, some felt the pace was too slow for a shorter book (less than three hundred pages).
London, 1883
“People like us don’t get happy endings.”
In twelve years as a bangtail, Lady has never feared a man’s kiss. Owned by the ruthless Hannibal Adams, the “Earl of the East End,” she’s draped in jewels and dead inside. Lady learns fear, however, when she kisses Mr. Adams’s best fighter for luck—for King sees the real woman locked away behind finery and falsity.
King’s life is made of fists and scars, the only things that have ever felt real to him. Even his name came from the man who owns him—the man who turned him into a champion. From the moment Lady’s kiss sends him reeling, King resists wanting what he can’t have. Mr. Adams never gives up what he owns.
When Lady is sent to nurse King through the tournament, she finds a new strength through the one man who’s never treated her like a whore. King discovers that the woman who shares his dark world might also be the one to lead him out. And as the tournament comes to a violent finale, Lady and King must decide—stay spoiled and shackled, or break free and risk what happens when fear and dreams collide.

Noble Destiny by Katie MacAlister is $1.99! This is the second book in the Noble series and features a marriage of convenience, though the hero refuses to consummate it.

Those are some impressively anachronistic (but very pretty!) covers.
The lady on Nobel Destiny looks like Nicole Kidman!
A Sword for his Lady was fun, but there was a tendency for the story to get sidetracked with LET ME SHOW YOU MY RESEARCH types of info dumps. Also the villain was ridiculously slimy and totally ott. That being said, I was looking forward to the second book as I presumed it was going to be about Ramon’s sidekick. But as it’s not yet been published close to two years on, I don’t know if it’s going to happen.
I’m not good with period clothing, but the cover of The Fighter & The Fallen Woman with “Victorian” in the description gave even me a WTF moment.
@Ren: Half the time I don’t think they bother to check the time period.
At least the fighter isn’t a duke.
I agree, DeanaCal–I had the same thought regarding Nicole Kidman. (NK also turns up on this Love Inspired Historical cover: https://www.amazon.com/Would-Be-Wilderness-Wife-Frontier-Bachelors-ebook/dp/B00OYD63VO/ref=sr_1_24?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1492031709&sr=1-24&keywords=regina+scott)
“A Sword for His Lady” made me howl, quite aside from the waist-high split skirt on the cover, because one of the most useful things I learned while getting a degree in English Literature is that “sword” is often a euphemism for, er, certain male parts. (I’m sure his lady got her share of that, too.)
Which is the reason that scene in Disney’s “Mulan” always cracks me up, when Mulan is practicing her entrance into the camp: “Hi, there! I see you have a sword–I’ve got one, too. Swords are very manly…” When I explained to my then-college-age daughter why I was laughing so hard, she said, “Oh, no! I’ll bet the writers at Disney didn’t know!” Yes, they did. I’m sure of it. 🙂
