The Rogue
The Rogue by Katharine Ashe is 99c! This is a first book in a new historical romance series that seems to have a lot of catnip: a second chance romance, a scarred hero, and a marriage of convenience. Content warning: Some reviewers warn that there is rape and torture as part of the heroine’s backstory.
Lady Constance Read is independent, beautiful, and in need of a husband—now. The last man on earth she wants is the rogue who broke her heart six years ago, never mind that his kisses are scorching hot…
Evan Saint-André Sterling is rich, scarred, and finished with women—forever. He’s not about to lose his head over the bewitching beauty who once turned his life upside down.
But Constance needs a warrior, and Saint is the perfect man for the job. Only as a married woman can she penetrate Scotland’s most notorious secret society and bring a diabolical duke to justice. When Constance and Saint become allies—and passionate lovers—he’ll risk everything to protect the only woman he has ever loved.

The Protector by HelenKay Dimon is $1.99! This is book four in the Games People Play romantic suspense series. Both the hero and heroine seem to have experienced some hefty trauma. Readers say you can jump into this one without reading the previous books. However, others wished the suspense elements were stronger.
Salvation, Pennsylvania. The commune located in the small town was advertised as a modern Utopia: a place to live, share, and learn with other like-minded young people. Cate Pendleton’s sister was one of them. Now she’s dead—and Cate won’t rest until she finds out who killed her. Stonewalled at every turn, she approaches a DC Fixer for help and ends up with Damon Knox, a mysterious man with a secretive past. But Cate soon discovers that she not only needs Damon, she wants him, which isn’t good—for the attraction brewing between them will only lead to complications that can turn into danger . . .
Damon has tried to erase the hellish memories and the evil that happened in Salvation ever since he left a long time ago. Still, he can’t turn his back on Cate. As Damon works with Cate to uncover her sister’s killer, he finds himself drawn to her more and more. But how will she feel about him when she learns about his connection to the place?
Joining forces to uncover the truth, they must stay one step ahead of a cunning killer who’s bent on not being exposed.

Imperial Stout by Layla Reyne is 99c! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price-matched. This is a gay contemporary romance with some mystery and suspense thrown in. This is a spin-off series of Reyne’s Agents Irish and Whiskey series, and readers seem divided on whether reading that series first is necessary for this one.
Layla Reyne spins off from her pulse-pounding Agents Irish and Whiskey books with Imperial Stout , the first installment in the Trouble Brewing series
It’s a good thing assistant US attorney Dominic Price co-owns a brewery. He could use a cold one. Nic’s star witness has just been kidnapped, his joint operation with the FBI is in jeopardy, his father’s shady past is catching up with him and the hot new special agent in San Francisco is the kind of distraction best handled with a stiff drink.
Kidnap and rescue expert Cameron Byrne has his own ideas about how to handle Nic, but his skills are currently needed elsewhere. The by-the-book FBI agent goes deep undercover as a member of an infamous heist crew in order to save Nic’s witness, break up the crew and close the case before anyone else gets hurt. Nic in particular.
Things heat up when Cam falls for Nic, and the witness falls for Cam. As the crew’s suspicions grow, Cam must decide how far he’s willing to go—and how far into his own dark past he’s willing to dive—to get everyone out alive.

Wow, lots of dark angsty backstories in today’s offerings. I dig it.
Dang. “Imperial Stout” blew my “This is Article+ManlyNoun booktitle post” theory all to hell.
If you would like to read books in series order (which I prefer, but have been known occasionally to break my own rule when there is a book in the series where the trope really doesn’t work for me), then The Rogue will drive you crazy. It is billed as the first book in one series and the fourth of another – indicating a spin-off I am sure, but I was like who the hell are all of these characters and why am I in the middle of a plot that I kinda can’t follow? I can’t by any stretch of the imagination call it the first in a new series when it seems very important to know what had happened in the three books before it in the other series.
Also I have only read the first book in the Games People Play series, but that had a super dark backstory for both the hero and heroine – super dark.
The background guy on the Imperial Stout cover looks like George Clooney.
@Susan: yes, but George Clooney in exceptionally ill-fitting shirt and awkward tie
