Right
Right by Jana Aston is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal, but so far isn’t being price-matched elsewhere. This book has the “brother’s best friend” trope, but reviewers warn that the description isn’t really what you’re getting. If you want to be spoiled, read the reviews on Goodreads!
My childhood was perfect.
I’ve led a charmed life, and I’m not going to blow it now by picking the wrong guy.
I’ve got my sights set on my brother’s best friend.
He’s known my family for years. He’s reliable and kind and handsome.
Sure, he’s been avoiding me since I was six.
I’m a bit aggressive for him, maybe.
But he’s the one… right?

Murder at the Brightwell
Murder at the Brightwell by Ashley Weaver is $2.99! This is the first book in the Amory Ames historical mystery series. Reviews on Goodreads compare this series to Jacqueline Winspear’s mysteries and found it charming. However, some readers are divided on the heroine.
Amory Ames is a wealthy young woman who regrets her marriage to her notoriously charming playboy husband, Milo. Looking for a change, she accepts a request for help from her former fiancé, Gil Trent, not knowing that she’ll soon become embroiled in a murder investigation that will test not only her friendship with Gil, but will upset the status quo with her husband.
Amory accompanies Gil to the Brightwell Hotel in an attempt to circumvent the marriage of his sister, Emmeline, to Rupert Howe, a disreputable ladies’ man. Amory sees in the situation a grim reflection of her own floundering marriage. There is more than her happiness at stake, however, when Rupert is murdered and Gil is arrested for the crime. Amory is determined to prove his innocence and find the real killer, despite attempted dissuasion from the disapproving police inspector on the case. Matters are further complicated by Milo’s unexpected arrival, and the two form an uneasy alliance as Amory enlists his reluctant aid in clearing Gil’s name. As the stakes grow higher and the line between friend and foe becomes less clear, Amory must decide where her heart lies and catch the killer before she, too, becomes a victim.
Murder at the Brightwell is a delicious mystery in which murder invades polite society and romance springs in unexpected places. Weaver has penned a debut in the tradition of Jacqueline Winspear.

His Lady Bride
His Lady Bride by Shayla Black (writing as Shelley Bradley) is 99c! This is a historical romance that was first published in 2000 and had a forced/arranged marriage element. There were readers who found the heroine unlikeable. I don’t know about you, but that makes me even more curious for a romance.
He was a legend on the battlefield, but Aric Neville, known throughout England as the White Lion, had had his fill of intrigue and bloodshed. So he threw down his sword and walked away, to live a solitary life, cultivating a reputation as a sorcerer. But his prized tranquility was shattered when the villagers brought him a bride. Gwenyth de Auburd was a raven-haired beauty too impudent to ignore and too tempting to resist. When the war raging around them sucked Aric into his past again, he also fought a losing battle against his undeniable desire for the luscious, willful maiden . . . only to learn that he had come to cherish as his wife.

Kiss of Fire
Kiss of Fire by Deborah Cooke is 99c at Amazon! It’s not being price-matched elsewhere just yet. This is a paranormal romance between a dragon shifter and an accountant-turned-bookstore-owner. This is the first book in the Dragonfire series, and many of the other series titles are $2.99 or less.
For millennia, the shape-shifting dragon warriors known as the Pyr have lived peacefully as guardians of both the four elements and the earth’s treasures. But now the final reckoning between the Pyr, who count humans among the earth’s treasures, and the Slayers, who would eradicate both humans and the Pyr who protect them, has begun…
One kiss can change the course of destiny…
When ace accountant Sara Keegan decides to settle down and run her quirky aunt’s New Age bookstore, she’s not looking for adventure. She doesn’t believe in fate or the magic of tarot cards, but when she’s saved from a vicious attack by a man who has the ability to turn into a fire-breathing dragon, she questions whether she’s losing her mind – or about to lose her heart.
Self-reliant loner Quinn Tyrrell has long been distrustful of his fellow Pyr. When he feels the firestorm that signals his destined mate, he’s determined to protect and possess Sara, regardless of the cost. Then Sara’s true destiny is revealed and Quinn realizes he must risk everything – even Sara’s love – to fulfill their entwined fates.

It’s been a while since I read it, but in my notes I’m showing that Jana Aston’s RIGHT is more of a “in love with the wrong brother” rather than a brother’s friend trope.
DRAGON SHIFTER!!!!!!
click!
I finished His Lady Bride a couple days ago, and the heroine does start out as VERY unlikable. She does get better toward the end of the book and is better able to articulate her motives.
I found Murder at the Brightwell really charming — a frothy riff on Agatha Christie (fwiw, I much preferred it to the Jacqueline Winspear novels I’ve read.)
