How to Lose a Duke in Ten Days
How to Lose a Duke in Ten Days by Laura Lee Guhrke is $1.99! This historical romance is the second book in An American Heiress in London series. Featuring a marriage of convenience, our heroine only agrees to marry the hero because he’ll be living his life out on another continent, until a near death experience brings him back home. Readers do give a trigger warning for rape and abuse, which divided many reviewers.
They had a deal . . .
From the moment she met the devil-may-care Duke of Margrave, Edie knew he could change her life. And when he agreed to her outrageous proposal of a marriage of convenience, she was transformed from ruined American heiress to English duchess. Five years later, she’s delighted with their arrangement, especially since her husband is living on another continent.
But deals are made to be broken . . .
By marrying an heiress, Stuart was able to pay his family’s enormous debts, and Edie’s terms that he leave England forever seemed a small price to pay. But when a brush with death impels him home, he decides it’s time for a real marriage with his luscious American bride, and he proposes a bold new bargain: ten days to win her willing kiss. But is ten days enough to win her heart?

The Wolf at the Door
The Wolf at the Door by Charlie Adhara is $1.99! This is a m/m paranormal romance and was recommended by Aarya in our Underrated Authors & Romances Rec League. Though this one wasn’t Aarya’s favorite in the series, she still really liked this one.
A former FBI agent is partnered with the enemy in this suspenseful male/male shifter romance from debut author Charlie Adhara
Hunting for big bad wolves was never part of Agent Cooper Dayton’s plan, but a werewolf attack lands him in the carefully guarded Bureau of Special Investigations. A new case comes with a new partner: ruggedly sexy werewolf Oliver Park.
Park is an agent of The Trust, a werewolf oversight organization working to ease escalating tensions with the BSI. But as far as Cooper’s concerned, it’s failing. As they investigate a series of mysterious deaths unlike anything they’ve seen, every bone in Cooper’s body is suspicious of his new partner—even when Park proves himself as competent as he is utterly captivating.
When more people vanish, pressure to solve the case skyrockets. And though he’d resolved to keep things professional, Cooper’s friction with Park soon erupts…into a physical need that can’t be contained or controlled. But with a body count that’s rising by the day, werewolves and humans are in equal danger. If Cooper and Park don’t catch the killer soon, one—or both—of them could be the next to go.

The Girl with the Make-Believe Husband
The Girl with the Make-Believe Husband by Julia Quinn is $1.99! This is a historical romance that is inspired heavily by While You Were Sleeping. Some readers didn’t enjoy the heroine very much, while others loved the emotional punch this one packed.
While you were sleeping…
With her brother Thomas injured on the battlefront in the Colonies, orphaned Cecilia Harcourt has two unbearable choices: move in with a maiden aunt or marry a scheming cousin. Instead, she chooses option three and travels across the Atlantic, determined to nurse her brother back to health. But after a week of searching, she finds not her brother but his best friend, the handsome officer Edward Rokesby. He’s unconscious and in desperate need of her care, and Cecilia vows that she will save this soldier’s life, even if staying by his side means telling one little lie…
I told everyone I was your wife
When Edward comes to, he’s more than a little confused. The blow to his head knocked out six months of his memory, but surely he would recall getting married. He knows who Cecilia Harcourt is—even if he does not recall her face—and with everyone calling her his wife, he decides it must be true, even though he’d always assumed he’d marry his neighbor back in England.
If only it were true…
Cecilia risks her entire future by giving herself—completely—to the man she loves. But when the truth comes out, Edward may have a few surprises of his own for the new Mrs. Rokesby.

Strange Practice
Strange Practice by Vivian Shaw is $2.99! I’ve been so curious about this one because the heroine is a “fast-talking doctor to the undead.” It sounds all sorts of awesome. I definitely bought this after the last time it was on sale. If you’ve read this one, let me know what you thought!
Meet Greta Helsing, fast-talking doctor to the undead. Keeping the supernatural community not-alive and well in London has been her family’s specialty for generations.
Greta Helsing inherited the family’s highly specialized, and highly peculiar, medical practice. In her consulting rooms, Dr. Helsing treats the undead for a host of ills – vocal strain in banshees, arthritis in barrow-wights, and entropy in mummies. Although barely making ends meet, this is just the quiet, supernatural-adjacent life Greta’s been groomed for since childhood.
Until a sect of murderous monks emerges, killing human and undead Londoners alike. As terror takes hold of the city, Greta must use her unusual skills to stop the cult if she hopes to save her practice, and her life.

I enjoyed Strange Practice a lot! Good plot but a light tone and plenty of humor. I’m hoping the second book will price drop since the 3rd is out on 9/24.
These are all really good selections!
Strange Practice is amazing and the second is equally good if not better. It’s one of the only series which reliably makes me laugh out loud, and there’s a very sweet but minor romantic subplot too. It’s like a love letter to 19th century Gothic with lots of shoutouts to vampire fiction in particular, but all filtered through the perspective of a no-nonsense sarcastic GP to the undead in London. I could go on and on about it but if you like urban fantasy and/or Gothic novels you will not regret giving it a go (with the caveat that it’s a little slow at times, and there’s some gore in the first one at least). I am so excited for the third one!
I love Julia Quinn but I couldn’t finish The Girl with the Make-Believe Husband. To me, the concept of lying to a person with amnesia in that way is just such a violation. I know it’s a plot that’s not uncommon in romance but the consent issues make it intolerable to me.
Full disclosure: I’ve had amnesia (although it lasted only for a short period of time – about 12 hours), it is horrible and terrifying, and that definitely contributes to my visceral reaction here, although I think the point stands apart from my own experience.
Also, Strange Practice is delightful.

The audio for Strange Practice is quite delightful.

I actually kind of enjoyed Julia Quinn’s novel which says more for her skill as a writer than the plot of the book. Because I agree with you, any book whick relies on the protagonists lying to each other is usually a nope for me. If a single conversation will solve the problem then the problem is the people. And not in a good “oh let’s watch them grow” way.
Third of the way through Strange Practice and adoring it. However, it has been briefly put aside because the The Nursery by Asia Mackay is out and I have been waiting for it for so long. I’m obsessed with the first book, Killing It, and I’m forcing myself to eke out this sequel. That’s really saying something considering my frustrating concentration levels for reading the last few years. Highly, HIGHLY recommend.
