If you like fantasy romance or romance with dark, Gothic elements, there’s a good chance you’ll like Promise of Darkness. Just be aware that you need to wait for the conclusion and that the tone is uneven.

Who is the true enemy? The dark prince who threatens her heart? Or the ruthless queen who will stop at nothing to destroy him?
And when the curse threatens to shatter both courts, is her heart strong enough to break it?

The Relentless Moon
RECOMMENDED: The Relentless Moon by Mary Robinette Kowal is $2.99! This is book three in the Lady Astronaut series and Carrie gave this one an A-:
Taken as a whole, the story over the three novels is so much richer in character development and world-building as the seeds sown in the first book have time and space to develop and the alternate history events take on more and more complexity. Individually, I give this book an A-, but the series itself so far is an A+/SQUEE.
Mary Robinette Kowal continues her award-winning Lady Astronaut series, which began with The Calculating Stars and The Fated Sky, with The Relentless Moon.
The Earth is coming to the boiling point as the climate disaster of the Meteor strike becomes more and more clear, but the political situation is already overheated. Riots and sabotage plague the space program. The IAC’s goal of getting as many people as possible off Earth before it becomes uninhabitable is being threatened.
Elma York is on her way to Mars, but the Moon colony is still being established. Her friend and fellow Lady Astronaut Nicole Wargin is thrilled to be one of those pioneer settlers, using her considerable flight and political skills to keep the program on track. But she is less happy that her husband, the Governor of Kansas, is considering a run for President.

Good Girl Complex
Good Girl Complex by Elle Kennedy is $2.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! This one came out in February and is a new adult, opposites attract romance. I feel like this one didn’t land as well as Kennedy’s self-pub stuff. Did you read it?

The Devil in Her Bed
The Devil in Her Bed by Kerrigan Byrne is $2.99! This is the third book in The Devil You Know series. I read the first two books and while I loved the heroines, the heroes were all jerks. I will warn that the three heroines were former schoolmates who killed their headmaster after he raped one of them and that is mentioned in the first two books, so I’d assume it’s still relevant in the third.
He lives in secret service to the Crown—a man of duty, deception, and an undeniable attraction to a woman who threatens to tear his whole world apart.
They call him the Devil of Dorset. He stands alone, a man of undeniable power. Moving in and out of shadows, back alleys and ballrooms, he is unstoppable and one of the Crown’s most dangerous weapons. However, when he sets his sights on the undeniably beautiful Countess of Mont Claire, Francesca Cavendish, he doesn’t realize that he has met a match like no other.
TRUE LOVE WEARS NO DISGUISE
Francesca is a countess by day and stalks her prey—those responsible for the death of her family—by night. What she does not expect is to be thrown into the path of the devil himself, the Earl of Devlin. She has secrets of her own and he seems determined to lay them bare. Can her heart survive finding the love of her life and losing him when all is revealed?

RESTING BEACH FACE by Melanie Summers is free today at Amazon US. This is part of her Paradise Bay series, iirc, which may have been mentioned here.
This is going to be ridiculously picky, but is that a freeloading (baby) starfish hanging on to the armpit of the guy swimming on the cover of GOOD GIRL COMPLEX? Or is it supposed to represent actual body hair to prove he is a bad boy? (Well, his open water swimming form sucks, so maybe that’s what makes him a bad boy.) Sigh.
I read the Byrne out of this lot; not my favorite, sadly. My pick here is the McMaster.
@qualisign I think it’s supposed to be a tattoo, also probably to signal his bad boyness.
The guy on the Good Girl Complex cover has an anchor tattoo. I had to look up the high res scan of the cover on Edelweiss Plus to see it. A starfish hitching a ride would’ve been more entertaining.
Thanks @space_cadet for doing the research. The tattoo makes sense although its placement doesn’t. It still looks like a cross between a newt and a leech. I also think a starfish would be more interesting and more palatable than the anchor. The image honestly bothered me, but you solved the mystery and now I can relax knowing it’s just a bad artistic choice and not a growth or a parasitic hitchhiker.
