Any Duke in a Storm

Any Duke in a Storm by Amalie Howard is $1.99! This is book four in the Daring Dukes series. The heroine is a spy trying to apprehend a duke. Have any of you read this series?
Historical romance takes to the high seas. Famed spy Lady Lisbeth Medford is on a ship bound for the West Indies, and the only thing more dangerous than her mission is the elusive Duke she’s trying to capture.
Lady Lisbeth Medford, Countess of Waterstone and famed international spy, is caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. She’s determined to infiltrate a notorious smuggling ring in the West Indies while on a covert mission as a ship’s captain. But even when her identity is compromised and she’s forced to flee, the men chasing her are still hot on her heels.
The trouble in front of her, however, might be even worse. Raphael Saint, the Duc de Viel, is her ship’s new aggravating and dangerously charming sailing master, who might very well be part of the smuggling ring Lisbeth must bring to justice. But when a new deadly threat on the high seas looms, the only way out of danger is to face it…together.

The Only Purple House in Town by Ann Aguirre is $1.99! This is book four in the Fix-It Witches series and is the first to breakaway from the previous cover designs in the series. We mentioned this on Hide Your Wallet in summer 2023.
Iris Collins is the messy one in her family. The “chaos bunny.” Her sisters are all wildly successful, while she can’t balance her budget for a single month. It’s no wonder she’s in debt to her roommates. When she unexpectedly inherits a house from her great aunt, her plan to turn it into a B&B fails—as most of her plans do. She winds up renting rooms like a Victorian spinster, collecting other lost souls…and not all of them are “human.”
Eli Reese grew up as the nerdy outcast in school, but he got rich designing apps. Now he’s successful by any standards. But he’s never had the same luck in finding a real community or people who understand him. Over the years, he’s never forgotten his first crush, so when he spots her at a café, he takes it as a sign. Except then he gets sucked into the Iris-verse and somehow ends up renting one of her B&B rooms. As the days pass, Eli grows enchanted by the misfit boarders staying in the house…and even more so by Iris. Could Eli have finally found a person and a place to call “home”?

Couple of N.K. Jemison deals right now – the Inheritance Trilogy for 2.99, and the Fifth Season for 2.99
“famed international spy”
Surely one can not be ‘famed’ if one is a spy? It defeats the purpose of the task, no?
I am getting increasingly crotchety about the ludicrous wording of some back cover copy. Would an equivalent to Cover Snark/Awe (because we could reward the good as well as tear down the bad) be a possibility?
I liked The Only Purple House in Town; I need to pick up The Dare and the Doctor.
Several books by Julie Anne Long (mostly in the Pennyroyal Green series, but also a couple in The Palace of Rogues) are $1.99 on Amazon today! I highly recommend both series.

@Jazzlet: I’m with you. They got her title wrong too — it should be Lady Waterstone if she’s a countess (when not being a famed international spy). Which I know from reading regencies! Follow the internal logic, or just write a contemporary!
looking at flchen1’s list. Just Come Over is one of my favorites to re-read. I like James’ rugby books anyhow. In this one the hero is in love with his brother’s widow. There is also an unexpected child along the way. People deal with trauma. Family is also a big part of the story. Would suggest picking it up.
The Only Purple House in Town made me see red with it’s appropriation of the Black experience of homeownership and discrimination.
@shoesforall: Could you speak to that a bit more? I haven’t read the book and I couldn’t find anything in reviews on Goodreads.
