A Gentleman’s Gentleman by TJ Alexander is $1.99! This was featured on Cover Awe. I also recommended this one a couple times during the latest round of quarterly recommendations for After Dark members.

I think these happened in the same book but I’m not totally sure. 1. She is with her girlfriends trying on a wedding dress at a shop and they see her back is covered in scars.

Excellent – there’s a transcript for that!
The Bookshop Below by Georgia Summers is $2.99! This released in November and was mentioned on Hide Your Wallet.
