Starling House
Starling House by Alix E. Harrow is $2.99! Sarah and I mentioned this in Hide Your Wallet. I think I wound up grabbing it in audio, but am notoriously bad at whittling down my audiobook library.
A grim and gothic new tale from New York Times bestselling author Alix E. Harrow about a small town haunted by secrets that can’t stay buried and the sinister house that sits at the crossroads of it all.
Eden, Kentucky, is just another dying, bad-luck town, known only for the legend of E. Starling, the reclusive nineteenth-century author and illustrator who wrote The Underland–and disappeared. Before she vanished, Starling House appeared. But everyone agrees that it’s best to let the uncanny house―and its last lonely heir, Arthur Starling―go to rot.
Opal knows better than to mess with haunted houses or brooding men, but an unexpected job offer might be a chance to get her brother out of Eden. Too quickly, though, Starling House starts to feel dangerously like something she’s never had: a home.
As sinister forces converge on Starling House, Opal and Arthur are going to have to make a dire to dig up the buried secrets of the past and confront their own fears, or let Eden be taken over by literal nightmares.
If Opal wants a home, she’ll have to fight for it.

The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes
RECOMMENDED: The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes by Cat Sebastian is $1.99! Carrie gave it a B+:
This book succeeds in that it gives an irresistible couple in sweet, goofy Rob and grumpy Marian. I adored this couple for their ability to think outside the box, their easy and complete acceptance of each other, and their banter.
Cat Sebastian returns to Georgian London with a stunning tale of a reluctant criminal and the thief who cannot help but love her.
Marian Hayes, the Duchess of Clare, just shot her husband. Of course, the evil, murderous man deserved what was coming to him, but now she must flee to the countryside. Unfortunately, the only person she can ask for help is the charismatic criminal who is blackmailing her—and who she may have left tied up a few hours before…
A highwayman, con artist, and all-around cheerful villain, Rob Brooks is no stranger to the wrong side of the law or the right side of anybody’s bed. He never meant to fall for the woman whose secrets he promised to keep for the low price of five hundred pounds, but how could he resist someone who led him on a merry chase all over London, left him tied up in a seedy inn, and then arrived covered in her husband’s blood and in desperate need of his help?
As they flee across the country—stopping to pick pockets, drink to excess, and rescue invalid cats—they discover more true joy and peace than either has felt in ages. But when the truth of Rob’s past catches up to him, they must decide if they are willing to reshape their lives in order to forge a future together.

Jilted
Jilted by Vi Keeland is $2.99! This appears to be a standalone. A woman has a steamy moment at a wedding, only to later discover he’s the son of her boss.
From #1 New York Times bestseller Vi Keeland comes a brand-new slow-burn romance about a recovering jilted bride and her boss’s heartthrob son who get thrown together on the ultimate wedding assignment.
After getting ditched at the altar, every “I do” makes me want to scream.
Which is a problem, considering I’m an associate editor at Bride magazine.
Just when I thought my job couldn’t get any worse, I got roped into being a last-minute bridesmaid… and paired with Wilder Hayes.
Gorgeous, smug, and maddening. Cue the bickering, the sparks, and one very unexpected coat closet moment.
Not my finest hour… or was it? Because that kiss? Easily the hottest thing I’ve ever experienced.
At least I’ll never have to see him again.
Until Monday rolls around, and—surprise!—he’s my boss’s son and my new work shadow for the season.
It’s a match made in heaven…or hell. Only time will tell.
