The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

$0.99
Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

With K2 we'll still be able to store books on hard drive or a card of whatever ilk and then move stuff over to the Kindle if we get that many going (and I just may),

Last Chance, My Love by Lynne Connolly.

Synopsis
What if you're in love -- but you can't make love?
Book One of the Triple Countess series. Miranda and Daniel, Earl and Countess of Rosington, are in love, but for the past five years their love has been purely platonic. Because if Miranda has another child, she will die. Daniel resolves to take a mistress, one who will understand the purely physical business arrangement, but when Miranda discovers his plan, she can't bear it. So Daniel's brothers scheme, and Daniel finds himself on the losing end of a wager.

Daniel and Miranda must pose as a simple innkeeper and his wife, forced to work together to save a failing business. Their masquerade brings them into temptation, their searing desire for each other threatening to ruin their good intentions, but it also brings danger, in the presence of the brutal father of a young girl who turns for them for help.

Can Daniel and Miranda save themselves, their protege and their marriage?

Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex.

Here's a slightly different description of the book, from the paperback version:

What if youre in love but you cant make love? Book One of the Triple Countess series. Miranda and Daniel, Earl and Countess of Rosington are deeply in love. However, Miranda contacted a severe fever in childbirth, leaving her with a high risk of dying should she conceive again. Daniel cant bear the thought of losing his wife and treats her like a porcelain doll, not a real woman. Distraught, Miranda turns to her brother in law Orlando for advice. Together they concoct a plan that will bring Daniel to his senses, and soon Daniel finds himself on the losing end of a wager. Miranda and Daniel must pose as a simple innkeeper and his wife, working together to save a failing business. Forced into sharing a bed, searing desire threatens to ruin Daniels good intentions. Daniel will have to overcome his fear of his wife dying, and Miranda must overcome her inhibitions, to seduce Daniel. Can Daniel and Miranda give in to their love and save their marriage? Find out by reading the first book in the new Triple Countess series from Lynne Connolly! Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex

This one looks like one to download from the husbands account. Darn, can't do that until Bella gets here. Have to hope the price doesn't go up until she does.

Wow!  I think this one is going to take awhile to download with WN because of the size and I'm pretty sure I will transfer it to SD card when it gets here.   Thanks for the link!

Nothing like offering the second book in a series to get you to buy the first one!  I just did, sigh......
(It's called Silent in the Grave for those curious - sorry, I never did learn the link maker!)

I just picked that one up too.  I figure for all the free books I just got it wouldn't kill me to spend $5 on one that sounds really interesting.

LOL - glad I wasn't the only sucker victim curious reader.  Wink  It appears the reason for the freebie is that the 3rd in the series comes out next week (on Kindle anyway, paperback appears to already be available even though it has a 3/1/09 pub date). And they're both biggish books, 500+ or so pages, with decent ratings, so what the heck. Smiley

Silent in the Sanctuary.....do I have to get the previous titles to understand the series?  Anyone familiar with the author?  She does seem to get good reviews.

I bought the first one too, it did look really good. 5.04 for 2 books is a great deal in my eyes.

Me too -- I'd actually had the first one, Silent in the Grave, on my Wish List.  Can't remember why at all, but the plot still looked interesting, so I downloaded the free one and bought the first one.  Darned free sequels!!

I have been watching this thread with increasing interest.  Does this mean that if I write a sequel to my free ebook "Surviving the Fog" and sell it for real money, that everyone who downloaded the first ebook will purchase the sequel?
