NB: I’m including Audible links by reader request, though the price varies depending on whether you’ve bought the Kindle version, if you’re an Audible member, etc. So I can’t always guarantee the sale price is valid, but since buying the digital often drops the price of the audiobook there, I wanted to include it.

Secrets of a Summer Night
RECOMMENDED: Secrets of a Summer Night by Lisa Kleypas is $2.99. Hold onto your wallets – that’s a terrific price for a Kleypas book (and there are two more) (I’m sorry) (I bought them, too).
This is book 1 in the Wallflowers series, and is a class boundaries romance (a specialty of Kleypas’ if you’ve read her backlist). One thing I loved about this book was that the heroine, Annabelle, has to overcome her own prejudices and it’s not so easy for her.
Four young ladies enter London society with one common goal: they must use their feminine wit and wiles to find a husband.So a daring husband-hunting scheme is born.
Annabelle Peyton, determined to save her family from disaster, decides to use her beauty and wit to tempt a suitable nobleman into making an offer of marriage. But Annabelle’s most intriguing—and persistent—admirer, wealthy, powerful Simon Hunt, has made it clear that while he will introduce her to irresistible pleasure he will not offer marriage. Annabelle is determined to resist his unthinkable proposition . . . but it is impossible in the face of such skillful seduction.
Her friends, looking to help, conspire to entice a more suitable gentleman to offer for Annabelle, for only then will she be safe from Simon—and her own longings. But on one summer night, Annabelle succumbs to Simon’s passionate embrace and tempting kisses . . . and she discovers that love is the most dangerous game of all.

Again the Magic
Again the Magic by Lisa Kleypas is $2.99. This is book .5 in the Wallflowers series – and it’s not a novella, so don’t worry. The characters in this book appear in the rest of the series, and again, this is a class boundaries romance- with friends to lovers thrown in, too. Oh, my catnip. Hello, there.
She gave him her innocence…
Lady Aline Marsden was brought up for one reason: to make an advantageous marriage to a member of her own class. Instead, she willingly gave her innocence to John McKenna, a servant on her father’s estate. Their passionate transgression was unforgivable—John was sent away, and Aline was left to live in the countryside…an exile from London society…
…and he took her love.
Now McKenna has made his fortune, and he has returned—more boldly handsome and more mesmerizing than before. His ruthless plan is to take revenge on the woman who shattered his dreams of love. But the magic between them burns as bright as ever. And now he must decide whether to let vengeance take its toll…or risk everything for his first, and only, love.

Someone to Watch Over Me
Someone to Watch Over Me by Lisa Kleypas is $2.99. This is an amnesia story – and it’s terrific. No, really. The hero is a Bow Street investigator, and the heroine is a courtesan who snubbed him – and now doesn’t remember him or anything else. This is also book 1 in the Bow Street Runners series, and it has a 3.8-star average. Have you read this one?
Grant Morgan is one of London’s most eligible and unattainable bachelors. He’s also a powerful member of the Bow Street Runners, and when he’s called to the waterfront late one night to investigate a drowning victim, Grant is stunned to recognize the face of Vivien Rose Duvall, a well-known woman of the night. He’s even more startled when he realizes that she’s alive. With no one to care for her, Grant carries Vivien to his home and revives her, only to learn that she is suffering from amnesia.
Vivien hesitantly accepts her handsome rescuer’s claim that she is his mistress, despite her misgivings about her true identity. Nevertheless, she can’t deny the marks on her throat that prove her near-drowning in the Thames was not an accident, and now she must trust the man who claims her as his paramour, for her life is in danger. As Grant searches for Vivien’s attacker, the two find themselves falling in love, all the while struggling to stay one step ahead of the evil forces that will stop at nothing to see Vivien dead.
