Terrell believes very strongly in an ordered, practical lifestyle. Nothing good, after all, ever came from following impractical urges and impulses. Nearly finished with school, it is time to focus on the next step in his life—settling down at his estate, Fivecoats, and marrying a suitable spouse to oversee it while he pursues his academic leanings. When his father sends word that he has found the ideal man for Terrell to marry, Terrell can only be pleased—despite the misgivings of his best friend. Marriage, after all, is perfectly practical, and such things as romance highly impractical. Kirian wants nothing to do with practicality. His parents chose to be happy over being practical, and he refuses to settle for less, no matter what everyone around him says. But then he is forced to marry a man who is colder than ice, settle into a marriage that seems to be in all ways practical, but in no way happy. But beneath the surface of his new spouse, Kirian sees something far from icy, something he realizes he wants—but which seems to belong to another man.

New ebook! Deceived by Megan Derr

Less Than Three Press is pleased to present Deceived by Megan Derr, now available in the Book Market for $6.99!

Five stories of men and the secrets and lies that shape their lives...

Deceived—The hatred between Prince Benedict and his secretary Rae is well-known, and the source of much gossip at court. Each one too stubborn to walk away, determined to make the other one the first to break, they spend their days fighting or ruthlessly ignoring one another. Determined to put an end to the matter once and for all, and to give the notoriously rakish Benedict a taste of his own medicine, Rae sets upon a deception only to realize that there is more than one deception afoot...

Scandalous—Gideon has led a very strict life since the death of his parents, determined not to live the scandalous life that led to their untimely demise and to bring up his little brother in a more stable home. Journeying home to settle the matter of a new tutor for his brother, Gideon is waylaid overnight by foul weather at an inn. He encounters a beautiful young man who is more temptation than he is able to resist, and Gideon impulsively decides that one night, with a complete stranger, cannot possibly come to any harm...

From Afar—Pierce has all that anyone could want in life—an adoring brother who raised him when their parents died, the fame and adoration from being an accomplished fencer, and the best friend a man could have. What he wants, however, is to know the identity of the person who leaves him ardent love letters and why his admirer will not step forward...

Lessons—There is very little that Jude has not tried or seen, and his shameless behavior has earned him the reputation as the most notorious rake in the city. The one thing he does not do, however, is innocents. Then he chances upon a young man late at night in the park, amused to learn the man is attempting to write a love letter of all things. When he learns that Crispin despairs of ever catching the eye of his love because he is too innocent to be appealing, Jude impulsively offers to teach him all that he needs to know...

The Highwayman—When he receives word that his home is being plagued by a highwayman, Bartholomew immediately sets off for the family estate to see to the matter. When he arrives home, however, he learns that very little is as he remembers it. Instead of one problem to solve, Bartholomew finds himself contending with a highwayman, a murderer, strangers, and an old friend who is nothing like the boy he grew up with...

Shipping and paperback sales

Due to some crossed wires between our Book Market software and the U.S.P.S. shipping calculator, shipping costs were often calculated to be dramatically higher than they should be for our larger paperbacks or orders with multiple books. As a result, LT3 has changed how we calculate shipping to more accurately reflect actual shipping costs.

• Small orders (typically 2 thick books or a combination of 3-5 thin books) are charged a flat $5.00 shipping.
• Large orders (typically more than 2 thick books) are charged a flat $10.50 shipping.
• Orders for over $40.00 in product (typically large orders) are shipped for free!

As a result of these changes, Less Than Three Press is extending our paperbook sale through Labor Day (September 5 at midnight). All paperbacks are 15% off between now and the end of the day Monday, September 5. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.

Note: Contacting the Editor-in-Chief

Less Than Three Press's Editor-in-Chief and CFO Samantha Derr is currently without power due to the damage caused by Hurricane Irene. If you have questions or are waiting for or expecting something from her, rest assured she will get back to you as soon as possible. The current estimate is that her power will be restored by Friday.

Terrell believes very strongly in an ordered, practical lifestyle. Nothing good, after all, ever came from following impractical urges and impulses. Nearly finished with school, it is time to focus on the next step in his life—settling down at his estate, Fivecoats, and marrying a suitable spouse to oversee it while he pursues his academic leanings. When his father sends word that he has found the ideal man for Terrell to marry, Terrell can only be pleased—despite the misgivings of his best friend. Marriage, after all, is perfectly practical, and such things as romance highly impractical. Kirian wants nothing to do with practicality. His parents chose to be happy over being practical, and he refuses to settle for less, no matter what everyone around him says. But then he is forced to marry a man who is colder than ice, settle into a marriage that seems to be in all ways practical, but in no way happy. But beneath the surface of his new spouse, Kirian sees something far from icy, something he realizes he wants—but which seems to belong to another man.

New "Bundle" format and extended downloads

LT3 is making our ebooks easier to read across many platforms! If you prefer to read PDFs on your PC but still want an ePUB for your eReader, you can now buy both at once! The new "bundle" format in the Book Market gives you a zip file that contains one each of the PDF, ePUB, and HTML formats of the ebook you are purchasing. This new option is available at the same price as a single ebook format, so you get all three ebook formats for the price of one.

LT3 will continue to offer the single-format options of the ebooks for those customers who prefer to buy their ebooks in a single format. Additionally, this allows you to continue to download past purchases of your ebooks.

In addition to the "bundle" format, we've extended the download days and download attempts; you can now download copies of your ebooks up to 180 days after purchase (approximately six months) and you have up to 8 downloads per ebook!

Due to a technical problem, the version of A Delicate Game by Sasha L. Miller that was uploaded on July 6, 2011 was the unedited version. This problem was corrected on July 22; all copies of A Delicate Game downloaded prior to this date were the incorrect. You can download this ebook for free here.

A sweet baker with spicy taste... Marcell lives a quiet life, keeping the treats coming in his aunt's bakery. He is well known for his manners, his shy demeanor, and his perfect cinnamon rolls. He's a classic good boy, who has never stepped so much as a toe out of line. The Withers Boys are the town bad boys—faerie half-brothers whose only talents are their green thumbs and an unmatched ability to cause trouble. When they're not causing trouble, it's only because the Sheriff has caught them for the moment. But things are never what they seem in a small town, and it's always the quiet ones...This is Book 4 of the Midsummer series, but can be read without reading the prior books.
