Random House in Australia has another free EPUB book in return for signing up for one of their newsletters: My Husband's Sweethearts ($9.99 Kindle), by Bridget Asher. Bridget also has a second book out in the Kindle store, The Pretend Wife ($9.99).Book Description
When Lucy discovered that her charming, cheating husband was dying, she came home, opened up his little black book, and decided she wasn’t going through this alone. After all, Artie’s sweethearts were there for the good times—is it fair that Lucy should have to manage the hard times herself? In this wise, wickedly funny new novel, Lucy dials up the women in Artie’s black book and invites them for one last visit. The last thing she expects is that any will actually show up.
But one by one, they do show up: The one who hates him. The one who owes her life to him. The one he turned into a lesbian, and the one he taught to dance. And among them is a visitor with the strangest story of all: the young man who may or may not be Artie’s long-lost son.
For Lucy, the jaw-dropping procession of women is an education in the man she can’t forgive and couldn’t leave. And as the women find themselves sharing secrets and sharing tears, they start to discover kindred spirits—and even something that’s a lot like family. But Lucy knows one thing for certain: the biggest surprises are yet to come....
Full of heart, Bridget Asher’s unforgettable novel is about mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and the deep friendships between women. It’s about sweet liars and tenderhearted cheaters—about loving those we love for reasons we can’t always fully rationalize, and about the sort of forgiveness that can change someone’s entire life in the most unexpected and extraordinary ways.
Click HERE to sign up for the free book, which is not Kindle compatible and requires Adobe Digital Editions. Unlike the book last month, this one downloaded right away for me, so you shouldn't have any problems with it.

Okay Karen. I downloaded the Adobe Digital software but I never got the book. I tried several times, but it always popped up a new screen with a string of numbers and letters. I will try again later today. I think I followed all of your instructions. I also want to say how much I appreciate your doing this. I love the free books and the new products you keep us up to date on. I just ordered two of the new Kandles and I am really excited to see how they work. Thank you again.

ADE is a royal pain...
Usually I would try to right click on the link for the book and then save the .acsm file, but sometimes the web site is just encoded incorrectly. This seems to be one of those times. In FireFox, the page loads a three line instruction file, which is apparently a precursor to the .acsm file.
If you copy everything after "eBookURL=" and paste it into the address bar and press Enter, then the .acsm file will be downloaded for you to save (somewhere where you can find it for the next step).
Then open the .acsm file and ADE should take over.
