All’s Fair in Love and War

Posted on December 12, 2019 by Deborah Cooke

There’s a new bundle of my historical romances available for pre-order! All’s Fair in Love and War includes four enemies-to-lovers medieval romances. It will be priced at 99¢ for just a few days, so be sure to pre-order and reserve your copy!

All’s Fair in Love and War: Four Enemies-to-Lovers Medieval Romances

Be swept away by four thrilling medieval romances by the “Queen of Medieval Romance”, each featuring a defiant lady at odds with a persistent and powerful knight. Sparks fly in these battles of wills, but passion will win the day.

In One Knight’s Return, Melissande is compelled by her overlord to marry a rough knight just home from crusade – the alternative is to surrender her family holding completely. She knows the kind of knight who will hold her heart, and Quinn de Sayerne isn’t it. Quinn, on the other hand, knows what it’s like to risk everything and is determined to make their arranged marriage into a real one—no matter what the cost to his beautiful wife’s pride.

In The Scoundrel, Evangeline will do anything to retrieve the relic stolen from the chapel in her family holding, even seduce the thief himself to capture the prize. Gawain has always lived outside the law, a charming rebel protecting his own advantage, but Evangeline’s devotion to Inverfyre makes him question is choices. If he changed his ways, could this beguiling, brilliant, maddening woman come to love him?

In The Rose Red Bride, Erik abducts Vivienne to avenge himself against his wicked brother. Fueled by anger, he expects little of his captive except a son—but Vivienne is precisely the woman to take Erik’s cause once she learns his story. If Vivienne can ensure that Erik’s stolen legacy is regained, will her embittered but honorable husband find room in his heart for her?

In The Warrior’s Prize, Elizabeth challenges Rafael to change his ways, skeptical that the mercenary who nearly cost her brother his life is capable of redemption. But Rafael sees his comrade’s sister as an angel sent to save him, and when he realizes that she’s in peril of being claimed by the Fae king himself, Rafael will pay any price to save the only maiden bold enough to challenge him. But will his all be enough for Elizabeth?

The Beauty Bride in Italian

Posted on November 22, 2019 by Deborah Cooke

This is the first translation that I’ve commissioned of my books and I’m pretty excited about it. The Italian edition of The Beauty Bride is called Un amore da Favola and it’s available now in ebook.

Più preziosi dell’oro sono i Gioielli di Kinfairlie, e solo l’uomo più degno può combattere per ottenere il loro amore…Il Laird di Kinfairlie ha cinque sorelle nubili, ognuna a suo modo una gemma. E lui non ha altra scelta se non quella di trovare loro un marito il più presto possibile.

Il cuore di lady Madeline non è in vendita…Soprattutto per un famigerato fuorilegge come Rhys FitzHenry. Eppure, la sua mano è stata venduta esattamente a quest’uomo, un guerriero stanco di combattere e con una taglia sulla testa. Una fanciulla più docile avrebbe obbedito alla volontà del Laird e accettato in silenzio il proprio destino. Solo che Madeline, che non è mai stata obbediente, decide di scappare, senza neanche immaginare che Rhys possa inseguirla.

Lei non si aspetta che quell’uomo taciturno la corteggi raccontandole storie stravaganti, ognuna delle quali rivelerà le cicatrici che circondano la sua anima. E nemmeno si aspetta che Rhys, pur celando gelosamente i propri sentimenti, possa mettere in pericolo il suo cuore.

Quando il passato di Rhys arriva a minacciare il suo futuro, Madeline decide di credere alla sua innocenza, rischiando la sua stessa vita per abbandonarsi ad una passione più preziosa persino della gemma più rara.
