The Crusader's Bride, #1 of the Champions of St. Euphemia series of medieval romances by Claire DelacroixThere is a NOOK sale featuring first-in-series books from authors who are members of Novelists Inc starting today – which includes yours truly. 🙂 It’s called the Nook Book Bash.
Using the discount code, you can get first-in-series books free. This includes Kiss of Fire by Deborah Cooke, The Crusader’s Bride by Claire Delacroix and Snowbound by Deborah Cooke. The cool thing about this sale is that you can then save 25% on the second book in that series. There are lots of other books too, so have a look. Remember to use the discount code.
Nook also has a reading app but this sale code (which you apply at checkout) won’t work when you shop from a mobile device or an app, just FYI.
The landing page for the Nook Book Bash (which goes through Feb 28) is right here.

Sample of One Knight’s Return

One Knight's Return, #2 of the Rogues & Angels series of medieval romances by Claire DelacroixThe Rogues & Angels series of medieval romances continues with the tale of Quinn’s return home to Sayerne.

Knight and crusader Quinn de Sayerne vowed never to return home while his villainous father drew breath. Twenty years after his departure, he is notified of his father’s death and summoned by his liege lord to claim his family holding. But his overlord has a stipulation: Quinn must wed Melissande, the beauteous heiress of neighboring Annossy. Quinn hoped to make a match based on more than mutual animosity, but he is resolved to win the heart of his lady wife, at any cost.

Melissande cannot believe that her liege lord has not only compelled her to break an old betrothal but wed her to a ruffian—and granted the seal of Annossy to him, despite her expertise. It is the dream of Quinn’s father brought to fruition, for the holdings will be merged just as he long schemed. But her overlord cannot be defied and she finds herself the chattel of this rough knight, despite her every protest.

Can Quinn win his lady’s reluctant heart? Or is he doomed to lose Melissande forever when her betrothed returns?

An earlier version of this story was published as My Lady’s Champion. What’s different? Ha. Pretty much everything – except Quinn, who I still adore. 🙂 The book has been completely revised, and there are new scenes linking the company of Rogues & Angels to the story. Tulley has a niece now, too.

Coming April 23, 2019.

New Trope Buttons

First in SeriesI had an idea over the holidays and put it to work earlier this month. We all have our favorite tropes – like Second Chance or Marriage of Convenience or Hidden Heir – so I’ve added some buttons to the index page of my site. (Scroll down from Next & New to find them.)

Enemies to LoversI’ve sorted my books by trope, so each button takes you to a gallery of covers for books that fit that trope. You can click on the cover to go to the detail page for that book.

I think this is fun. What do you think? Is it useful to you? What tropes do you think I missed?
