The store also discounts by percentages or dollar amounts, instead of letting me set a fixed price in every currency. (There may be a way to do that which I haven’t found yet.) So, the price might be off by a penny or two. The $CA price, for example, on The Beauty Bride is $4.00 instead of $3.99.

A Most Inconvenient Earl is 99¢

June’s bargain read is A Most Inconvenient Earl, a marriage-of-convenience Regency romance that is a lot of fun.

A Most Inconvenient Earl, book four of the Brides of North Barrows series of Regency romances by Claire Delacroix, is just 99cents through the end of June.

Although it’s book four of the Brides of North Barrows series, it’s a good introduction to Eurydice and Sebastian, who are continuing characters in The Ladies’ Essential Guide to the Art of Seduction, my current Regency romance series set in the same fictional world. Don’t forget that The Hellion’s Heart, the next book in that series, publishes in July.

There will also be a sale for subscribers on The Brides of North Barrows Boxed Set in this month’s Knights & Rogues newsletter, so don’t forget to sign up.


A Most Inconvenient Earl, book four of the Brides of North Barrows series of Regency romance novellas by Claire Delacroix

Eurydice Goodenham is convinced that a marriage of convenience with the notorious Sebastian Montgomery, Earl of Rockmorton, would be ideal: in exchange for one child, she can retreat to the library of his country house to write, while he continues his scandalous life in London. But when she finds herself falling in love with her unpredictable, mischievous and secretly honorable husband, does she have any hope of claiming his heart?

Sebastian is bored with the world’s amusements, until his friend’s ward makes a startling proposal. He can’t help but challenge Eurydice’s expectations in return. A wild escape to Gretna Green convinces him that his unexpected bride is perfect for him—except that Eurydice doesn’t believe in love. Can Sebastian win this bluestocking’s reluctant heart in time to save a Christmas—and a marriage—going awry?

The Renegade's Heart, #1 of the True Love Brides series of medieval Scottish romances by Claire Delacroix

She would risk everything to save his soul…

Released from the captivity of the Fae, Murdoch Seton wants nothing more than to forget his lost years. Undertaking a quest to recover treasure stolen from his family seems the perfect solution – but Murdoch is not counting upon a curious maiden who holds both the secret to the theft and his sole redemption.

Isabella is outraged to find her brother’s keep besieged by a renegade knight—especially one who is too handsome for his own good or hers. After a single encounter, she becomes convinced that his cause is just and decides to unveil the true thief, never imagining that their single shared kiss has launched a battle for Murdoch’s very soul.

As the treacherous Fae move to claim Murdoch forever, Isabella seeks to heal the knight who has stolen her heart. But will Murdoch allow her to take a risk and endanger herself? Or will he sacrifice himself to ensure Isabella’s future?

The Duke’s Desire & the Ladies’ Essential Guide to the Art of Seduction

Sometimes characters don’t follow the author’s plans.

The Hellion’s Heart, book four of The Ladies’ Essential Guide to the Art of Seduction series of Regency romances by Claire Delacroix

The romance between the Duke of Haynesdale and Esmeralda Ballantyne was planned to be a sub-plot that carried through the entire series of The Ladies’ Essential Guide to the Art of Seduction. By book four (The Hellion’s Heart) it’s become clear to me that these two need their own book and so they’ll get it.

Some of the scenes in their book will appear in earlier books in the series. They may be shorter or told from another point-of-view. This book will include more (new) scenes and more detail about these two. It will be published as book seven in the series so that there are no spoilers in the other books of the series—you’ll know they’re together by the end of book six, but The Duke’s Desire will fill in all the gaps.

Publication is planned for a year out because there will be two more books in the series first:

• The Hellion’s Heart will be published in July

• Book five will release in October 2024

• Book six will release in January 2025

The Duke's Desire, book seven in The Ladies' Essential Guide to the Art of Seduction Regency romance series by Claire Delacroix

• The Duke’s Desire, book seven, will be an April 2025 release.

• Book eight will be Sylvie’s story with publication planned for August 2025.

• The series will wrap up with a Christmas novella in November 2025.

The pre-order for each book will be created when the book itself is completed, so keep an eye out for those. I really like this plan. Once I get ahead of things a bit, I’ll see about sliding some other stories into my schedule, too.

I’ll show off some of the new covers in my next Knights & Rogues newsletter, including The Duke’s Desire. That goes out June 5 so there’s still time to sign up.
