Next up on my release schedule is The Stolen Bride, Evangeline and Ramsay’s story and book #3 of the Brides of Inverfyre. This one has been pushed back a number of times but I’m working on it now. I plan to publish in January, but when I created the new pre-order at Amazon this week, I set it for February publication. This is because AMZ allows me to move publication dates up but not back. So, I’ll see where we’re at on January 1 with the plan of moving the AMZ date into January (because the book is done). If not and I’m way behind, then the other portals will let me move the date into February.
So, here’s the cover and the copy, with the shiny new AMZ link. This book will also be available in trade paperback and – as usual – the GooglePlay link will populate on the on-sale date.
She will be no man’s prize….
Evangeline Armstrong is resolved to evade the strategic marriage arranged for her by her father, the Hawk of Inverfyre. She feigns compliance, intending to flee to the king’s court for protection once her party is away from Inverfyre. Instead, she is seized by Ramsay MacLaren, an outlaw and her father’s sworn enemy, and compelled to wed him.
Ramsay MacLaren owes a debt to the eldest daughter of the Hawk of Inverfyre, one he will never forget‚ just as he cannot forget the beguiling beauty who helped him escape her father’s dungeon. He has learned that no other woman can satisfy him, though he knows the Hawk would never allow their match. When Ramsay witnesses Evangeline’s departure with only a small party, he sees his chance and claims her for his own.
In morning’s light, Evangeline fears that Ramsay’s sweet words were solely to earn her capitulation—and support his claim to Inverfyre. All the same, she cannot regret the marvel of his touch. Does she dare to trust the warrior whose kiss ignites her very soul? For his part, Ramsay finds himself captivate by the woman he has taken to wife—even at the expense of his own plan for vengeance. Can he truly destroy all of import to her to avenge the past? When Ramsay is challenged by Evangeline’s wealthy betrothed, how can he choose between his vow to his family and the lady who holds his heart in thrall?
Evangeline and Ramsay’s story is coming January 15, 2024.
