Sample of One Knight’s Return

Posted on January 21, 2019 by Deborah Cooke

One Knight's Return, #2 of the Rogues & Angels series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix The 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

Posted on January 9, 2019 by Deborah Cooke

I 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.)

I’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?

New Links for Audio

Posted on January 7, 2019 by Deborah Cooke

As I mentioned to you a while back, my audio distribution changed as of January 1. This means new links for my audiobooks at the portals other than Audible and Amazon.

The links at NookAudio are now live. 🙂 I’ve updated them on the individual book pages, but you can see all eleven historical romance audiobooks on this page of search results at NookAudio.

The links at Kobo are also live, with a few tweaks to be made. The page links will remain the same, even after the tweaking. You can find them all on this page of search results at Kobo.

The Apple links are taking longer to populate, which is typical. I’ll let you know when they’re live.

With this new distribution agreement, my audiobooks are (or will be) available at a lot of other retail and library portals, too, including: 24Symbols, Audiobooks.com, beek, Downpour, eStories, GooglePlay, hibooks, hummingbird, Instaread, librofm, Nextory, Playster, Scribd, Storytel, 3Leaf, Baker & Taylor, bibliotheca, Ebsco, Follett, hoopla, Odilo, Overdrive, Permabound and wheelers. Phew!
