A Baron for All Seasons available in German

Posted on February 21, 2023 by Deborah Cooke

A Baron for All Seasons, book three of my Brides of North Barrows series of Regency romances, is now available in a German edition. You can read it free in Kindle Unlimited!

A number of my German and Spanish editions hopped out of Kindle Unlimited last month for some reason (? they were supposed to automatically renew). I realized that last week and re-enrolled them, just FYI.

A Baron for All Seasons, a Regency romance novella and book three of the Brides of North Barrows series by Claire Delacroix, German edition

Rupert Haskell meinte schon immer, dass Anthea, die jüngere Schwester seines Freundes Alexander, eine ausgezeichnete Braut wäre, aber der Verlust seines Erbes machte es ihm unmöglich, ihr den Hof zu machen. Gefangen zwischen seiner Ehre und seinem Herzen, kann er seine Wertschätzung für Anthea nur zeigen, indem er den Makel, der auf ihrem Namen lastet, auslöscht – auch wenn das bedeutet, dass er zusehen muss, wie sie einen anderen Mann heiratet.

Anthea Armstrong verließ London in ihrer ersten Saison, nachdem sie fälschlicherweise des Diebstahls beschuldigt worden war. Jetzt, da der wahre Bösewicht gefasst wurde, ist sie in die Stadt zurückgekehrt, um die Hochzeit ihres Bruders vorzubereiten. Sie hofft, dem geheimnisvollen Verehrer wieder zu begegnen, der ihr auf einem Maskenball mit einem Kuss das Herz gestohlen hat. Als sie erkennt, dass es sich bei dem geheimnisvollen Mann um niemand anderen als Rupert Haskell handelt, kann sie diesen stolzen Ehrenmann überzeugen, der Liebe eine Chance zu geben?

The Crusader's Bride, book one of the Champions of St. Euphemia series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix in audio

I revisited the pricing on my audiobooks this week and have lowered the prices on the older editions, including The Rogue, The Jewels of Kinfairlie, The True Love Brides, and The Champions of St. Euphemia. The full-length audiobooks have gone from $14.99US to $9.99US and the library pricing has dropped too. I can’t control the prices at Amazon and Audible, but they’ll change elsewhere. (Maybe Amazon will match the prices. I’m not sure as audio is different.) The prices have already changed at KOBO and will perk through to other portals over the next few weeks.

The Beauty Bride, #1 of the Jewels of Kinfairlie series of medieval Scottish romances by Claire Delacroix is also available in audio

My audiobooks are also available at Spotify now and I’ve added those links to the landing pages here on the website (as well as in Books2Read). Spotify isn’t available in all geos (not in Canada, but definitely US and UK.), so the link will just go 404 if they’re not in your geo.

I’d like to get some reviews on Spotify for my audiobooks, so will be giving away some redemption codes in my March Knights & Rogues newsletter. Keep an eye out for that if you’re an audiobook fan!

If you haven’t signed up for my newsletter yet, you can do that right here.

The Stolen Bride Cover Reveal

Posted on February 6, 2023 by Deborah Cooke

The Stolen Bride, book three of the Brides of Inverfyre series of medieval Scottish romances by Claire Delacroix

The Stolen Bride is Evangeline and Ramsay’s book, book three of the Brides of Inverfyre series of medieval Scottish romances. This pair met in The Runaway Bride and there’s a lot of energy between them. Evangeline, of course, will be expected to make a strategic marriage but won’t be pleased about it. I’m thinking Ramsay will offer the perfect temptation for her to defy her father, the Hawk, and to evade her arranged marriage. Hmm. But why does Ramsay want to marry her? Evangeline may think she’s jumped from the fat to the fire…

This one will be published in December 🙂

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 December 26, 2024.

The Warrior’s Prize now Available in Italian

Posted on January 20, 2023 by Deborah Cooke

The Warrior’s Prize, book four of the True Love Brides series of medieval Scottish romances, is now available in an Italian edition called La ricompensa del guerriero.

La ricompensa del guerriero

La fanciulla era solo un altro bottino da conquistare…finchè non fu lei a rubargli il cuore e a cambiare la sua vita per sempre.

Indignata per il fatto che l’anima dell’amato fratello sia destinata a diventare il tributo che le fate pagheranno all’Inferno, Elizabeth sa che deve salvarlo. Dopotutto, è l’unica della sua famiglia in grado di vederle ed è già caduta nella trappola che il loro re in persona le ha teso. Malcom può anche essersi comportato onorevolmente, offrendosi al posto dell’amico, ma Elizabeth sa chi tra i due è più meritevole di vivere e di certo non è quella bella canaglia di Rafael, che bada unicamente ai propri interessi. Dovrebbe essere facile fare una scommessa con un mercenario, soprattutto perché ad Elizabeth non importa il prezzo che dovrà pagare. Con sua grande sorpresa, però, Rafael non solo accetta la sfida, ma annulla l’incantesimo del re Finvarra con baci che le trasformano il sangue in fuoco liquido. Possibile che sia proprio questo guerriero apparentemente senza cuore l’amore che le è stato destinato e che lei aspetta da sempre?

Al primo incontro, Rafael crede che Elizabeth sia un angelo inviato dal cielo per giudicare i suoi misfatti e sa bene quale sarà il suo verdetto. La necessità di sopravvivere lo ha costretto a fare delle scelte delle quali non è orgoglioso. Ma Elizabeth lo sfida a cambiare, e la sua audacia risveglia in lui una nobiltà d’animo che aveva dimenticato di possedere. Riuscirà questa coraggiosa fanciulla a sanare le ferite del suo passato? Riuscirà Rafael a guadagnarsi il diritto di donarle la vita che merita, e, soprattutto, a farlo prima che il re delle fate tenda la sua trappola, rendendo Elizabeth sua prigioniera per sempre?

It has been the week for translations! My Regency romance, The Christmas Conquest, is now available in Spanish.

La conquista navidena is the Spanish translation of The Christmas Conquest, book one of the Ladies' Essential Guide to the Art of Seduction Regency romance series by Claire Delacroix

El amor no era parte del plan cuando su matrimonio fue arreglado…

Rhys Bettencourt, barón de Trevelaine tenía la intención de evadir la maldición de su familia. El matrimonio arreglado con una vulgar literata con fortuna debería haber asegurado la concepción de un heredero. Después de todo, eran las amadas esposas de los Bettencourt quienes morían dando a luz. Pero la práctica Catherine minó los planes de su marido al robarle el corazón. La única manera de Rhys para protegerla era negarles, a los dos, la satisfacción física en contra de sus propios deseos.

Catherine Carruthers se contentó por casarse por consideraciones prácticas y aceptó el matrimonio arreglado para complacer a su familia. Dos años después, Catherine estaba segura de que su aristócrata y apuesto marido se arrepentía de su elección y que su matrimonio nunca vería una mejora. Ella acepta la invitación de ir a Rockmorton Manor por Navidad y tomarse un tiempo para decidir si deja a Rhys y regresa a la casa de su padre. Sin embargo, nada más llegar, Catherine descubrirá unas hojas con sensuales consejos dejadas en su habitación –sin tener en cuenta que Rhys está determinado a convencerla para que se quede. ¿Puede ser su matrimonio salvado?

Armada con información y con poco que perder, Catherine se embarca en una aventura de seducción que Rhys no será capaz de resistir… incluso si teme por el destino de su esposa al dejarse caer en la tentación. Atrapado entre el amor y la maldición familiar, ¿podrá Rhys encontrar una manera de mantener a su adorada esposa a su lado?

Esta edición incluye el epilogo adicional Regalo en la noche de Navidad.
