One Knight’s Bride, book four of my Rogues & Angels series of medieval romances is finished and publishing this month! Amaury and Isabella’s marriage of convenience is full of action, adventure and suspense, and I’m excited to send their story out into the world.
The pre-order links are populating at the portals for April 20 publication. If you pre-ordered the book for the previously-scheduled publication date, your pre-order will be fulfilled at all portals except Amazon. There’s a new product number and link at Amazon.
You can also buy the book in my online store, as well, and get the ebook early – those orders will deliver on April 7.
I’ll share links for the trade paperback once they’re live. It was wonderful to return to the Middle Ages again, and I’m looking forward to writing the next story in this series. That will be Thierry Douglas’ book. 🙂
Amaury de Montvieux returns home from crusade expecting change – but not that his legacy has been claimed by a neighbor, or that his sole hope of regaining his inheritance is to marry the conqueror’s daughter. The maiden is known to be both plain and a shrew, but Amaury does not care: he must hold Montvieux, regardless of the price. He’s never believed that love should stand in the way of matters of importance. Marriage it will be.
Isabella de Marnis is not one to spurn fortune’s favor. She secretly admired the handsome knight Amaury, son and heir of her father’s enemy, long before he rode to crusade. She’s thrilled that he will be her husband and would give him anything – but when Isabella soon realizes that Amaury’s heart belongs to Montvieux alone, fears she is no more than a useful pawn.
No sooner are their vows exchanged than Isabella’s older brother dies in a mysterious accident. When her father is murdered, Isabella fears that those from Montvieux have taken their revenge. Captive in her ancestral home, she never expects Amaury to storm the gates to come to her aid, much less to suggest they join forces to unveil the villain. In every way, Amaury proves himself the valiant warrior of Isabella’s dreams. Her own heart is lost – but when she ensures that his legacy is regained, will Amaury cast her aside forever?
My store is on the move, from WooCommerce back to Shopify.
For the moment, neither version is visible as the domain is being transferred. Once that’s done, I’ll need to rebuild all the links here on the site to the new store. The book delivery links at BookFunnel will have to be updated, too.
The new links will be purple, like this:
The old ones, which no longer work, were green.
The main reason for the change is that I could not get the shipping calculator to work on WooCommerce. It worked right away on Shopify. There are other things, but that was the big one.
I have most of the books loaded at Shopify, and the print ones are ready to be displayed (and shipped). Once the domain transfers, I’ll make the new store public, even as I work on rebuilding the ebook delivery links.
A new year is a good opportunity for change. Now that my online store lists most of my books, it’s time to do more there.
In 2026, I’ll be featuring a book (or audiobook) each week at my online store, Hazel & Honeysuckle Press. Subscribers to the H&H newsletter will receive an email each Monday, sharing the feature and a discount code for subscribers to save on that title.
You need the code to get the deal. It’s that simple.
You can subscribe to the Hazel & Honeysuckle Press newsletter in the store. There’s a pop-up form in the store that will appear while you’re browsing, or you can use the banner at the top of the home page to sign up. (Both appear after 15 seconds.) You can also sign up when you make a purchase or download a free book.
No matter how you sign up, please be sure to check your email for a confirmation message and confirm your subscription.
The first two books in my Rogues & Angels series of medieval romances are on sale this week – remember that book #4 is coming in December. Here’s your chance to catch up on the series!
Cursed to take the form of the wolf by day, Rolfe de Viandin is skeptical that love can save him. All he wants is to return home from crusade by the Yule and even the pleasures of a magical palace cannot console him…until a beautiful and bold maiden arrives at his gates, seeking sanctuary, and Rolfe’s hope is restored.
Hunted in the forest, Annelise de Sayerne has to surrender her desire to wed for love, as the price of entering the only refuge is marriage to its enigmatic lord. She fears he must be a monster, but once she experiences his kindness, Annelise resolves to find love with her new husband—if she can just claim his heart.
Even as Rolfe is beguiled by his bride and Annelise unravels his secrets, a spurned suitor pursues Annelise, determined to claim her legacy at any price. If Rolfe’s curse is not broken, how can he defend his beloved wife from the villain? Will their future be lost before it is truly won—or will Rolfe be convinced of the power of love in time?
Quinn de Sayerne vowed never to return home while his wicked father drew breath. Twenty years after his departure, the knight and crusader is summoned to claim his family holding after his father’s death. But the overlord decrees that Quinn must wed Melissande, the beautiful but frosty heiress of neighboring Annossy. Quinn resolves to win the heart of his lady wife, no matter what the cost, and thence the seal of Sayerne.
Melissande cannot believe that her liege lord has ignored her betrothal and wed her to a mercenary. Worse, he has granted her beloved Annossy to her new husband against her every protest. Though Melissande finds herself the chattel of this rough knight, she is determined to fight Quinn on every front—for the sake of her betrothal, Annossy, and her own pride.
But Annossy itself is in danger with brigands raiding its borders. Quinn is charged to oust the villains, but soon fears his lady wife is in peril—or is she allied with the brigands? Can this pair come to trust each other in time to work together for the sake of the future, or will a villain’s evil scheme cost them both everything they hold dear?
When the grim Lord de Tulley bequests his legacy to his niece and decides to arrange her marriage, the maiden in question knows that no man of sense will decline such a rich prize of a bride. Her jest, undertaken to ensure her survival and ease an old man’s loneliness, has become deadly serious. To Heloise’s dismay, Tulley chooses Lothair the Viking as his successor. Lothair is unlike the other knights in his company—just as powerful and decisive as his fellows, quiet Lothair is also perceptive. His very presence makes Heloise’s heart flutter and not just because she fears he will uncover her deepest secret. A man of honor like Lothair can only reveal the truth to Tulley and Heloise dreads the result. Can she charm her taciturn betrothed for the greater good?
A warrior and a healer, Lothair is accustomed to being caught between objectives. Still, experience has not prepared him for the temptation of Lady Heloise, the beautiful niece of his overlord. The maiden’s very presence steals his wits and renders him mute, while her barest glance fills his heart with wild yearning.
When Lothair discovers that Heloise is not the maiden she pretends to be, he is once again snared—between honor and duty, his dawning love for his new wife, and the lady’s determination to keep her secret. Can he dare to trust the woman who has stolen his heart, or is he just a willing pawn to his lady? Can Heloise trust the knight who swears to defend her forever instead of fleeing—or will her past demand its due from both of them first?
Amaury de Montvieux returns home from crusade expecting change—but not that his legacy has been claimed by a neighbor, much less that the only way to regain his inheritance is to marry the intruder’s daughter. The maiden is known to be both plain and a shrew, but Amaury does not care: he must hold Montvieux, regardless of the price. He’s never believed that love should stand in the way of questions of importance. Marriage it will be.
Isabella de Marnis secretly admired the handsome knight Amaury, heir of her father’s enemy, long before he rode to crusade, and welcomes this arranged marriage. But no sooner is their betrothal announced than Isabella’s older brother dies in a mysterious hunting accident. When her father succumbs to his grief, Isabella is left alone and Marnis undefended. Fearing that Amaury is responsible, Isabella takes refuge in her ancestral home.
Not to be denied, Amaury storms the gates to claim his bride and secure his legacy. Once victorious, he hears whispers of a plot against him. Has the old enmity between their families undermined their vows? Has his clever wife been scheming to hold Marnis in her own right? Or is she a pawn, trapped in a web of another’s making, in need of Amaury’s protection? Choosing to trust his new bride is the boldest choice he has ever made, but Amaury knows that they can only triumph together. His sole hope is that their alliance is not made too late – but he has not guessed how much Isabella will surrender out of her newfound love for him.
