Two of my most popular boxed sets will be available in Spanish editions this year, and they’re up for pre-order now. The Jewels of Kinfairlie boxed set and The True Love Brides boxed set will be published in July and December respectively. Read on for more details!

The Jewels of Kinfairlie Boxed Set, including four medieval romances by Claire Delacroix, Spanish edition

Más apreciadas que el oro son las Joyas de Kinfairlie, y solo los más dignos pueden luchar por su amor… El señor de Kinfairlie tiene hermanas solteras, cada una de las cuales es una joya por derecho propio. Y él no tiene más remedio que verlas casarse a toda prisa.

Cuatro mágicos romances medievales de la “Reina del Romance Medieval”, Claire Delacroix. Conoce a los hermanos de la intrépida y amorosa familia de Kinfairlie y sigue sus aventuras en la búsqueda del amor verdadero.

En La bella novia, Madeline está horrorizada por la determinación de su hermano mayor de hacerla casarse en contra de su voluntad. Cuando él subasta su mano a un mercenario desterrado, ella huye de ambos, segura de que su destino no puede ser peor. Pero Rhys FitzHenry no es un hombre que abandone lo que aprecia, y la belleza de la orgullosa Madeline ha cautivado su corazón. ¿Puede un rudo caballero hechizarla con historias y convencerla de que sea su verdadera esposa, o sus enemigos se vengarán primero?

En La novia de la rosa roja, Vivienne está convencida de que solo el destino podría traer a un maravilloso amante secreto a su habitación, pero con la luz de la mañana, su amante la secuestra. Erik sabe que la justicia solo se puede obtener de los Lammergeier por la fuerza, especialmente cuando el destino de sus hijas pequeñas está en juego. ¿Podrá Vivienne ayudar a este escocés herido a recuperar su legado y ganar su corazón?

En La novia blanca como la nieve, Eleanor busca refugio en Kinfairlie durante la Nochebuena. Las hermanas del Señor de Kinfairlie deciden que la hermosa viuda será la pareja perfecta para su hermano. El corazón de Alejandro se pierde rápidamente, pero a medida que se revelan los secretos de Eleanor, él teme haber confiado demasiado en muy poco tiempo. ¿El pasado de Eleanor pondrá en peligro el futuro de este caballero que ha reclamado su corazón, o podrá salvarlo del peligro que la acecha?

The Hunter & the Heiress Trade Paperback

Posted on February 23, 2022 by Deborah Cooke

Progress is being made on alternate editions of Elizabeth and Amaury’s book!

The trade paperback for The Hunter & the Heiress is available this morning at Amazon. It will appear at other portals later this week.

Buy The Hunter & the Heiress in trade paperback:

Amazon.com

Amazon.ca

The Hunter & the Heiress, book two of the Blood Brothers series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix, hard cover large print edition

There also is a large print hardcover edition coming. This one is also processing today and should be available by early next week.

Here’s the cover for the hardcover large print edition. I’ll share buy links when it’s available.

Mr. Math is proof-listening the audiobook of Amaury and Elizabeth’s book, and is really enjoying Tim Campbell’s narration. I expect he’ll be done tomorrow, then there will be a few corrections made, then the audiobook will be reviewed for publication at ACX. It’s hard to anticipate how long that will take (it partly depends on the length of the queue) but I hope it will be available in early March.

If you’re looking for The Hunter & the Heiress in ebook, it’s been removed from sale at most portals so it can be enrolled in KDP Select. It has to be available exclusively at Amazon for that, so I’m watching the few hold-out portals and waiting for them to take down their listings. Ideally, that should happen today or tomorrow, and I hope to have The Hunter & the Heiress enrolled in KDP Select on the weekend.

The Hunter & the Heiress Update

Posted on February 10, 2022 by Deborah Cooke

The Hunter & the Heiress has been loaded at all of the portals, which means there are more pre-order links today. You’ll find the book listed for pre-order at GooglePlay now, and it will become available to libraries, too. Remember that this book will be in wide publication for a week before becoming exclusive to Amazon and being enrolled in Kindle Unlimited.

The two print editions – trade paperback and hardcover large print – should also be available next week, and the audiobook will probably be available in March.

I have updated the Blood Brothers Character List here on the website and will work on the Pinterest page this weekend—as well as compose some more posts about my research for you.

This one came right down to the wire, but I love the book and hope you do, too!

The Hunter & the Heiress, book two of the Blood Brothers series of medieval Scottish romances by Claire Delacroix

Nothing could be further from Amaury de Vries’ expectations than joining his half-brother’s company of mercenaries in the wilds of Scotland. A knight and a champion at the joust, he expected to inherit a holding—until the man he has known as his father revealed a terrible truth and disavowed him. Left with nothing, Amaury rides to Kilderrick, where he loses his heart to a beautiful noblewoman in the forest. A practical man, he knows he has no right to court the lady, but when she is abducted, Amaury follows, determined to fulfill his knightly duty by aiding a damsel in distress.

Elizabeth d’Acron has been a pawn and a prize, pursued for her father’s wealthy holding, and wants only to be desired for herself. Seized again, she vows she will surrender to no man—even the handsome knight who comes to her rescue. And truly, there could be no one more vexing than this confident yet inscrutable man, so concerned with duty that he could be wrought of stone—but Elizabeth soon learns that she can trust Amaury to defend her at any cost. She does not expect the seductive fire awakened by his touch, much less his conquest of her wary heart—but has she fallen in love with a man whose affections are already claimed?

Snared between duty and passion, Amaury finds himself beguiled by the lady who challenges his every expectation, but knows he has little to offer her. But when Elizabeth is threatened by a former suitor who will not be refused, Amaury risks his all in her defense, hoping it will be enough. But can he intervene in time? And will love alone convince Elizabeth to place her hand in his for all time?

Coming in February 15, 2022!

The Hunter & the Heiress will be available in wide distribution for one week after publication, then it will be exclusive to Amazon and enrolled in Kindle Unlimited.

The Hunter and the Heiress Publication Date

Posted on January 3, 2022 by Deborah Cooke

If you’ve pre-ordered The Hunter & the Heiress, you’ve likely received a notification from your portal of choice that the publication date has been changed. I moved it out a couple of weeks to February 15. This is the end of the halo from writing those two Regency novellas and I had feeling it might be necessary, which was why I didn’t schedule anything else in February. This just gives everyone involved a little bit more time to do their part. I am loving this story and am sure you’ll enjoy it too. Amaury and Elizabeth have so much in common, yet so much to teach each other. These two are earning their HEA!

If you haven’t reserved your copy of The Hunter & the Heiress yet, this is a great time to do so!

Nothing could be further from Amaury de Vries’ expectations than being compelled to join a company of mercenaries in the wilds of Scotland, much less one led by his notorious half-brother. He chafes to return to his former life of privilege and knows a wealthy bride will allow him to regain his stolen legacy. Elizabeth is a prize unexpected—beautiful and an heiress—and when she is abducted by barbarians, Amaury’s path is clear. He may not be the sole contender for the lady’s hand, but he knows himself to be the best one—and he will use whatever means necessary to seal his triumphant claim.

All Elizabeth D’Acron desires is to wed for love, but her inheritance has made her both a pawn and a prize. Caught between warring chieftains, her defiance blossoms—she chooses instead to flee with Amaury and make a marriage of convenience, hoping her trust in the gallant knight is not misplaced. She does not expect the beguiling fire awakened by Amaury’s touch, much less his unexpected conquest of her heart, and she dares to hope that true love has found a way.

But Elizabeth’s legacy is not so readily claimed—when Amaury’s plan is revealed, she is shattered to learn that her chivalrous husband is no different from other men. Recognizing that the true prize is his lady wife, Amaury rejoins the company of mercenaries and leads the battl to ensure Elizabeth’s freedom, whatever the cost to himself. Can these two lovers overcome the wounds of the past to build a future together? Or will the secret behind Elizabeth’s inheritance destroy any such hope forever?

Coming in February 2022!

The Hunter & the Heiress will ba availble in wide distribution for one week after publication, then it will be exclusive to Amazon and enrolled in Kindle Unlimited.

The Dragon & the Damsel Pre-order

Posted on December 13, 2021 by Deborah Cooke

The Dragon & the Damsel, book three of the Blood Brothers trilogy of medieval Scottish romances by Claire Delacroix

A mercenary convinced that each man must see to his own survival first, Rafael has learned to savor the moment and its pleasures. He is interested solely in conquest and coin, not any promise of the future—until an alluring maiden challenges him, defying him to stake a claim. Rafael cannot resist Ceara with her flame-red hair and keen wits, but their cat-and-mouse game takes a dangerous turn when Ceara is stolen by her kin. Rafael cannot stand aside when the damsel’s survival is at risk—though if she has stolen his shielded heart, she must never know of his weakness…

Ceara fled an arranged marriage, determined to wed for love or not at all. A horsewoman and huntress herself, she has encountered no man worthy of her affection—until she matches wits with Rafael, with his flashing eyes and seductive touch. She knows the handsome warrior seeks only one prize from her, but hopes to steal his heart. When she is captured and compelled to return to her betrothed, she is thrilled that Rafael lends chase. When he claims her as his own bride, Ceara dares to hope for more than a marriage of convenience.

But Rafael appears to be interested solely in conquest and passion, and their match becomes a battle of wills. Will Ceara be cast aside when her newfound spouse is offered the prize he desires above all else? Warrior and damsel, can these two wounded souls learn to surrender the truth of their hearts—before their union is shattered forever?
