Gaston battled for duty and honor—until Ysmaine tempted him to fight for her love…

When the Templar knight Gaston unexpectedly inherits his family estate, he knows he needs a wife and heir. A marriage of convenience to a widow in need of assistance is a practical solution and the newly-wed pair leave Jerusalem, entrusted with the delivery of a package for the Templars. Away from the life he has known for years, Gaston quickly realizes that little is following his plan—especially his mysterious wife, whose presence awakens an unexpected fire…

Twice widowed, Ysmaine doubts she will ever wed again, let alone have a marriage of merit—until she is charmed by the gruff knight intent upon defending her. Ysmaine weds again, not only by her own choice but to a warrior whose honor she admires. She is determined to show Gaston that marriage has more to offer them both than an heir, but first she must win the trust of the wary man she has impulsively wed…

Neither realize that Gaston has been entrusted with the treasure of the Templars—much less that someone in their small party is intent upon claiming the prize at any cost. In a company of strangers with secrets, can Gaston dare to trust his new bride? Can Ysmaine convince Gaston to confide what he knows? Can they solve the riddle together before the villain’s plan comes to fruition and all is lost?

The Beauty Bride in Italian is a FR33 Series Starter!

There are new editions of the Jewels of Kinfairlie available in Italian, and the Italian edition of The Beauty Bride (Un amore da favola) is now a free series starter. Right now, the first three books in the series are available in their new editions – the Italian edition of The Ballad of Rosamunde and of The Renegade’s Heart will be published in new editions in May. The reviews from the previous editions aren’t showing up on these new ones so far, so if you reviewed any of these books in the past, it would be lovely if you could post your review again. 🙂

Un amore da Favola, the Italian translation of The Beauty Bride, a medieval romance by Claire Delacroix

Più preziosi dell’oro sono i Gioielli di Kinfairlie, e solo l’uomo più degno può combattere per ottenere il loro amore…Il Laird di Kinfairlie ha cinque sorelle nubili, ognuna a suo modo una gemma. E lui non ha altra scelta se non quella di trovare loro un marito il più presto possibile.

Il cuore di lady Madeline non è in vendita… Soprattutto per un famigerato fuorilegge come Rhys FitzHenry. Eppure, la sua mano è stata venduta esattamente a quest’uomo, un guerriero stanco di combattere e con una taglia sulla testa. Una fanciulla più docile avrebbe obbedito alla volontà del Laird e accettato in silenzio il proprio destino. Solo che Madeline, che non è mai stata obbediente, decide di scappare, senza neanche immaginare che Rhys possa inseguirla.

Lei non si aspetta che quell’uomo taciturno la corteggi raccontandole storie stravaganti, ognuna delle quali rivelerà le cicatrici che circondano la sua anima. E nemmeno si aspetta che Rhys, pur celando gelosamente i propri sentimenti, possa mettere in pericolo il suo cuore.

Quando il passato di Rhys arriva a minacciare il suo futuro, Madeline decide di credere alla sua innocenza, rischiando la sua stessa vita per abbandonarsi ad una passione più preziosa persino della gemma più rara.

“Un entusiasmante romanzo medievale!”Publishers Weekly

Un amore da favola è un romance storico con una buona dose di avventura, ricco di storie e leggende, un viaggio di una coppia frizzante e appassionata che inizia a conoscersi.”—Maika Medici

Delizioso ed avvincente, questo romanzo scorre facilmente e ci appassiona con tutti i protagonisti, che per non spoilerare troppo ho preferito non nominare. Ognuno di loro gioca un bel ruolo, come dinanzi ad una scacchiera, e vengono mossi i fili giusti per una romantica e magica storia  che porta la firma di una delle più brave scrittrici di romanzi storici e fantasy. Rhys, comunque, resta il mio preferito: come racconta le storie lui… nessuno!“—Il Libro Sel Como’ du Meg

Hazel & Honeysuckle Press

I took the opportunity to create a business name and commission a logo for my publishing company, a job that was long overdue. Hazel & Honeysuckle Press publishes my books, no matter what name I’ve written them under.

I’m starting the site with ebooks, so I don’t have to configure the shipping just yet. The store is open to readers in Canada, the US, the UK and Australia at this point.

All digital content from the store will be delivered automatically via BookFunnel – they provide great technical support if you need it to get your new ebooks onto your device of choice.

I still have plenty more books to add, but you can have a poke around the store now. (I also have to add the buy links to this site and the Delacroix one, but one step at a time.) There’s a discount code in the header for new customers, too.
