Today, through September 18, my medieval romance The Countess is free at all portals! The Countess is book 4 of the Bride Quest series, but the Bride Quest is actually two linked trilogies: you should read each trilogy in order, but you can start with book 1 or book 4.

The Countess, #4 of the Bride Quest series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

Driven from her late husband’s estate, Countess Eglantine de Crevy fled to wildest Scotland to claim a castle, only to find a ruin—and a clan chieftain standing guard. Kinbeath was hers, she declared, vowing to rebuild the manor and launch a bride quest so her daughters could marry for love. But Duncan MacLaren had devised a bride quest of his own, swearing to win the land—and the fiery countess—in a war of sweet seduction…

Eglantine declared she would never be captured by this barbarian. Yet Duncan awakened passions she had never known before. She promised to fight him with every weapon at her command even as he vowed to woo her for a year and a day—and make her his pagan bride.

Each thought Kinbeath the prize the most desired, a prize to be won at any price. Until passion turned to love, and the chieftain found himself fighting for the heart and hand of the woman he was born to possess.

“Master storyteller Claire Delacroix has done it again with this marvelous medieval romance. The setting is realistic, and her beautifully written prose is sexy, funny, charming and totally satisfying. The Countess is a keeper!”

The Dragon & the Damsel Delayed 30 Days

I’ve moved the publication date for Rafael and Ceara’s book out one month, just to give a little breathing room. With my books coming out of Kindle Unlimited, there have been a lot of admin tasks to complete and I’m feeling the press of time. That extra month will ensure that I have time to make the book the best it can be.

If you’ve pre-ordered the book, you’ll likely receive a notification from your portal of choice. You don’t have to do anything. 🙂

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?

I’ve also had the Boxed Sets removed from Kindle Unlimited. They won’t be available at the other retailers until all of the individual books are wide again.

The Blood Brothers series is the only one that will remain in Kindle Unlimited.

I’ve also added a lot more buy links for print editions and have added print and audio buy links to the Books2Read pages.

For September, The Countess will be a free read. It’s starting to go free at some portals – Amazon will be the last, of course, but you can grab it now at GooglePlay, Apple or Smashwords.

The rest of my medieval romance backlist comes out of KU September 14. If you have KU reading to do, now’s the time to get to it!
