The Crusader’s Bride

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?

Buying Signed Books

I’ve added a couple of pages to the site for you to order books directly from me. You’ll receive your books signed, and I’ll tuck in some swag, too.

I had all these plans to install a store app (like Woocommerce or Shopify) here on the site and also on my Deborah Cooke website, but it was complicated. I’ve gone with the simpler solution now, and just added Paypal buttons.

There are some individual books on this page, and some series bundles on this page. You’ll find them both under the Store tab on the menu bar.

I have a lot of other books, including backlist mass market editions. If there’s something you’d like and you don’t see it in the current listings – or you’re chasing a specific edition to match the ones you have – or if you live outside the US and Canada and would like a postage price, please comment on this post or send me an email (deborah@deborahcooke.com) and we’ll figure it out. 🙂

The Snow White Bride, book three of the Jewels of Kinfairlie sereis of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix, German edition

Der Laird von Kinfairlie hat seinen Schwestern – jede für sich ein Juwel – geholfen, Ehegatten zu finden. Nun wünscht er selbst zu heiraten und setzt seine Hoffnungen auf die schneeweiße Braut.

Lady Eleanor weiß es besser, als von Romantik und Liebe zu träumen. Zweimal verheiratet, um die Bündnisse ihres Vaters zu festigen, hat sie gelernt, dass sie nur wegen ihres Vermögens begehrt wird. Als die Schwestern des Lairds von Kinfairlie sie bitten, ihren Bruder Alexander zu heiraten, willigt Eleanor ein. Sie erhofft sich davon nicht mehr, als vor Gefahr geschützt zu sein.

Aber Alexander ist ganz anders als die Männer, denen sie bisher begegnet ist. Er legt mehr Wert auf ein Lächeln von ihr als auf Gehorsam. Er weiß ihren Rat genauso zu schätzen wie ihre neu erwachte Leidenschaft … und ahnt nicht, dass Eleanor der Schlüssel zu einem Vermögen ist, das die Zukunft von all dem sichern könnte, was ihm lieb und teuer ist.

Doch skrupellose Feinde schrecken vor nichts zurück, um Eleanor in ihre Gewalt zu bringen. Wird sie es wagen, ihrem neuen Ehemann zu vertrauen, bevor es für sie, Alexander und Kinfairlie zu spät ist?


Die schneeweiße Braut ist auch als Hörbuch in englischer Sprache erhältlich.

The Princess is FREE!

In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day and all things Irish, The Princess, book one of my Bride Quest series of medieval romances, is FREE March 16 to 19, Seattle time. This book is set in medieval Ireland, which makes it the perfect choice for some lucky reading.


The Princess, #1 of The Princess, #1 of the Bride Quest series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

Princess Brianna of Tullymullagh is determined to marry only for love—until her father’s holding is conquered and the king decrees that she must wed one of the victor’s sons. Thinking she can outwit this condition, Brianna issues a challenge: the son who brings her a gift that makes her laugh will win her hand.

Thus begins the Bride Quest of the three brothers Fitzgavin.

Burke and Rowan, knights both, ride out on Brianna’s quest, each intent upon triumph. Only Luc refuses to participate, for he knows that a princess had no place in the life of a battle-weary warrior like himself. Brianna is not inclined to accept his refusal—she tempts him and awakens his slumbering senses with her alluring beauty and her sweet kisses. Luc has sworn to lay down his sword forever—until he is the sole one who can defend the fair maiden who has claimed his shielded heart.
