One Knight’s Bride Today!

Posted on April 20, 2026 by Deborah Cooke

The next medieval romance in my Rogues & Angels series is now available today! One Knight’s Bride is Amaury’s marriage of convenience, which proves to be a lot more passionate than this knight expects. The story is available in both ebook and trade paperback.

One Knight's Bride, book four of the Rogues & Angels series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

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?

One Knight Enchanted, #1 of the Rogues & Angels series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

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?

A Little Break

Posted on December 10, 2025 by Deborah Cooke

If you had pre-ordered any of my books, you may have received a message from the portal that the pre-order has been cancelled. I still intend to write the books, but right now, I’m not very productive. Having the deadline of each pre-order isn’t helping, so I cancelled the pre-orders that were set up for 2026.

Thanks for your understanding!

One Knight’s Bride Updated Publication Date

Posted on December 1, 2025 by Deborah Cooke

I’ve pushed out the publication date for One Knight’s Bride, book 4 in my Rogues & Angels series, until January 21. Although the book is about half done, the words aren’t flowing as well as I’d like. A little extra time – just 30 days more – will help to make Amaury and Isabella’s story the best that it can be. If you have already pre-ordered the book, you may receive a notification from the portal of the delay.

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.
