The Heiress 25th Anniversary Commemorative Edition

My campaign is underway at Kickstarter to celebrate 25 years since the original launch of my Bride Quest series of medieval romances.

There are new editions of the six Bride Quest books coming to retailers in November. Each book has a new cover illustration of the couple. The image is the cover of the new mass market paperback edition. It’s also the case laminate on the new hardcover edition, which has an image similar to the current trade paperback on the dust jacket. These books will be available for pre-order shortly – the new editions of The Princess is already available for pre-order and I’ve added the links to the landing page here on the site.

But you can order advance copies of the new books through this Kickstarter campaign, running through June 10. I’m also doing the cover reveals during the campaign.

Here is the new cover illustration of Burke and Alys for The Heiress:

Can’t you just hear Bronwyn straightening out Rowan? 🙂

Rowan and Bronwyn’s story is an enemies-to-lovers story and a battle of wills, between an apparent rogue seeking a wealthy bride and an heiress in disguise. This romance is filled with action and adventure, and is just plain fun.

Here are the current editions of the book, including the ebook at left, the new mass market edition, the current trade paperback edition and the new hard cover.

Here’s the new hard cover with both dust jacket and case laminate.

You can order copies of these new editions through Kickstarter until June 10, and receive your copies early, signed or personalized, and get some swag. Every backer at Kickstarter, for example, gets the ebook of the new bonus epilogue to the Bride Quest I, Christmas at Tullymullagh.

Today, I have a stretch goal on the campaign – if we reach 30 backers, every backer will get three downloadable coloring pages of the new covers. I’ll use the mass market paperback covers for these, so there will be lots to color. You can back the campaign for just $5 CA to help us reach this goal, and you’ll get an advance copy of the new short story, Christmas at Tullymullagh, as well as the colorling pages and any other digital assets added to the campaign before next Saturday.

Here’s the schedule for the campaign.

I’ll be revealing the cover illustration for The Countess on Saturday. Isn’t this exciting?

The Damsel 25th Anniversary Commemorative Edition

Yesterday, I launched my campaign at Kickstarter to celebrate 25 years since the original launch of my Bride Quest series of medieval romances. The campaign funded yesterday morning, which means it’s a go.

There are new editions of the six Bride Quest books coming to retailers in November. Each book has a new cover illustration of the couple. The image is the cover of the new mass market paperback edition. It’s also the case laminate on the new hardcover edition, which has an image similar to the current trade paperback on the dust jacket. These books will be available for pre-order shortly – the new editions of The Princess is already available for pre-order and I’ve added the links to the landing page here on the site.

But you can order advance copies of the new books through this Kickstarter campaign, running through June 10. I’m also doing the cover reveals during the campaign.

Here is the new cover illustration of Burke and Alys for The Damsel:

I think this one is just so lovely and the pose is perfect for Burke and Alys. 🙂

Burke and Alys’ story is a second chance romance and a Cinderella story, one in which the secrets and lies of the past stand in the path of their happy future together.

Today, there are some new tiers. Check the update for a list.

I also added a stretch goal today – when we reach 30 backers (there are currently 18) at any reward level, I’ll add three colouring pages of the new illustrations as digital assets for all backers to download.

You can order copies of these new editions through Kickstarter until June 10, and receive your copies early, signed or personalized, and get some swag. Every backer at Kickstarter, for example, gets the ebook of the new bonus epilogue to the Bride Quest I, Christmas at Tullymullagh. I’ll be adding more assets over the campaign, too. There are Early Bird tiers with special pricing that are available for a limited time, and there will be a swag box, too.

Here’s the schedule for the campaign.

I’ll be revealing the cover illustration for The Heiress tomorrow.

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. 🙂

Las novias del amor verdadero in Print editions

The True Love Brides series of medieval romances in Spanish are now available in trade paperback!

I was a bit late getting these done. I love these covers and it’s fun to see them in Spanish. There’s still one that’s not popping up at Barnes & Noble, but I’ve asked Ingrams to have a look.


The Renegade's Heart, book one of the True Love Brides series of medieval Scottish romances by Claire Delacroix, Spanish edition

Ella arriesgaría todo para salvar el alma de él…

Liberado del cautiverio de las Hadas, Murdoch Seton no quiere nada más que olvidar sus años perdidos.  Emprender una búsqueda para recuperar el tesoro robado de su familia parece la solución perfecta, pero Murdoch no cuenta con una doncella curiosa que tiene tanto el secreto del robo como su única salvasión.

Isabella está indignada al encontrar la fortaleza de su hermano asediada por un caballero renegado, especialmente uno que es demasiado apuesto para su propio bien o el de ella.  Después de un solo encuentro, ella se convence de que la causa de él es justa y decide descubrir al verdadero ladrón, sin imaginar nunca que el único beso que habían compartido había lanzado una batalla por el alma de Murdoch.

Mientras las traicioneras Hadas se mueven para reclamar a Murdoch para siempre, Isabella busca curar al caballero que le ha robado el corazón.  Pero, ¿permitirá Murdoch que ella se arriesgue y se ponga en peligro?  ¿O él se sacrificará para asegurar el futuro de Isabella?

Privado de su herencia y agobiado por el legado de su sangre Hada, Garrett MacLachlan cree que está condenado a ser un paria para siempre, hasta que conoce a Annelise de Kinfairlie, una gentil doncella con el poder de convertir su maldición en un regalo.  ¿Garrett podrá reclamar su legado robado con Annelise a su lado?  Si Annelise desafía a su familia a perseguir el amor verdadero, ¿será eso suficiente para curar a Garrett?  E incluso si triunfan sobre enemigos mortales, ¿exigirán las Hadas un precio que ninguno de ellos pudiera pagar?

Ella lo hechizó con un beso, pero ganar su amor exigiría todo lo que él poseía…

Después de ocho años en el extranjero, Malcolm regresa a Escocia con una fortuna, un compañero aún más endurecido que él y con la determinación de restaurar su propiedad heredada.  Pero cuando ese compañero cae en peligro, Malcolm aprovecha la oportunidad para pagar una vieja deuda y cambia su propia alma por la de su compañero condenado.  Sabiendo que sus días son limitados y decidido a dejar un legado de mérito, Malcolm reconstruye Ravensmuir con toda prisa, aunque teme no tener nunca un heredero.

Una noche de violencia ha dejado a Catriona sin hogar y sin fe en el honor de los hombres.  Ella espera poco de una visita al hermano de su dama, el Señor de Ravensmuir, un mercenario conocido.  Pero el guapo señor desafía sus expectativas con su cortesía, su encanto y su inesperada propuesta.  Sabiendo que es su única oportunidad de asegurar el futuro de su hijo, Catriona se atreve a aceptar la mano de Malcolm.  Ella pronto se da cuenta de que ese guerrero libra su propia batalla y que ella tiene la llave de su salvación.  Poco se da cuenta de que su pasado la persigue, buscando destruir todo lo que ama, incluido al señor que ha descongelado la escarcha de su rebelde corazón.

La doncella era solo otro tesoro por ganar, hasta que ella le robó el corazón y cambió su vida para siempre…

Indignada de que el alma de su amado hermano fuera el diezmo de las hadas para el infierno, Elizabeth sabe que debe salvarlo.  Después de todo ella es la única en su familia que puede ver a las hadas, y ya está maldita por su propio rey.  Malcolm puede haberse ofrecido a reemplazar a su camarada por honor, pero Elizabeth sabe quién merece más vivir, y no es el apuesto pícaro, Rafael, quien se preocupa solo por su propio bienestar.  Debería ser fácil hacer una apuesta con un mercenario, especialmente porque a Elizabeth no le importa el costo para ella misma.  Sin embargo, para su sorpresa, Rafael demuestra ser el hombre que no solo acepta su desafío, sino que destierra la maldición del rey de las Hadas con besos que hacen que su sangre se encienda.  ¿Podría esta guerrero endurecido, que parece no tener corazón, ser el amor destinado que ella ha esperado?

A primera vista, Rafael cree que Elizabeth es un ángel enviado para juzgarlo, y sabe cuál será su veredicto.  Él ha tomado decisiones para sobrevivir y no está orgulloso de ellas.  Pero Elizabeth lo desafía a cambiar, con una audacia que despierta una nobleza de propósito que Rafael había olvidado que poseía.  ¿Podrá esta valiente doncella curar las heridas de su pasado?  ¿Puede Rafael ganarse el derecho de concederle la vida que ella se merece, y hacerlo antes de que el rey de las hadas desencadene su trampa, convirtiendo a Elizabeth en su cautiva para siempre?

A Baron for All Seasons, #3 of the Brides of North Barrows series of Regency romances by Claire Delacroix

Rupert Haskell has always thought that Anthea, his friend Alexander’s younger sister, would make an excellent choice of bride, but the loss of his inheritance made it impossible for him to court her. Caught between his honor and his heart, the only way he can show his esteem for Anthea is remove the stain from her name—even if that means having to watch her marry another man.

Anthea Armstrong left London in her debut season when she was falsely accused of theft. Now that the real villain has been apprehended, she’s returned to town to arrange her brother’s wedding. She hopes to once again encounter the mysterious suitor who stole her heart with a kiss at a masquerade ball…when she realizes the mysterious man is none other than Rupert Haskell, can she convince this proud man of honor to take a chance on love?
