Il cacciatore e l’ereditiera is the Italian edition of The Hunter & the Heiress, book two of the Blood Brothers series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

Niente di più lontano dalle aspettative di Amaury de Vries che unirsi alla compagnia di mercenari del fratellastro nelle terre selvagge della Scozia. Cavaliere e campione di giostre e tornei, si aspetta di ereditare un castello, finché l’uomo che ha sempre conosciuto come suo padre non rivela una terribile verità e lo rinnega. Rimasto senza nulla, Amaury cavalca verso Kilderrick, dove perde il cuore per una bella nobildonna nella foresta. Da uomo pragmatico, sa di non avere il diritto di corteggiare la dama, ma quando lei viene rapita Amaury la segue, deciso a compiere il suo dovere di cavaliere e aiutare una damigella in pericolo.

Elizabeth d’Acron è stata una pedina e un premio, ambita per il ricco patrimonio del padre, ma vuole essere desiderata solo per quello che è. Di nuovo rapita, giura che non si arrenderà a nessun uomo, nemmeno al bel cavaliere che la soccorre. In effetti, non c’è nessuno di più fastidioso di quell’uomo sicuro di sé ma imperscrutabile, così ligio al dovere da poter essere fatto di pietra, ma Elizabeth impara presto a fidarsi di Amaury, che la difenderà ad ogni costo. Non si aspettava di essere sedotta dal suo tocco e tanto meno che lui conquistasse il suo cuore diffidente, ma si è forse innamorata di un uomo il cui affetto appartiene già a un’altra?

Intrappolato tra dovere e passione, Amaury si ritrova ammaliato dalla donna che sfida ogni sua aspettativa, ma sa di avere poco da offrirle. E quando Elizabeth viene minacciata da un ex pretendente che non accetta un rifiuto, Amaury rischia tutto per difenderla, sperando che sia sufficiente. Ma riuscirà a intervenire in tempo? E basterà l’amore per convincere Elizabeth a mettere la sua mano nella sua per sempre?

The Stolen Bride, book three of the Brides of Inverfyre series of medieval Scottish romances by Claire Delacroix

Ramsay MacLaren owes a debt to the daughter of the Hawk of Inverfyre, one he will never forget‚ for the beguiling beauty helped him escape her father’s dungeon, saving his life and capturing his heart. When he hears that she is to wed a man he knows to be a knave, Ramsay must warn her, though he believes he can never claim Evangeline for his own.


Rebellion in her heart, Evangeline Armstrong hopes for the best from her arranged match with a stranger, dreaming all the while of a single encounter with Ramsay MacLaren, a handsome outlaw, her father’s sworn enemy, and a man whose very name makes her heart leap. Brigands attack her party en route to the wedding, and Ramsay himself corners her, insisting she must not make the match, then steals a kiss that will haunt her dreams.

Evangeline soon learns the truth of Ramsay’s claim when she is the sole witness of her betrothed’s heinous crime. Without allies in his abode, she flees his attack upon her with Ramsay’s aid—who insists they wed for her own protection. Their night together only awakens a desire for a thousand more—and makes Evangeline yearn for a forbidden union that she fears can never be. Can she trust a warrior whose kiss stirs her very soul, choosing him over her own family? Even if Ramsay can defeat his lady’s betrothed and defend her honor, can he win the heart of the lady who holds him in thrall?

One Knight’s Desire – Today!

One Knight’s Desire, book three of the Rogues & Angels series of medieval romances, is available today!

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

When the grim Lord de Tulley bequests his legacy to his niece and decides to arrange her marriage, the maiden in question knows that no man of sense will decline such a rich prize of a bride. Her jest, undertaken to ensure her survival and ease an old man’s loneliness, has become deadly serious. To Heloise’s dismay, Tulley chooses Lothair the Viking as his successor. Lothair is unlike the other knights in his company—just as powerful and decisive as his fellows, quiet Lothair is also perceptive. His very presence makes Heloise’s heart flutter and not just because she fears he will uncover her deepest secret. A man of honor like Lothair can only reveal the truth to Tulley and Heloise dreads the result. Can she charm her taciturn betrothed for the greater good?

A warrior and a healer, Lothair is accustomed to being caught between objectives. Still, experience has not prepared him for the temptation of Lady Heloise, the beautiful niece of his overlord. The maiden’s very presence steals his wits and renders him mute, while her barest glance fills his heart with wild yearning.

When Lothair discovers that Heloise is not the maiden she pretends to be, he is once again snared—between honor and duty, his dawning love for his new wife, and the lady’s determination to keep her secret. Can he dare to trust the woman who has stolen his heart, or is he just a willing pawn to his lady? Can Heloise trust the knight who swears to defend her forever instead of fleeing—or will her past demand its due from both of them first?
