Ladro di cuore is the Italian edition of The Scoundrel, book two of the Rogues of Ravensmuir series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

Caro lettore,
sono consapevole di aver agito in modo sfrontato, sfacciato e imperdonabile…e ammetto di non poter incolpare altri che me stessa. Sapevo con che tipo d’uomo avevo a che fare, sapevo che Gawain Lemmergeier era una canaglia e un malfattore. Eppure, quando ho tramato per sedurlo e reclamare ciò che era mio di diritto, non avrei mai immaginato che avrei ceduto al fascino di questo spericolato mascalzone dai capelli dorati.

Sia chiaro, ho recuperato ciò per cui sono venuta, ovvero la sacra reliquia rubata a mio padre in grado di ristabilire le sorti del mio maniero, e mi sarei anche accontentata di tornare a casa con la mia ricompensa. Ma, ahimè, ho lasciato che il desiderio prendesse il controllo delle mie azioni. Perchè sì…mentre cercavo il mio tesoro, ho osato indurre in tentazione Gawain, gli ho permesso di battermi, di stregarmi e persino di portarmi a letto.

Lady Evangeline di Inverfyre


“Affascinante e avvincente!”

Early Reviews for The Bluestocking’s Bargain

There’s nothing more satisfying than good reviews for a new book! Here are the first few for Arthur and Patience’s story. I also created a trope graphic for this story.

The Bluestocking's Bargain, book five in The Ladies' Essential Guide to the Art of Seduction Regency romance series by Claire Delacroix

Patience Carruthers is a bluestocking with no interest in the fleeting uncertainty of love. Her passion is for books, knowledge, and the improvement of the world. When she learns of Mrs. Oliver’s work, instructing ladies in intimate matters to better their marriages, she is resolved to see that volume published for the public good—and will even accept an agreement to wed a notorious rake to accomplish her goal.

Thanks to his uncle’s reckless wager, Arthur Beckham has immediate need of a wife. Insisting he has an understanding with Miss Carruthers, a lady of good sense and practicality, may provide an escape from his predicament—assuming the lady in question can be persuaded to agree. He proposes a marriage of convenience to Miss Carruthers, vowing he will do whatever she desires in exchange for one son—even ensure the publication of such an uncommon volume.

Arthur is intrigued by this lady and her ability to surprise him. Her commitment to honesty tempts him to abandon the disguise that has defined his life for decades—though Arthur fears that admitting his deception might turn Patience against him forever. Can the book help him to capture the heart of his pragmatic bride before his secret is revealed?
