Today is a big multi-author 99cent book bundle sale at Romance Book Lovers. All of the discounted books in this promotion include multiple stories – there are over 250 bundles included and they’re all 99cents for one day only.
You’ll find the Brides of North Barrows series bundle among the sale titles.
Since 2016, I’ve been publishing a reader guide as a free download. This little volume is thick with links. There are links to product pages as well as links to other content on my site that you might have missed—an out-take scene, family trees to download, audio samples, and swag. There are also suggestions for reading order, beyond the series order.
I change the cover each year when it’s updated so you know which version you have. The newest one for 2026 is purple, as at left.
Retailers all have different procedures for making updated content available to customers. At KOBO, GooglePlay and Apple, the updates are pushed out automatically. At Nook, I understand you need to archive the book, wait a couple of days, then download it again. Amazon never seems to push out updates when I need them to.
As a result, this year’s guide is a new product at Amazon. You’ll have to download it again, even if you had it before. If it isn’t free at Amazon in your geo, you can get the Amazon version in my online store. You’ll have the guide with Amazon book links.
I have changed my distribution to Apple, so the book will be a new product there, but the one in the store won’t have Apple book links. The links will point to my website instead. If you would like a version with Apple book links, it’s available free in my online store.
Of course, the generic version, with book links to my websites, is also available in my online store.
For the month of August, A Duke by Any Other Name, book three of the Brides of North Barrows series of Regency romances, is discounted to just 99 pennies.
Daphne Goodenham has always been determined to wed a duke—not just because she loves fine dresses and parties, but because she wants to guarantee that she and her sister are never destitute again. When she meets the Duke of Inverfyre, a notorious fop, she immediately notices intriguing inconsistencies. Is there more to the duke than meets the eye? Why would he hide the truth if he were handsome, young, rich and a duke?
Alexander, the Duke of Inverfyre, is bent on catching a notorious thief who injured his sister, no matter what the cost. But confronted by the lovely Miss Goodenham, Alexander’s disguise proves to be no defense against her curiosity—and he has no resistance to her kiss. Will Daphne inadvertently foil Alexander’s plan? Will he have to sacrifice her interest to avenge his sister? Or can Daphne ensure Alexander’s triumph and make her own Christmas wish come true?
Today’s the day for the Romance Book Blast, a multi-author promotion featuring lots of free reads. This is a great chance to find a new author or a new series to love.
There are over 950 titles included this time, so you should find lots of new reads. You’ll find Just One Fake Date on the first page for Steamy Contemporary Romance and The Beauty Bride in Historical Romance.
I told you about these new editions last month in this blog post, but now my proof copies have arrived. They’re so pretty that I had to show them to you!
These are the three hardcovers.
And here are the three trade paperbacks, on top.
The hardcovers have the new illustrations of the couples on the case laminate.
The trade paperbacks have those illustrations duplexed – that is, they’re printed on the inside of the cover.
These new editions are available in my online store for pre-order now – here’s the bundle of hardcovers, which ships in August.
They’ll also be coming to retailers in February 2027. Remember that the print edition of The Snow White Bride includes The Ballad of Rosamunde. You can pre-order them following the links below:
