The Champions of St. Euphemia Boxed Set including all five medieval romances in the series by Claire Delacroix

The Champions of St. Euphemia Boxed Set includes all five medieval romances in this thrilling series by Claire Delacroix. You’ll join the quest to deliver the treasure from Jerusalem to Paris in The Crusader’s Bride. Gaston makes a marriage of convenience with Ysmaine, knowing he needs a son, but soon realizes how little he knows about his new wife. Does he dare to trust her? Can Ysmaine win the heart of her new husband?

Follow Wulfe in The Crusader’s Heart, after he encounters the courtesan Christina who refuses to be left behind in Venice. Maybe this alluring woman is exactly what the orphaned knight needs to reawaken his heart and convince him to solve the riddles of his past—can he build a future with Christina?

Ride north to England with Bartholomew in The Crusader’s Kiss, in his own quest to reclaim his stolen legacy and avenge his parents: little does he expect to find a woman leading a band of thieves in the forest, much less to pretend she is his wife to undermine the villain.

Continue to Scotland with Fergus in The Crusader’s Vow as he returns home after his military service only to find his betrothed has wed another man. A marriage of convenience with his friend and the disguised Saracen Leila seems a fitting compromise, but Leila will not be satisfied until she and Fergus are more than friends and even lovers: she wants to claim his heart for her own.

The treasure finds its final sanctuary in Radegunde and Duncan’s tale, The Crusader’s Handfast, a May-December romance between Ysmaine’s maid and Fergus’ man-at-arms, a warrior who believes love has left him behind. Radegunde holds the secrets of her lady, but also proves to have the power to steal Duncan’s heart.

The Champions of St. Euphemia Boxed Set includes the complete series of five medieval romances in Claire Delacroix’s sweeping historical series.

New Bride Quest Swag

Posted on June 27, 2023 by Deborah Cooke

I had some new goodies printed for the Bride Quest Kickstarter campaign and wanted to show you. Right now, they’re only available to the backers of the campaign – you can expect this in future, that advance or exclusive swag will be available at Kickstarter. I have these printed in small quantities, so there aren’t many leftovers.

First, there’s a new bookmark showing the 25th anniversary commemorative mass market editions of all six Bride Quest books. This is a really fat bookmark, almost a postcard.

I’ll order more of these in the fall and add them to the swag you can request from me, as part of the launch of the new editions in November.

Next, I did postcards of the six cover illustrations. Backers get a set of all six. The new logo is on the back of each one. When these are gone, they’re gone.

Then I ran some stickers because they’re just so cute. These are tiny, and again, backers get a set of six, one of each cover illustration. When these are gone, they’re gone.

There also is a set of six colouring pages to download, print and colour. I’ll make those available for download here in November as part of the launch of the new editions.

There are a few sets of postcards and stickers left, but I haven’t decided whether to save them for my next Kickstarter campaign and sell them as add-ons or sell them in sets in November from here. If you have strong thoughts either way, please comment on the post.

Aren’t they pretty, though?

The Runaway Bride in Italian

Posted on June 14, 2023 by Deborah Cooke

My medieval romance, The Runaway Bride, is now available in an Italian edition!

La sposa in fuga is the Italian edition of The Runaway Bride, book two of the Brides of Inverfyre series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

Aoife MacNeill è una bellezza, un trofeo da conquistare. Ora che non è più un’ereditiera, vorrebbe sposarsi per amore, ma suo padre ha organizzato il suo matrimonio con Nigel Armstrong, figlio maggiore ed erede del Falco di Inverfyre. Le basta uno sguardo per capire che Nigel non conquisterà mai il suo cuore, ma suo cugino, Ross di Kinfairlie, è tutta un’altra storia.

Aoife sa che non può sfuggire al suo destino, eppure desidera ardentemente tentare la sua ultima carta: fuggire da Inverfyre e sperare che Ross venga mandato al suo inseguimento. Sarà sufficiente un bacio…

Ross di Kinfairlie è un mercenario che mette la sua spada al servizio dei signori, un cavaliere privo dei beni necessari per poter reclamare una sposa. Quando la fidanzata del cugino scappa, corre al suo inseguimento perchè sa di dovere qualcosa al Falco che lo ha addestrato. Ross sospetta che Aoife non sia consapevole dei rischi che corre e infatti l’infido clan dei MacLaren, che cerca da sempre di danneggiare Inverfyre, la fa prigioniera.

Durante il salvataggio, Ross si ritrova affascinato dalla bella e selvaggia fanciulla. Quanto sarà disposto a cedere Ross per garantire la sicurezza di Aoife?

E quanto rischierà Aoife per proteggere l’uomo che ha catturato il suo cuore?

The Masquerade of the Marchioness in Spanish

Posted on June 13, 2023 by Deborah Cooke

My Regency romance The Masquerade of the Marchioness is now available in a Spanish edition!

La marquesa enmascarada is the Spanish edition of The Masquerade of the Marchioness, book two of the Ladies' Essential Guide to the Art of Seduction series of Regency romances by Claire Delacroix

No es la mujer con la que él se casó…

Philomena Wright, marquesa de Arlingview, es universalmente admirada por su intelecto, buen sentido y sus esfuerzos caritativos a favor de las viudas y los huérfanos. Una mujer con todas esas virtudes también guarda un oscuro secreto: es, en realidad, la hermana gemela de Philomea, Penelope. Temiendo la soltería, asiste a un baile de máscaras con la esperanza de encontrar un pretendiente antes de admitir la verdad… sólo para encontrarse con un caballero que la conmueve como ningún otro…

Garrett Wright echa de menos tener un propósito, y el peligro, de su trabajo como espía durante la guerra y está aburrido de su disfraz de imprudente libertino. Cuando acepta ayudar a descubrir al ladrón de joyas que se está aprovechando de la sociedad londinense, se ve seducido por una belleza que despierta algo dentro de él, y se muestra decidido a desvelar la verdad, cueste lo que cueste.

Cuando encuentra unas gemas robadas en su poder, Garrett teme que su dama tenga un secreto más peligroso que su propia identidad. Obligado a elegir entre el honor y el inesperado amor, ¿cómo cumplirá con su deber y se asegurará, a la vez, de un futuro feliz con la mujer que ha capturado su corazón?
