I’ve shown you the new covers for the Rogues of Ravensmuir series, but now I (finally) made a video, too.

The new editions will be available in ebook, trade paperback and jacketed hardcover from retailers in February 2027. You can order copies early from me.

I’ve set up pre-orders in my online store for the ebooks of the new editions, which will ship automatically on July 1. You can see them here:

For the print editions, you have two choices. You can order any of the books individually and get your copy signed. If you order a set of three hardcovers at once, the store will offer free shipping for US and CA addresses, and I’ll order them in July.

Or you can order a complete set of all three to be drop-shipped to you if you live in Canada or the US. This saves you some money as well as getting the books to you early. I’ll also send you a signed bookplate for each book and a bookmark featuring the new covers. The shipping is free for US and CA addresses. I’ll leave the pre-order open until July 1, then I’ll order the books and this bundle will vanish.

This is my fake Kickstarter. 🙂 The idea is that as more people order, I’ll be able to add more goodies. I’d like to do postcards with the new illustrations, but we’ll need 15 backers for that to happen. Fingers crossed!

The Frost Maiden's Kiss, book three of the True Love Brides series of medieval Scottish romances by Claire Delacroix is on sale for just 99 cents
The Frost Maiden's Kiss, #3 of the True Love Brides series of medieval Scottish romances by Claire Delacroix

She enchanted him with a kiss—but winning her love would demand all he possessed.

After eight years abroad, Malcolm returns to Scotland with a fortune, a companion even more hardened than he and a determination to restore his inherited holding. But when that companion falls into peril, Malcolm seizes the chance to repay an old debt, trading his own soul for that of his doomed comrade. Knowing his days are limited and determined to leave a legacy of merit, Malcolm rebuilds Ravensmuir with all haste, though he fears he will never have an heir.

A night of violence has left Catriona with no home and no faith in the honor of men. She expects little good from a visit to her lady’s brother, Laird of Ravensmuir, a known mercenary. But the handsome laird challenges her expectations with his courtesy, his allure—and his unexpected proposal. Knowing it is her sole chance to ensure her child’s future, Catriona dares to accept Malcolm’s hand. She soon realizes that this warrior fights a battle of his own and that she holds the key to his salvation. Little does she realize her past is in hot pursuit, seeking to destroy all she holds dear—including the laird who has thawed the frost of her reluctant heart.

Update May 22

I’ve started to post weekly updates on my Cooke site, so I thought it would make sense to do them here as well. 🙂

Five star review for One Knight's Bride, book four of the Rogues & Angels series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

As you know, One Knight’s Bride is now out in the world. The print edition is available as well, both at the portals and in my online store. There are a lot of wonderful reviews for this book already which is exciting.

I’ve ordered the next two covers in the Rogues & Angels series from the designer – I’m not sure whether Luc or Thierry will end up being next, twins being as they are, so I want to have both covers ready to go. As with Amaury’s book, I’ll put up the pre-order when the book goes to editing so it’s pretty much ready to go.

We’re also repackaging the books set in the Ravensmuir world right now. The Rogues of Ravensmuir are done. These new editions are available in trade paperback or jacketed hardcover – there’s a new illustration of each couple by Dar Albert, which goes on the case laminate of the hard cover or on the inside of the duplexed trade paperback cover. As always, Dar is doing a gorgeous job – you can see the illustrations for the first three books in this blog post.

new Ravensmuir editions coming summer 2026

I was going to take this launch to Kickstarter, but instead it will be in my online store first, then at retailers. You can order the new print editions of the Rogues of Ravensmuir in my online store right here for delivery in July or look for them at retail portals next February. The ebooks will get the new covers at retailers in February, as well, or you can order them for earlier delivery in my online store.

This week, we started working on the illustrations for the Jewels of Kinfairlie series. Here’s the first pass of the outside covers, though they may change slightly before we’re done:

Ah, there already have been changes! The pendant shown here on The Snow White Bride has moved to the cover for The Beauty Bride, because Madeline has that necklace, the Virgin’s Tear, which has a clear stone. There are always tweaks and changes before we finish up. As with the Rogues of Ravensmuir, I’ll make the new editions available early in my online store – The Ballad of Rosamunde will be included in the print edition of The Snow White Bride, so its cover here is just for the ebook.

I’ve also signed a new deal this week for The Christmas Conquest to be translated into German, with the plan of continuing through the rest of the series with the same translator. I’ll be pleased to see that series available in German as I think it will do well in that market.

That’s this week’s news!

New Editions of the Rogues of Ravensmuir Series

I’m updating the covers for all of the Ravensmuir books, and am starting with the Rogues of Ravensmuir. The new editions will be available in ebook, trade paperback and jacketed hardcover from retailers in February 2027. You can order copies early from me. I was planning to launch these at Kickstarter, but will offer them through my online store instead.

Let’s have a look:

The Rogue, book one of the Rogues of Ravensmuir series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix
The Scoundrel, book two of the Rogues of Ravensmuir series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix
The Warrior, book three of the Rogues of Ravensmuir series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

These books are really pretty! As with the new editions of Blood Brothers, the Bride Quest and the Champions of St. Euphemia, we have new illustrations of the couples for each title. The illustration is on the case laminate of the hardcover, and it’s duplexed (printed on the inside) of the cover for the trade paperback.

Here’s the illustration for The Rogue:

Each print book has a chapter background which coordinates with the cover. Here’s a screenshot of the one for The Rogue:

And here’s The Scoundrel, first the new illustration, then the chapter background.

And finally for The Warrior:

These are really pretty books! I’ve ordered samples to show you, and will make a video when they arrive.

I’ve set up pre-orders in my online store for the ebooks of the new editions, which will ship automatically on July 1. You can see them here:

For the print editions, you have two choices. You can order any of the books individually and get your copy signed. If you order a set of three hardcovers at once, the store will offer free shipping for US and CA addresses, and I’ll order them in July.

New Covers for Ravensmuir Series

I’ve started the process of updating the covers for the four series set in my Ravensmuir world. I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and Dar Albert – as usual – is doing a brilliant job of bringing vague ideas to life. Here’s a peek at the new Rogues of Ravensmuir covers, although they may still be tweaked.

The Scoundrel, book two of the Rogues of Ravensmuir series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix
The Warrior, book three of the Rogues of Ravensmuir series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

All fourteen books set in the world of Ravensmuir are getting new covers, and new illustrations of the couples. Dar Albert is the designer. They will all be available in ebook, trade paperback (with duplexed cover) and jacketed hardcover. I’ll give you some sneak peeks as we finalize the new covers.

As has become routine, I’ll launch these at Kickstarter first, probably in August, in ebook, trade paperback and hard cover (with dust jacket). The new editions will be available at retailers in 2027.

The current print editions are being phased out at retailers. You can still order them from me at my online bookstore, Hazel & Honeysuckle Press, if you have any gaps in your collection.

Here’s the landing page for the Kickstarter campaign, so you can follow it to be notified at launch.
