New Store Coming in 2024

In 2024, I’ll be launching my own online store. You might recall that I had a Selz store many years ago and closed it down. I’m excited that I’ll have a store again to market my books.

You’ll be able to buy signed paperbacks in the store, as well as ebooks. I plan to have some exclusive content in the store, too, and more.

As part of this transition, I’ll be removing my series boxed sets from sale at Amazon by the end of the year. They just don’t sell well there, possibly because they’re not displayed on the series pages. (At GooglePlay, where the bundles are displayed with the individual books, they sell quite well.) Beginning in the new year, you’ll be able to get a bundle for your Kindle by buying it in my online store.

I’ll also be able to offer discounts in the store. These will be included in my monthly newsletter, so if you haven’t subscribed to Knights & Rogues yet, you might want to do that now. (If you subscribe but don’t open your newsletters, you might want to change that, too!)

I’m really excited about the new store and can’t wait to show it to you.

The Christmas Conquest, a Regency romance novella by Claire Delacroix

Love was not part of the plan when this marriage was arranged…

Rhys Bettencourt, Baron Trevelaine, had every intention of avoiding his family’s curse. An arranged marriage to a plain bluestocking of fortune should have ensured the provision of at least one heir. After all, it was beloved Bettencourt wives who always died in childbirth. But practical Catherine undermined her husband’s scheme by stealing his heart. The only way for Rhys to protect her is to deny them both physical satisfaction, against his own desires.


Catherine Carruthers was content to wed for practical considerations and accept an arranged marriage to please her family. Two years later, though, Catherine is certain that her dashing aristocrat of a husband regrets his choice and that her marriage will never be more. She accepts an invitation to Rockmorton Manor for Christmas to decide whether to leave Rhys and return to her father’s house. Upon arrival, though, Catherine discovers pages of sensual advice left in her room—as well as Rhys determined to convince her to stay. Can their marriage be saved?


Armed with information and with little to lose, Catherine embarks upon a campaign of seduction that Rhys is powerless to resist—even as he fears for Catherine’s fate if he surrenders to temptation. Caught between love and the wretched curse, can Rhys find a way to keep his cherished wife safely by his side?

The ebook now includes the bonus epilogue, Upon a Midnight Clear.
