A Aposta da Viúva is the Portuguese edition of The Widow's Wager, book three of the Regency romance series The Ladies' Essential Guide to the Art of Seduction by Claire Delacroix

Desde que se lembra, o coração de Eliza North pertence a Nicholas Emerson, um amigo de seu irmão mais velho. Contudo, Nicholas sempre foi indiferente à Eliza, e quando ele comprou uma comissão e partiu para a guerra, ela escolheu um casamento sensato. Viúva e de volta à casa do irmão, ela reencontra o Capitão Emerson e percebe que seus sentimentos não mudaram. Ela aceita o pedido dele para ser a dama de companhia da irmã mais nova dele, Helena, esperando que assim conquiste a atenção dele, com a ajuda da misteriosa Sra. Oliver e seu guia para a sedução.

Nicholas Emerson jamais poderia aspirar se casar com a filha de um duque, em especial uma tão pragmática como Eliza sempre foi. O fato de ela ter se casado por algo tão caprichoso como o amor faz com que ele se pergunte o quão bem ele conhecia Eliza. Ela ainda é a única mulher que chama sua atenção, mas ele sabe que os ferimentos de guerra impossibilitam um casamento. Ainda assim, ele não resiste à chance de pedir a ajuda de Eliza para a segunda Temporada de Helena, e a chance de ter a companhia dela.

Nenhum dos dois antecipa o comportamento selvagem de Helena ou a aliança necessária para defender a reputação da moça. Confiante nos conselhos do manuscrito da Sra. Oliver, acerca das artes da sedução, Eliza coloca os conselhos em uso, para espanto de Nicholas. Como ele pode recusar a mulher que ama, mesmo sabendo que nunca poderá garantir a felicidade dela? Preso entre a honra e o amor, Nicholas precisa aceitar seu legado de guerra e, assim, tentar construir um futuro. Seria Eliza a mulher capaz de curar suas feridas?

Deborah Cooke's books

I’ve launched my online store this week! Right now, you’ll find ebooks for both Deborah Cooke and Claire Delacroix at Deborah Cooke’s Books, including all of my series digital bundles. For the moment, the store is configured for five territories: US, UK, CA, AU and NZ. Any ebooks you buy in the store will be delivered by BookFunnel – as soon as your purchase is complete, they’ll send you an email with a link to your book. If you have any troubles, their support people are awesome at getting ebooks onto stubborn devices.

I’ll be adding signed print books and more, plus configuring more of the store and customizing the theme a bit more. But there’s enough done to launch.

If you don’t subscribe to my monthly newsletters, you might want to do that. I’ll be including a discount coupon for the store in each newsletter each month, starting tomorrow with Heroes & Happy Endings.

Now I’m off to build new buy links here on the site, and over at Delacroix.net.

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.
