Multi-Author Kobo Plus Promotion Today!

Posted on October 17, 2025 by Deborah Cooke

Today’s the day for the YOLO with KOBO Plus romance binge multi-author promotion!

KOBO Plus is a subscription program, much like Kindle Unlimited – you pay a flat monthly fee when you subscribe and can read as much as you want. The big difference on my end is that books don’t have to be exclusive to KOBO to be enrolled in the program, which makes it win-win.

This promotion features a lot (over 450) romances (both ebooks and audiobooks) that are enrolled in KOBO Plus right now. Although the promotion is inspired by the BookWorms promo, in this case, the books are enrolled in KOBO Plus for more than one day. That said, it’s a great way for you to discover new authors, new series and new reads, and KOBO has their own landing page in support of that.

For this promotion, the organizer has a landing page (KOBOPlusRomanceBinge.com) and KOBO builds a landing page on their own site to support the sale. This is usually interesting as they support different categories – the KOBO site also includes the book covers, while the organizer site has a short blurb and keywords – I say ‘usually’ because this time, there’s a glitch. My books (and many others) aren’t on the promotion website due to that glitch; they’re just on the KOBO landing pages.

You’ll find the audiobook of The Beauty Bride on the KOBO website in Historical Romance and on the YOLO site in Spicy Historical Romance. You’ll also find the ebook of All’s Fair in Love & War on the KOBO website in Historical Romance and on the YOLO site in Spicy Historical Romance.

You’ll find the Just Trouble on the KOBO website in Contemporary Romance and on the YOLO site in Steamy Contemporary Romance. You’ll find the audiobook for Wyvern’s Mate on the KOBO website in the Sci-Fi & Paranormal Romance category, and on the YOLO site in the Shifter Romance category.

Five Storylines

Posted on July 17, 2025 by Deborah Cooke

The Champions of St. Euphemia series features five medieval romances, as well as an over-arching quest to deliver a secret Templar treasure to Paris.

The Crusader's Bride tropes, shown with 2025 special hardcover edition

The Crusader’s Bride, the first book in the series. features a marriage of convenience between a former Templar knight (now in need of a son and heir) and a widowed pilgrim down on her luck. Gaston and Ysmaine know very little about each other when they join their lives together, but quickly learn to admire the other and fall in love.

The Crusader's Heart tropes, shown with 2025 special hardcover edition

Book two, The Crusader’s Heart, is a fling to forever romance of reluctant allies – who prove to be perfectly suited for each other. Christina is a reluctant courtesan, seeking some way to return home to her former life. Wulfe is a Templar knight with no interest in bonds beyond his obligation to the order itself. But when they’re attacked in the night, Christina realizes she’s found the protector she needs – all she has to do is convince Wulfe that he should take her along when his party leaves Venice behind.

The Crusader's Kiss tropes, shown with 2025 special hardcover edition

Book three, The Crusader’s Kiss, features another pair of reluctant allies who pretend to be married to gain their objectives – but find so much more as they unravel each other’s secrets. Bartholomew and Anna’s story is a tale of disguises and a hidden heir, of family lost and found, along with a lot of action, adventure and fun.

The Crusader's Vow tropes, shown with 2025 special hardcover edition

Book four, The Crusader’s Vow, features another marriage of convenience, this time between friends of different backgrounds. When Fergus reaches home to learn that his betrothed has married another, he decides the best choice is to protect his friend Leila from unwanted suitors. Their match soon becomes more than a friendship, though each are convinced the other’s heart is unavailable. I love how they both learned to take a chance and share their feelings, thus earning their HEA.

The Crusader's Handfast tropes, shown with 2025 special hardcover edition

Book five, The Crusader’s Handfast, does more than tie up all the loose ends of the adventure. It’s a May-December romance between two characters who step up and solve issues as they arise – and who captivate each other. Radegunde sees the kind of principled warrior she admires most in Duncan, while Duncan is persuaded to take a chance on love again with the cheerful and persistent maid (who won’t take no for an answer). I love these two together!

Get your copies of the new special editions of all five of these medieval romances, along with the Reader Companion, the family trees, the map and more, in my Kickstarter campaign – running through July 31.

The Christmas Conquest is Free!

Posted on July 11, 2025 by Deborah Cooke

The Christmas Conquest, book one of the Ladies’ Essential Guide to the Art of Seduction series of Regency romances, is free through the end of this year.

Although I added the epilogue, Upon a Midnight Clear, into the book file a year and a half ago, it appears that Amazon is still delivering the original file. (People are still downloading the epilogue.) So, if you’d like both book and epilogue in one file, get the copy for your Kindle from my online store.

The Christmas Conquest, book one of Claire Delacroix's Regency romance series the Ladies' Essential Guide to the Art of Seduction, is a free read for a limited time

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?
