The Twelve Days of Christmas

Posted on October 9, 2018 by Deborah Cooke

Twelve Days of Christmas Historical Romance Feature 2018 Are you getting into the holiday spirit yet? The Christmas decorations have been in the stores since August here (!!) but it takes that cold snap in the air to start me feeling festive. Let’s get into the holiday mood with historical romances, each filled with the joy of the holiday season. There will be one post per day here for the next twelve days, each one featuring a different book – plus a few bonus posts. I hope you find some new favorites!

The Snow White Bride, #3 of the Jewels of Kinfairlie series of medieval Scottish romances by Claire Delacroix

The Snow White Bride
The Jewels of Kinfairlie #3
Claire Delacroix

The Laird of Kinfairlie has helped his sisters, each a gem in her own right, to find husbands. Now the laird himself seeks to wed, and pins his hopes on The Snow White Bride.

Lady Eleanor knows better than to dream of romance and love. Married twice to secure her father’s alliances, she has learned that she is desirable only for her fortune. When the Laird of Kinfairlie’s sisters ask her to wed their brother, Alexander, Eleanor agrees, expecting only to save herself from danger.

But Alexander is like no man she’s known before, a man more interested in courting her smile than her obedience, a man who values her counsel as much as her newly awakened passion…and a man unaware that Eleanor is the key to a fortune that could ensure the future of everything he holds dear.

Now, ruthless enemies will stop at nothing to secure Eleanor’s capture. Will she dare to trust her new husband before it’s too late for her, for Alexander, and for Kinfairlie?

“Delacroix provides an excellent end to a terrifically captivating series.”—Booklist

“The Snow White Bride is a gripping story with an emotionally wounded yet wonderfully strong heroine. What a passionate, romantic read!”—Vanessa Kelly, one of Booklist’s new stars of historical romance

Guided Tour of Ravensmuir

Posted on September 18, 2018 by Deborah Cooke

I’m setting up a guided tour of the books set in the fictional medieval realm of Ravensmuir, Kinfairlie and Inverfyre. Each week you’ll receive an email featuring the next book in the series. You’ll get a peek behind the scenes at its creation and I’ll talk a bit about the historical details included in the book, and the characters. There will be links for the free downloads associated with the book, as well as discounts for you to buy books in my online store.

The tour will launch at the end of September, but you can sign up today, right here. Let’s take an armchair tour of my version of medieval Scotland together!

The Runaway Bride Pub Date

Posted on September 12, 2018 by Deborah Cooke

I’ve changed the publication date for The Runaway Bride because I’m running behind this fall. You can blame those dragons for distracting me – the new editions of the Dragonfire Novels were a lot more time-consuming than I’d anticipated. I want to ensure I have all the details right in this book, and let my editor have enough time to do her magic, too. So, I’ve moved the pub date for Aoife and Ross’s story to November 27.

Coming in November!
Aoife MacArthur is a beauty and a prize, an heiress who wants to marry for love—but her father has arranged her marriage to Nigel Armstrong, the oldest son and heir of the Hawk of Inverfyre. One look confirms that Nigel will never possess her heart—although his cousin, Ross of Kinfairlie, is another matter. Aoife knows she cannot escape her fate, but yearns for one last adventure: she will flee Inverfyre and hope that Ross will be sent in pursuit. She tells herself that one kiss will be sufficient…

Ross Lammergeier is a mercenary with a blade for hire, for he has not the coin to claim a bride. When his cousin’s betrothed flees, he lends chase, for the Hawk of Inverfyre trained him. Ross suspects that Nigel’s betrothed plays a game, but Aoife’s ploy is dangerous—for the treacherous MacLaren clan, always seeking to undermine Inverfyre, take her captive. In the course of rescuing Aoife and ensuring her safety, Ross finds himself captivated by the fierce and beautiful maiden. When they both surrender to temptation, their futures are changed—not least by the surprise attack of the MacLaren clan. How much will Ross surrender to guarantee Aoife’s safety? And how much will Aoife give to protect the man who has captured her heart?

Coming November 27!
