Just over two years ago, I decided that my time travels needed new covers. We did the new cover for The Last Highlander, then life happened and the rest of the project was put aside.
This fall, I returned to those details, got in touch with my designer, Elizabeth Mackey, and we finished the project. I’m really excited about these covers and that I can finally show them to you.
The new print editions will be on pre-order for October and the new ebooks will be published in October, too.
Here are the four covers together:
I’ll be running a Kickstarter in January to launch these new editions. You can get your copies early, with a signed bookplate and tipsheet, and with other rewards, too. The Moonstone, Once Upon a Kiss and Love Potion #9 have new interiors, as well. The Kickstarter is for trade paperbacks and ebooks.
In the past year or so, I’ve noticed that romantic comedies tend to have cartoon covers. I’d been thinking of updating the look of my time travel romances, so this time, we went with cartoon covers. The first one to be completed is The Last Highlander. I think this cover is so cute!
The new edition, with this cover, is processing at the portals in both ebook and print. If you already own the ebook, this may be presented to you as a new edition to download. I’m not sure what Amazon will do as they don’t like to push out updates. If you want a print edition and prefer the 2017 cover, you can buy one directly from me.
Scotland, 1314—After the Scots reclaim Edinburgh Castle, Alasdair MacAuley only wants to celebrate. But the revels are interrupted by an old crone who claims the castle’s true owner is the legendary witch Morgaine le Fee. Dared by his fellow warriors to go meet the witch, Alasdair heads down a flight of stairs—and tumbles right into another century…
Scotland, 1998—American Morgan Lafayette is in Scotland to enjoy the history, not to ogle men in kilts. So when she stumbles upon a brawny man in a kilt, she is less than enthralled. She is certain he’s drunk for he claims Morgan is a powerful sorceress who has brought him to her magical kingdom! Despite her reluctance, she is intensely drawn to this handsome Highlander and the mystery surrounding him, a mystery that has the power to alter history—and her heart—forever…
“Long after the last word, you will bask in the afterglow of this fascinating story.”

“The Last Highlander is a tremendous time travel tale that stars two wondrous lead protagonists. The brisk story line will grab onto readers from page one and not let go until the story is complete.”
—Affaire de Coeur
“With an ending guaranteed to bring a tear and a smile to your face—The Last Highlander is a quick-paced, thoroughly entertaining read. A winner!”
At times humorous, at times heartwrenching, this unique time travel deftly combines historical facts with a shimmering romance that defies time and place…The resolution is simply wonderful, and I’m not going to give it away. You will just have to read it yourself to savor the feast Ms. [Delacroix] provides.
Because everything is enrolled now, I could add the Boxed Sets.
As mentioned previously, Blood Brothers will not be enrolled in KU before the series is completed (and maybe not then.)
The Brides of North Barrows will not be enrolled in KU either, because those stories are included in anthologies that are in wide distribution.
The only outlier at this point is Beguiled, my collection of short stories. Because The Ballad of Rosamunde is enrolled in Kindle Unlimited, Beguiled can’t be available at other retailers—but because the other stories are in wide distribution, Beguiled can’t be enrolled in KU. So, the ebook of Beguiled is available only at Amazon.
My time travel romances have finished their stint in Kindle Unlimited and are available at all retailers again. These books were originally published under my pseudonym Claire Cross but are now Claire Delacroix books.
I’m participating in a multi-author BookFunnel promotion featuring fantasy and paranormal romances in Kindle Unlimited. You’ll find The Last Highlanderon the landing page, and a lot of other romances, too. Load up your Kindle with fantasy and paranormal romance reads!
