Now that the Blood Brothers series is complete in Italian, I’ve discounted The Wolf & the Witch‘s Italian edition (Il lupo e la strega) to 99¢ US. Unfortunately, I can’t set pretty prices for all geos. 😦
The links are still populating for the Italian edition of The Scot & the Sorceress, which is called Lo scozzese e la maga. I’ll update them on the landing page as they appear, then share them in a separate post once they’re all live.
Dopo che gli è stata negata la legittima eredità, Maximilian de Vries escogita un piano per vendicarsi del padre e assicurarsi un futuro. Alleatosi con i suoi due fratellastri si reca all’antica e misteriosa Kilderrick, deciso a prendersi il castello promessogli anni prima, a qualunque costo. Una donna, che si dice sia una strega, è l’unica coraggiosa abbastanza da sfidarlo, ma Maximilian ha la soluzione: sposarla, sia che lei voglia o no, e ottenere il dovuto.
Ma il baldo guerriero dovrà tenere testa ad Alys Armstrong, una ragazza con una sete di vendetta e una rabbia che potrebbero superare le sue. Alys non ha intenzione di cedere al possente e orgoglioso mascalzone che le ha rubato tutto, per quanto seducente sia il suo tocco, e non condivide la sua fissazione per i duelli ad armi pari.
Acerrimi nemici sin dall’inizio, l’unione di Maximilian e Alys è uno scontro di volontà. Quando scoppia la passione, saranno capaci di resistere alla tentazione? E quando Kilderrick sarà in pericolo, uniranno le forze per salvare il castello che vogliono tanto, e l’amore inaspettato a cui tengono più di ogni altra cosa?
The Wolf & the Witch, book one of my Blood Brothers series of medieval romances, is on sale for a limited time for just 99cents. If you haven’t started this series, this is a great chance to dive in!
Denied his rightful legacy, Maximilian de Vries devised a plan to avenge himself upon his father and see his own future secured. Allied with his two half-brothers, he descends upon ancient and mysterious Kilderrick, determined to seize the keep once promised to him, regardless of the price. A woman rumored to be a witch is the sole one bold enough to defy him but Maximilian has a solution—he will take her to wife, whether she be willing or nay, and seal his claim.
But this powerful warrior has yet to match wits with Alys Armstrong, a maiden with a thirst for vengeance and a fury that might exceed his own. Alys has no intention of capitulating to the proud and powerful rogue who stole everything from her—no matter how seductive his touch might be—and she does not share his compulsion to fight fair.
Bitter enemies from the outset, Maximilian and Alys’ match is a battle of wills. When passion flares, will either of them be able to resist temptation? And when Kilderrick itself is in peril, will they join forces to save the holding they each prize—and the unexpected love they value above all else?
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?
Philomena Wright, Marchioness of Arlingview, is universally admired for her intellect, good sense and charitable efforts on behalf of widows and orphans. A woman with every advantage, she also has a guilty secret: in truth, she is Philomena’s twin sister, Penelope. Dreading spinsterhood, she attends a masquerade ball in the hope of finding a suitor before admitting the truth—only to encounter a gentleman who stirs her like no other…
Garrett Wright misses the purpose—and the peril—of his work as a spy during the war and is bored with his disguise as a reckless rake. When he agrees to help unveil a jewel thief preying upon London society, he is beguiled by a beauty who awakens a dream—and becomes determined to unveil the truth, whatever the cost.
When he finds stolen gems in her possession, Garrett fears his lady has a more dangerous secret than her identity. Forced to choose between honor and unexpected love, how will he both fulfill his duty and secure a happy future with the woman who has captured his heart forever?
She wed once for duty but will only wed again for love…
For as long as she can remember, Eliza North’s heart has been in the possession of her older brother’s friend, Nicholas Emerson. But Nicholas has always been oblivious to Eliza, and when he bought a commission and sailed to war, she wed sensibly instead. Returned to her brother’s house a widow, she meets Lieutenant Emerson again and realizes neither of their feelings have changed. She accepts his request to chaperone his younger sister, Helena, hoping she might win his attention yet, with the assistance of the mysterious Mrs. Oliver and her guide for seduction.
Nicholas Emerson could never aspire to wed the daughter of a duke, especially one so pragmatic as Eliza has always been. That she married for the whimsy love makes him wonder how well he knew Eliza after all. She is still the only woman who captures his attention, but he knows his injuries mean he can never marry. Still, he cannot resist the chance to request Eliza’s assistance with Helena’s second season, and the chance to share her company.
Neither of them anticipate Helena’s wild behavior or their necessary alliance to defend her reputation. Entrusted with the manuscript of Mrs. Oliver’s advice on the seductive arts, Eliza puts its counsel to use, much to Nicholas’ delighted astonishment. How can he refuse the woman he loves, even knowing that he can never ensure her happiness? Caught between honor and love, Nicholas must accept his legacy from the war for this pair to have a future—is Eliza the woman who can heal his wounds forever?
