The Christmas Conquest is Free!

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, 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?

The Beauty Bride in Italian is a FR33 Series Starter!

There are new editions of the Jewels of Kinfairlie available in Italian, and the Italian edition of The Beauty Bride (Un amore da favola) is now a free series starter. Right now, the first three books in the series are available in their new editions – the Italian edition of The Ballad of Rosamunde and of The Renegade’s Heart will be published in new editions in May. The reviews from the previous editions aren’t showing up on these new ones so far, so if you reviewed any of these books in the past, it would be lovely if you could post your review again. 🙂

Un amore da Favola, the Italian translation of The Beauty Bride, a medieval romance by Claire Delacroix

Più preziosi dell’oro sono i Gioielli di Kinfairlie, e solo l’uomo più degno può combattere per ottenere il loro amore…Il Laird di Kinfairlie ha cinque sorelle nubili, ognuna a suo modo una gemma. E lui non ha altra scelta se non quella di trovare loro un marito il più presto possibile.

Il cuore di lady Madeline non è in vendita… Soprattutto per un famigerato fuorilegge come Rhys FitzHenry. Eppure, la sua mano è stata venduta esattamente a quest’uomo, un guerriero stanco di combattere e con una taglia sulla testa. Una fanciulla più docile avrebbe obbedito alla volontà del Laird e accettato in silenzio il proprio destino. Solo che Madeline, che non è mai stata obbediente, decide di scappare, senza neanche immaginare che Rhys possa inseguirla.

Lei non si aspetta che quell’uomo taciturno la corteggi raccontandole storie stravaganti, ognuna delle quali rivelerà le cicatrici che circondano la sua anima. E nemmeno si aspetta che Rhys, pur celando gelosamente i propri sentimenti, possa mettere in pericolo il suo cuore.

Quando il passato di Rhys arriva a minacciare il suo futuro, Madeline decide di credere alla sua innocenza, rischiando la sua stessa vita per abbandonarsi ad una passione più preziosa persino della gemma più rara.

“Un entusiasmante romanzo medievale!”Publishers Weekly

Un amore da favola è un romance storico con una buona dose di avventura, ricco di storie e leggende, un viaggio di una coppia frizzante e appassionata che inizia a conoscersi.”—Maika Medici

Delizioso ed avvincente, questo romanzo scorre facilmente e ci appassiona con tutti i protagonisti, che per non spoilerare troppo ho preferito non nominare. Ognuno di loro gioca un bel ruolo, come dinanzi ad una scacchiera, e vengono mossi i fili giusti per una romantica e magica storia  che porta la firma di una delle più brave scrittrici di romanzi storici e fantasy. Rhys, comunque, resta il mio preferito: come racconta le storie lui… nessuno!“—Il Libro Sel Como’ du Meg
