An Elegy for Melusine by Claire Delacroix, German edition

Melusine ist dazu verflucht, jede Woche einen Tag lang die Gestalt zu wechseln und sie weiß, dass nur die Liebe sie befreien kann. Als sie Raymond begegnet, einem gut aussehenden Ritter, der dringend Hilfe braucht, die nur sie ihm geben kann, glaubt sie, dass ihre Chance gekommen ist. Sie schwört ihm eine treue Ehefrau zu sein und seine Liebe zu verdienen, auch wenn sie ihren Fluch geheim halten will. Als ihre glückliche Verbindung durch ein Unglück auf die Probe gestellt wird, schwört Raymond, dem eifersüchtigen Geflüster der Anderen das Gegenteil zu beweisen. Wird er in Versuchung geraten, sein Versprechen gegenüber Melusine zu brechen, um die Wahrheit herauszufinden? Und wird seine Liebe zu seiner Braut überleben, wenn ihr Geheimnis gelüftet wird?

The Frost Maiden's Kiss, book three of the True Love Brides series of medieval Scottish romances by Claire Delacroix, Italian edition

Lo incantò con un bacio…ma conquistare il suo amore avrebbe richiesto tutto ciò che lui possedeva.

Dopo otto anni lontano da casa, Malcom ritorna in Scozia ricco, determinato a riprendersi la proprietà ereditata e in compagnia di un uomo ancora più indurito di lui dalle esperienze della vita. Ma, quando quel compagno è in pericolo, Malcom coglie l’occasione per ripagare un vecchio debito, scambiando la propria anima con quella dell’amico condannato. Sapendo che i suoi giorni sono limitati e determinato a lasciare un ricordo onorevole di sé, Malcom ricostruisce Ravensmuir in tutta fretta, pur temendo che non avrà mai un erede.

Una notte di violenze ha privato Catriona della casa e della fiducia nell’onore degli uomini. Non si aspetta niente di buono da una visita al fratello della sua signora, il laird di Ravensmuir, noto mercenario. Ma il bel laird sfida le sue aspettative mostrandosi gentile e affascinante. Consapevole di trovarsi davanti alla sua unica possibilità di assicurare un futuro a suo figlio, Catriona osa accettare la proposta di matrimonio di Malcom. Presto, si rende conto che quel guerriero combatte una battaglia tutta sua e che lei rappresenta la chiave della sua salvezza. Ma il passato la perseguita, cercando di sottrarle tutto ciò a cui tiene, incluso il laird che ha sciolto il gelo del suo riluttante cuore.

Lady Eleanor sabe que não deve sonhar com romance e amor. Casada duas vezes para garantir as alianças do pai, ela aprendeu que é desejável apenas por sua fortuna. Quando as irmãs do lorde of Kinfairlie pedem que ela se case com o irmão, Alexander, Eleanor concorda, esperando apenas se salvar do perigo.

Mas Alexander não é como nenhum homem que ela conheceu antes, um homem mais interessado em cortejar seu sorriso do que sua obediência, um homem que valoriza seus conselhos tanto quanto sua recém-despertada paixão… e um homem que não sabe que Eleanor é a chave para uma fortuna que poderá garantir o futuro de tudo o que lhe é mais caro.

Porém, inimigos implacáveis ​​não vão parar por nada para garantir a captura de Eleanor. Ela ousará confiar em seu marido antes que seja tarde demais para ela, para Alexander e para Kinfairlie?

Booklist

The Dragon & the Damsel Delayed 30 Days

I’ve moved the publication date for Rafael and Ceara’s book out one month, just to give a little breathing room. With my books coming out of Kindle Unlimited, there have been a lot of admin tasks to complete and I’m feeling the press of time. That extra month will ensure that I have time to make the book the best it can be.

If you’ve pre-ordered the book, you’ll likely receive a notification from your portal of choice. You don’t have to do anything. 🙂

The Dragon & the Damsel, book three of the Blood Brothers trilogy of medieval Scottish romances by Claire Delacroix

A mercenary convinced that each man must see to his own survival first, Rafael has learned to savor the moment and its pleasures. He is interested solely in conquest and coin, not any promise of the future—until an alluring maiden challenges him, defying him to stake a claim. Rafael cannot resist Ceara with her flame-red hair and keen wits, but their cat-and-mouse game takes a dangerous turn when Ceara is stolen by her kin. Rafael cannot stand aside when the damsel’s survival is at risk—though if she has stolen his shielded heart, she must never know of his weakness…

Ceara fled an arranged marriage, determined to wed for love or not at all. A horsewoman and huntress herself, she has encountered no man worthy of her affection—until she matches wits with Rafael, with his flashing eyes and seductive touch. She knows the handsome warrior seeks only one prize from her, but hopes to steal his heart. When she is captured and compelled to return to her betrothed, she is thrilled that Rafael lends chase. When he claims her as his own bride, Ceara dares to hope for more than a marriage of convenience.

But Rafael appears to be interested solely in conquest and passion, and their match becomes a battle of wills. Will Ceara be cast aside when her newfound spouse is offered the prize he desires above all else? Warrior and damsel, can these two wounded souls learn to surrender the truth of their hearts—before their union is shattered forever?

Coming October 20, 2022
