New Covers for Ravensmuir Series

I’ve started the process of updating the covers for the four series set in my Ravensmuir world. I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and Dar Albert – as usual – is doing a brilliant job of bringing vague ideas to life. Here’s a peek at the new Rogues of Ravensmuir covers, although they may still be tweaked.

The Rogue, book one of the Rogues of Ravensmuir series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix
The Scoundrel, book two of the Rogues of Ravensmuir series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix
The Warrior, book three of the Rogues of Ravensmuir series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

All fourteen books set in the world of Ravensmuir are getting new covers, and new illustrations of the couples. Dar Albert is the designer. They will all be available in ebook, trade paperback (with duplexed cover) and jacketed hardcover. I’ll give you some sneak peeks as we finalize the new covers.

As has become routine, I’ll launch these at Kickstarter first, probably in August, in ebook, trade paperback and hard cover (with dust jacket). The new editions will be available at retailers in 2027.

The current print editions are being phased out at retailers. You can still order them from me at my online bookstore, Hazel & Honeysuckle Press, if you have any gaps in your collection.

Here’s the landing page for the Kickstarter campaign, so you can follow it to be notified at launch.

Love Potion #9, a time travel romance by Claire Delacroix writing as Claire Cross, new cover

Italy, August 1420: A gypsy named Lilith sees her lover hanged for a crime he didn’t commit. On the gallows, he swears to return to her. Convinced that one day he’ll be reborn, she searched for a fabled elixir—rumored to grant immortality…

Toronto, August 1999: Waiting has taken its toll on Lilith, now a fortune-teller with a gift for matchmaking. So she concocts her strongest love potion ever. She is certain her magic has worked when the spitting image of her one true love moves in next door.

A very practical—and skeptical—single father, Mitch Davison is intrigued by Lilith’s passionate welcome, yet suspicious of her motives. After all, he’s never believed in magic—and hasn’t believed in love since his wife left him. But when Lilith doubts her own intuition, it’s Mitch who must convince her that the greatest gift of all is the talent to follow your own heart…

2025 New Edition

North England, 1390: Falsely accused of witchcraft, ever-optimistic Viviane is sure the truth will set her free. But when her execution is imminent, only a wish on an unusual moonstone pendant bequeathed by her father offers any solace.

Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, 1999: Suddenly, Viviane finds herself in a wondrous realm she believes is the legendary Avalon. Befriended by some rather eccentric locals, she quickly finds the warmhearted island community happily compatible with her sunny disposition. But the hand of justice soon reaches across time and space to bring her back. The hand, however, belongs to the same handsome knight responsible for her freedom. And soon this powerful man, devoted to upholding the law, finds himself caught between duty and a far more powerful emotion…

Once Upon a Kiss, a time travel romance by Claire Delacroix writing as Claire Cross, new cover
New 2025 Edition

For over a thousand years—so legend has it—the brambles have grown wild over the ruins of Dunhelm Castle. Many believed that the thorns were a sign that the castle was cursed, so no one dared to trespass, and the secrets that they protected and concealed have remained hidden—until now…

Armed with a pair of gardening shears, Baird Beauforte is determined to clear away the brambles that hinder the development of his resort, and he won’t let local superstition deter him. Dunhelm Castle is supposed to be the latest jewel in the Beauforte Resort chain, but the renovations can’t be finished if the workmen are frightened of a so-called curse. To dispel any lingering fears, Baird decides to vanquish the briars himself. What he never expects is to find a mysterious slumbering beauty…

Aurelia is like no one he has ever met before. Upon awakening, she demands to know his identity and why he is in her father’s castle! Bemused by he claim of being a king’s daughter, he is certain he has never met this “princess” before, although something about her rouses a haunting sense of familiarity. Soon, dreams plague this by-the-book businessman… dreams that feel more like memories. And Baird begins to wonder if he can claim his heart’s princess—now and forever—with a kiss.
