The Hunter & the Heiress in Portuguès

My medieval romance, The Hunter & the Heiress, is now available in a Portuguese edition!

O Caçador e a Herdeira is the Portuguese edition of The Hunter and The Heiress, book two of the Blood Brothers series of medieval Scottish romances by Claire Delacroix

Nada poderia estar mais longe das expectativas de Amaury de Vries do que juntar-se à companhia de mercenários de seu meio-irmão nas terras selvagens da Escócia. Cavaleiro e campeão de Justas, ele esperava herdar uma propriedade, até que o homem que conheceu como pai revelou uma verdade terrível e o rejeitou. Sem nada, Amaury segue até Kilderrick, onde perde o coração para uma bela nobre na floresta. Sendo  um homem prático, ele sabe que não tem o direito de cortejar a dama, mas quando ela é sequestrada, Amaury parte em perseguição, determinado a cumprir seu dever de cavaleiro ajudando uma donzela em perigo.

Elizabeth d’Acron sempre foi um peão e um prêmio, perseguida pela rica propriedade de seu pai, mas tudo que quer é ser desejada por quem é. Sequestrada outra vez, ela jura que não se renderá a nenhum homem, nem mesmo ao belo cavaleiro que vem ao seu socorro. E, verdade seja dita, não poderia haver ninguém mais irritante do que esse homem confiante, mas inescrutável, tão preocupado com o dever que poderia ser forjado de pedra, mas Elizabeth logo descobre que pode confiar em Amaury para defendê-la a qualquer custo. Ela não esperava o fogo sedutor despertado pelo toque dele, muito menos que ele conquistasse seu coração cauteloso, mas será que ela se apaixonou por um homem cujos afetos já são reivindicados?

Preso entre o dever e a paixão, Amaury se vê seduzido pela dama que desafia todas as suas expectativas, no entanto, ele sabe que tem pouco a oferecer. Contudo, quando Elizabeth é ameaçada por um antigo pretendente que não aceita ser recusado, Amaury arrisca tudo para defendê-la, na esperança de que baste. Será que ele conseguirá intervir a tempo? Será que o amor sozinho convencerá Elizabeth a colocar a mão na dele para sempre?

Sorting Those Pre-Orders

Those of you in my Facebook group know that I’m moving away from assetless pre-orders for 2024. This means that my pre-orders will be shorter, because they’ll only be loaded once each book is done. The reasons for this are that the portals have been lengthening the time required to process a book file, and also that they sometimes muck up and deliver the wrong file. If they only get the final one, that can’t happen. The other issue with long pre-orders is that life happens, as it has for me lately, and differnet portals have different rules about moving the delivery date on a pre-order.

Last week, I sorted out the rest of 2023.

The Scot and the Sorceress, book four of the Blood Brothers trilogy by Claire Delacroix

The Scot & the Sorceress will now be published on August 29. This means that the existing pre-order at Amazon had to be cancelled (because it couldn’t be moved). If you had pre-ordered the book there, that pre-order has been cancelled. Right now, there’s no pre-order at Amazon. I’ll create a new one in August, once the book is done. As usual, there is no pre-order at GooglePlay. The book will be available there on the publication date. If yo upre-ordered at Nook or KOBO, you’ve probably received a message about the book’s new publication date.

Also, the pre-order link for Murdoch’s book at Apple has changed. I had set it up to deliver from Draft2Digital, but the first two books in the series are published directly to Apple and all books in the series have to reach the Apple store the same way for Apple to add them to a series page. I figured we’d just bite the bullet and change it over now.

There is also a new link for The Dragon & the Damsel for Apple for the same reason.

One Knight's Desire, book three of the Rogues & Angels series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

One Knight’s Desire will now be published on October 24. For the same reason as with S&S, the existing pre-order at Amazon has been cancelled. and there will be a new one created closer to the publication date. If you had pre-ordered the book at Apple, Nook or KOBO, you’ve probably received a message about the changed date.

The pre-orders are up for both Christmas at Tullymullagh and Easter at Airdfinnan, both of which are done and will deliver on December 12. (Yay!)

My last release of the year will be The Stolen Bride in December. Phew!

In 2024, we’ll switch over to pre-orders when books are completed and this will all be so much simpler. Thanks for your patience!

The Runaway Bride in Italian

My medieval romance, The Runaway Bride, is now available in an Italian edition!

La sposa in fuga is the Italian edition of The Runaway Bride, book two of the Brides of Inverfyre series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

Aoife MacNeill è una bellezza, un trofeo da conquistare. Ora che non è più un’ereditiera, vorrebbe sposarsi per amore, ma suo padre ha organizzato il suo matrimonio con Nigel Armstrong, figlio maggiore ed erede del Falco di Inverfyre. Le basta uno sguardo per capire che Nigel non conquisterà mai il suo cuore, ma suo cugino, Ross di Kinfairlie, è tutta un’altra storia.

Aoife sa che non può sfuggire al suo destino, eppure desidera ardentemente tentare la sua ultima carta: fuggire da Inverfyre e sperare che Ross venga mandato al suo inseguimento. Sarà sufficiente un bacio…

Ross di Kinfairlie è un mercenario che mette la sua spada al servizio dei signori, un cavaliere privo dei beni necessari per poter reclamare una sposa. Quando la fidanzata del cugino scappa, corre al suo inseguimento perchè sa di dovere qualcosa al Falco che lo ha addestrato. Ross sospetta che Aoife non sia consapevole dei rischi che corre e infatti l’infido clan dei MacLaren, che cerca da sempre di danneggiare Inverfyre, la fa prigioniera.

Durante il salvataggio, Ross si ritrova affascinato dalla bella e selvaggia fanciulla. Quanto sarà disposto a cedere Ross per garantire la sicurezza di Aoife?

E quanto rischierà Aoife per proteggere l’uomo che ha catturato il suo cuore?
