The Frost Maiden’s Kiss, book three of my True Love Brides series of medieval Scottish romances, is now available in an Italian edition!

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.

First Batch of Books in Wide Distribution

Here we go! My medieval romances are coming out of Kindle Unlimited and moving to wide distribution again. The first batch is live at the other portals now, and I’ve rebuilt the links here on my site.

The Crusader's Bride, book one of the Champions of St. Euphemia series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix
The Crusader’s Bride

The Champions of St. Euphemia

The Rogues of Ravensmuir

The Bride Quest

The Unicorn Books

Rogues & Angels

I’ve also had the Boxed Sets removed from Kindle Unlimited. They won’t be available at the other retailers until all of the individual books are wide again.

The Blood Brothers series is the only one that will remain in Kindle Unlimited.

I’ve also added a lot more buy links for print editions and have added print and audio buy links to the Books2Read pages.

For September, The Countess will be a free read. It’s starting to go free at some portals – Amazon will be the last, of course, but you can grab it now at GooglePlay, Apple or Smashwords.

The rest of my medieval romance backlist comes out of KU September 14. If you have KU reading to do, now’s the time to get to it!

The Mercenary’s Bride in Spanish

My Scottish medieval romance and Christmas story, The Mercenary’s Bride, is now available in a Spanish edition!

The Year Ahead

Yesterday, there was a post on the blog of my Deborah Cooke website, about my month in the garden this past May and the decisions I made while weeding. The upshot of it all is that I’ll be focussed on historical romance for the next year, to the exclusion of other sub-genres. I’m curious to see where this takes both my stress level and my sales.

This decision is why I was able to add a new Regency romance series, The Ladies’ Essential Guide to the Art of Seduction, to my schedule, and I’m looking forward to it.

So, here’s my publication schedule as it looks right now:

The Brides of North Barrows including all four Regency romance novellas by Claire Delacroix
The Brides of North Barrows
August 2022
The Dragon and the Damsel, book three of the Blood Brothers trilogy of medieval Scottish romances by Claire Delacroix
The Dragon & the Damsel
September 2022
The Masquerade of the Marchioness, a Regency romance by Claire Delacroix
The Masquerade of the Marchioness
November 2022
The Widow's Wager, a Regency romance by Claire Delacroix
The Widow’s Wager
February 2023
The Scot and the Sorceress, book four of the Blood Brothers trilogy by Claire Delacroix
The Scot & the Sorceress
April 2023
One Knight's Desire, book three of the Rogues & Angels series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix
One Knight’s Desire
July 2023

I know more and have my work planned through the end of 2024, but I’d rather share details once I have covers and pre-orders. There will be more stories in The Ladies’ Essential Guide to the Art of Seduction published next year, for example. That series is planned to have seven books and will finish up in early 2024.

You probably noticed that One Knight’s Desire is back on the schedule for publication next July. I’ll be continuing with the Rogues & Angels series, which also is planned to be seven books long.

I’ve also decided to take my backlist titles out of Kindle Unlimited (not Blood Brothers just yet) and republish them at the other portals. That will probably take until the end of September, but if you’re reading in KU, finish up your series now.

This is a pretty relaxed schedule for me in terms of writing, so I have a number of other histrom projects that I’m hoping to tuck into the plan. I’ll write those first, then list them for short pre-orders when they’re done.

Last Term for Backlist in Kindle Unlimited

The Crusader's Bride, book one of the Champions of St. Euphemia series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix
The Crusader’s Bride

I did some number crunching over the holiday weekend and have decided to move my backlist historical romances out of Kindle Unlimited, and make them available at all portals again. I’ll leave Blood Brothers there for the time being.

In September, the Champions of St. Euphemia will go wide again, followed by the Unicorn series and Rogues & Angels. The Bride Quest and the Ravensmuir books will go wide again in September as well.

If you’re in the midst of reading one of my backlist series in KU, now’s the time to finish it up!
