The Stolen Bride, book three of the Brides of Inverfyre series of medieval Scottish romances by Claire Delacroix

Ramsay MacLaren owes a debt to the daughter of the Hawk of Inverfyre, one he will never forget‚ for the beguiling beauty helped him escape her father’s dungeon, saving his life and capturing his heart. When he hears that she is to wed a man he knows to be a knave, Ramsay must warn her, though he believes he can never claim Evangeline for his own.


Rebellion in her heart, Evangeline Armstrong hopes for the best from her arranged match with a stranger, dreaming all the while of a single encounter with Ramsay MacLaren, a handsome outlaw, her father’s sworn enemy, and a man whose very name makes her heart leap. Brigands attack her party en route to the wedding, and Ramsay himself corners her, insisting she must not make the match, then steals a kiss that will haunt her dreams.

Evangeline soon learns the truth of Ramsay’s claim when she is the sole witness of her betrothed’s heinous crime. Without allies in his abode, she flees his attack upon her with Ramsay’s aid—who insists they wed for her own protection. Their night together only awakens a desire for a thousand more—and makes Evangeline yearn for a forbidden union that she fears can never be. Can she trust a warrior whose kiss stirs her very soul, choosing him over her own family? Even if Ramsay can defeat his lady’s betrothed and defend her honor, can he win the heart of the lady who holds him in thrall?

The Beauty Bride in German is a Fr33 read

The German edition of The Beauty Bride is called Die schöne Braut and it’s a free series starter through the end of June. It’s book #1 of the Jewels of Kinfairlie series of medieval Scottish romances, and the series is complete in German. The books are also available in trade paperback editions.

Die schon Braut, The Beauty Bride book one of the Jewels of Kinfairlie series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix in its German edition

Höhergeschätzt als Gold sind die Juwelen von Kinfairlie und nur die Würdigsten dürfen um ihre Liebe kämpfen … Der Laird von Kinfairlie hat fünf unverheiratete Schwestern – jede für sich ein Kleinod. Und er hat keine andere Wahl, als sie in aller Eile zu verheiraten.

Lady Madelines Herz ist nicht käuflich zu erwerben … vor allem nicht durch einen verrufenen Geächteten wie Rhys FitzHenry. Und doch wurde Madelines Hand verkauft, an keinen anderen als an diesen kampfesmüden Krieger, auf den ein Kopfgeld ausgesetzt ist. Eine pflichtgetreuere Maid würde dem Befehl des Lairds vielleicht Folge leisten und ihr Schicksal widerspruchslos annehmen, doch Madeline war noch nie gehorsam. Sie beschließt, fortzulaufen, und denkt nicht im Traum daran, dass Rhys sie verfolgen könnte.

Sie erwartet nicht, dass dieser wortkarge Mann ihr den Hof macht, indem er ihr fantasievolle Geschichten erzählt, und noch viel weniger, dass jeder seiner packenden Berichte eine Narbe auf seiner Seele enthüllt, die er hinter einem Schutzschild verborgen hält. Es ist für sie unvorstellbar, dass ein Mann wie Rhys ihr Herz in Gefahr bringen könnte, während er selbst so wenig von seinen eigenen Gefühlen verrät. Als Rhys’ Vergangenheit seine Zukunft bedroht, fasst Madeline den Entschluss, ihm blind zu vertrauen. Sie geht das Wagnis ein, zu glauben, dass er unschuldig ist – und riskiert ihr Leben für eine Leidenschaft, die wertvoller ist als das kostbarste Juwel.

„Ein gefühlvoller historischer Liebesroman, der im Mittelalter spielt.“—Publishers Weekly


Die schöne Braut ist auch als Hörbuch in englischer Sprache erhältlich.

Bride Quest Shorts are now in KOBO Plus!

This month, I have two new reads for you if you’re a KOBO Plus subscriber. Christmas at Tullymullagh and Easter at Airdfinnan are now enrolled in KOBO Plus.

Christmas at Tullymullagh is a Bride Quest story and #7 in the series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

Five years after the end of The Heiress, the brothers Fitzgavin gather at Castle Tullymullagh with their wives and families to celebrate the Yule, and a gentle ghost seizes the opportunity to add to the good fortune of all.

This short story and epilogue to the Bride Quest I is available in ebook on its own, and is included in the new mass market paperback and hard cover editions of The Heiress. Although it actually occurs after events in The Countess, you don’t have to read Eglantine and Duncan’s story before this one.

This story is included in the new 25th Anniversary commemorative hard cover and mass market paperback editions of The Heiress.

Easter at Airdfinnan is an epilogue to the Bride Quest II trilogy, set six years after the end of The Temptress.

Six years after the end of The Temptress, the family have all been invited to Airdfinnan to celebrate Easter, as well as the knighting of Jacqueline and Angus’ oldest son Fergus. There’s also a betrothal planned between their oldest daughter, Annelise, and Rowan’s son, Nicholas. An arranged marriage between the pair might make sense, but more than one person in attendance is keeping quiet about their doubts. The mysterious vine that bloomed during Bayard’s courtship of Esmeraude is growing again, though, seemingly determined to ensure that the path of true love succeeds. Will Nicholas make a love match instead of an arranged marriage?  

This novella and epilogue to the Bride Quest II is available in ebook on its own, and is included in the new mass market paperback and hard cover editions of The Temptress.

The Runaway Bride is 99cents!

This month, my medieval Scottish romance, The Runaway Bride, is discounted for the first time ever. Ross and Aiofe’s story is just 99 cents through the end of December. Remember that there’s a third book in this series, The Stolen Bride, and that you can read about Ross’s seven siblings in The Jewels of Kinfairlie series and The True Love Brides series.

The Runaway Bride, book #2 of the Brides of Inverfyre series of medieval Scottish romances by Claire Delacroix

Aoife MacNeill is a beauty and a prize, a former heiress who wants to marry for love, but her father has arranged her marriage to Nigel Armstrong, the oldest son and heir of the Hawk of Inverfyre. One look confirms that Nigel will never possess her heart—although his cousin, Ross of Kinfairlie, is another matter. Aoife knows she cannot escape her fate, but yearns for one last adventure: she will flee Inverfyre and hope that Ross will be sent in pursuit. She tells herself that one kiss will be sufficient…

Ross of Kinfairlie is a mercenary with a blade for hire; a knight without the coin to claim a bride. When his cousin’s betrothed flees, he lends chase, for the Hawk of Inverfyre trained him. Ross suspects that Aiofe plays a game, but her ploy is dangerous—the treacherous MacLaren clan, always seeking to undermine Inverfyre, take her captive. In the course of rescuing Aoife and ensuring her safety, Ross finds himself captivated by the fierce and beautiful maiden. How much will Ross surrender to guarantee Aoife’s safety? And how much will Aoife offer to protect the man who has captured her heart?

Two German Paperbacks

Recently, I created a trade paperback edition of Der Wolf und die Hexe, which is the German translation of The Wolf & the Witch. I was curious about options and possibilities.

As a result, there are two versions of the trade paperback edition of Der Wolf und die Hexe. The Amazon-exclusive version has Maximilian on the cover (shown at right). The version available everywhere else has the sword on the cover and Maximilian inside (shown at left).

Two versions of Der Wolf und die Hexe in print: Amazon-exclusive edition on the right, edition for all other portals on the left.

See? The left one is a duplexed cover, with Maximilian inside.

I kind of like this option of combining the discrete cover with the mancandy on the print edition. What do you think? Should I do this for English titles in future?

You may be able to order either version at Amazon – look under Other Formats & Editions to find the link for the burgundy one. The Amazon links below will take you to the Amazon-exclusive edition, with Maximilian on the front.
