Easter at Airdfinnan Available Today!

My new Bride Quest novella, Easter at Airdfinnan, is available today!

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.

Christmas Romances

Christmas Romances by Claire Delacroix

In the mood for a Christmas romance? Here are some of my books that take place at Christmas.

A Duke by Any Other Name
is a Regency romance featuring a duke in disguise and a perceptive maiden, both attending a Christmas wedding. Alexander intends to identify and capture a spy but is enticed by Daphne—will she help him to succeed or undermine his plan? (I think of this as my Scarlet Pimpernel story.)

The Snow White Bride
is a medieval Scottish romance featuring a marriage of convenience between a lady on the run and the Laird of Kinfairlie, who thinks he has no time to wed. Christmas at Kinfairlie means mummers and celebration—the healing of old wounds and a love unexpected. I love this story so much.

The Mercenary’s Bride
is a medieval Scottish novella, in which Quentin returns to Inverfyre bent on revenge—but finds a second chance at love instead. There’s nothing I love more than a wounded hero who finds true love and a happy ending.

A Most Inconvenient Earl
is a Christmas Regency romance novella, which you can read in the Twelve Lords of Christmas right now, along with eleven other holiday romances. Sebastian gets more than expected when Eurydice proposes to him—when he accepts, their adventure begins. This is another story of love unexpected, and I love their banter.

The Rogue
was my first visit to Ravensmuir. Merlyn and Ysabella have a second chance at love, but not before someone threatens Merlyn’s life and Ysabella has to surrender her (many) secrets. This one has some suspense elements and a bit of Gothic tone, but Merlyn remains one of my favorite heroes.

A Baron for All Seasons

A Baron for All Seasons, book 3 of the Brides of North Barrows series of Regency romances by Claire Delacroix

Anthea and Rupert’s story is in the works, and it will be a holiday romance novella. A Baron for All Seasons is book #3 of the Brides of North Barrows series of Regency romances – if you haven’t read the first two stories in the series, now’s your chance to catch up. (Anthea and Rupert first appear in A Duke by Any Other Name.)

A Baron for All Seasons will be included in an anthology this fall, then will be available in a solo edition in spring 2022.

I’ll share details with you as they become available.

In the meantime, it’s back to Regency London – for a second chance romance with SPIES – for me!
