    The Wolf and the Witch by Claire Delacroix

    January 30, 2026

    The three sons of a notorious mercenary should never have met…but now that they are sworn allies, the Scottish Borders will never be the same…

    Denied his rightful legacy, Maximilian de Vries devised a plan to avenge himself upon his father and see his own future secured. Allied with his two half-brothers, he descends upon ancient and mysterious Kilderrick, determined to seize the keep once promised to him, regardless of the price. A woman rumored to be a witch is the sole one bold enough to defy him but Maximilian has a solution—he will take her to wife, whether she be willing or nay, and seal his claim.
     
    But this powerful warrior has yet to match wits with Alys Armstrong, a maiden with a thirst for vengeance and a fury that might exceed his own. Alys has no intention of capitulating to the proud and powerful rogue who stole everything from her—no matter how seductive his touch might be—and she does not share his compulsion to fight fair.
     
    Bitter enemies from the outset, Maximilian and Alys’ match is a battle of wills. When passion flares, will either of them be able to resist temptation? And when Kilderrick itself is in peril, will they join forces to save the holding they each prize—and the unexpected love they value above all else?
    A positive review of the novel:

    “Author Claire Delacroix’s writing style and story-writing ability in her Medieval Historical Romances has always charmed me. Even though this is Maximillan and Alys’s story, her character building of the supporting characters is not stagnant. Rather, there are changes afoot for them all. I eagerly await the next book in the series.”

    A five star review of the novel:

    “I love Joy and her integrity and her love of family including Caden. Tanner was more difficult to love. But he did grow on me as I grew to know him better. He was so good with Caden. Caden was the star of the show. I enjoyed seeing him learn and change. The Cowboy’s Reunited Christmas is a well written story that pulled me in and made me root for a happy ending.”

    Only Enchanting by Mary Balogh

    November 28, 2025

    Flavian, Viscount Ponsonby, finds salvation in the love of a most unsuspecting woman…

    Flavian was devastated by his fiancée’s desertion after his return home from the Napoleonic Wars. Now the woman who broke his heart is back—and everyone is eager to revive their engagement. Except Flavian, who, in a panic, runs straight into the arms of a most sensible yet enchanting young woman. Agnes Keeping has never been in love—and never wishes to be. But then she meets the charismatic Flavian, and suddenly Agnes falls so foolishly and so deeply that she agrees to his impetuous proposal of marriage. When Agnes discovers that the proposal is only to avenge his former love, she’s determined to flee. But Flavian has no intention of letting his new bride go, especially now that he too has fallen so passionately and so unexpectedly in love.
     
    What the author on why she decided to write this series based around PTSD as a common element:

    “I like a tough challenge and I like heroes and heroines who are wounded in some way. Internal conflict is as important to me as external conflict. There must be both if the book is to have meat on its bones. Characters who have no real, deep-seated problems to keep them from love and happiness would be incredibly difficult to make into dynamic heroes and heroines.”
