Dear Reader;
The Warrior was a book that captured my heart from the first moment that the Hawk and Aileen’s story came to me. I love reincarnation romances, and I particularly enjoy a skeptical hero who learns to believe in things he can’t see. The hero of this book, the Hawk, is both pragmatic and practical, while his partner, Aileen, is the daughter of a woman who was psychic but deemed to be mad. I had a wonderful time writing their story and watching love heal their respective wounds.
This story is the third book in my Rogues of Ravensmuir series, each of which features a strong hero. As with all of my re-releases, I’ve chosen not to revise this book, but to republish it essentially as it was published in the first place. All three of the Rogues of Ravensmuir medieval romances are now available in both new digital editions and new print editions like this one. The linked series, The Jewels of Kinfairlie, is already available in new print and new digital editions.
I’ve recently returned to Kinfairlie and Ravensmuir and am happily writing medieval romance again. The Renegade’s Heart, the first book in a new four-book series called The True Love Brides, will be published in May 2012. This new series picks up the story from my Jewels of Kinfairlie series, following four more of the siblings at Kinfairlie as they meet their romantic matches and find their happily-ever-afters. I have missed medieval Scotland these past few years! The Renegade’s Heart is Isabella’s story. It’s wonderful to have the chance to finally tell her tale.
In preparing these new editions, I fell in love with Merlyn, Gawain and the Hawk all over again. I hope that you enjoy reading their stories as much as I loved writing them.
Until next time, I hope you are well and have plenty of good books to read.
All my best,
Claire
