Synopsis
Dear Reader:
It is true that I acted boldly, brazenly, wantonly...and I confess, I have only myself to blame. I knew what sort of man I was dealing with, knew Gawain Lammergeier was a rogue and a thief. Yet when I schemed to seduce him and reclaim what was rightfully mine, I never imagined I would succumb to the charms of this reckless, golden-haired scoundrel.
Make no mistake, I took what I came for — the sacred relic stolen from my father that can restore the fortunes of my keep. I should have been content then, to return home with my prize. Alas, I let desire rule me. For I have dared to tempt Gawain — to best me, bewitch me and even bed me, in pursuit of my treasure.
—Lady Evangeline of Inverfyre

*****
Claire has published three series set in her medieval Scottish world of Ravensmuir, Kinfairlie and Inverfyre and is working on a fourth.
The Rogues of Ravensmuir series is a loosely linked trilogy and is chronologically first:
1. The Rogue (Merlyn and Ysabella)
2. The Scoundrel (Gawain and Evangeline)
3. The Warrior (Michael (the Hawk) and Aileen)
The Jewels of Kinfairlie series introduces the next generation of eight siblings at Kinfairlie. Because these books are more tightly linked, it's best to read the stories in order:
The Jewels of Kinfairlie series:
1. The Beauty Bride (Madeline and Rhys)
2. The Rose Red Bride (Vivienne and Erik)
3. The Snow White Bride (Alexander and Eleanor)
4. The Ballad of Rosamunde (Rosamunde and Padraig)
The True Love Brides series:
1. The Renegade's Heart (Isabella and Murdoch)
2. The Highlander's Curse (Annelise and Garrett)
3. The Frost Maiden's Kiss (Malcolm and Catriona)
4. The Warrior's Prize (Elizabeth and Rafael)
Follow Ross, the last unwed sibling, to Inverfyre, where we catch up with the Hawk and Aileen's children, too.
The Brides of Inverfyre series:
1. The Mercenary's Bride (Mhairi and Quentin)
2. The Runaway Bride (Ross and Aiofe)
3. The Stolen Bride, (Evangeline and Ramsay) - Coming Soon!
