Released from the captivity of the Fae, Murdoch Seton wants nothing more than to forget his lost years. Undertaking a quest to recover treasure stolen from his family seems the perfect solution – but Murdoch is not counting upon a curious maiden who holds both the secret to the theft and his sole redemption.Isabella is outraged to find her brother’s keep besieged by a renegade knight – especially … especially one who is too handsome for his own good or hers. After a single encounter, she becomes convinced that his cause is just and decides to unveil the true thief, never imagining that their single shared kiss has launched a battle for Murdoch’s very soul.
As the treacherous Fae move to claim Murdoch forever, Isabella seeks to heal the knight who has stolen her heart. But will Murdoch allow her to take a risk and endanger herself? Or will he sacrifice himself to ensure Isabella’s future?
*****
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!

Great book
I love a good fairytale and was not disappointed in the least. Full of all types of fae, The Renegade’s Heart is an enticing medieval romance with a twist. The hero, a knight long thought dead, cursed by the Elphine Queen, has one month left as a mortal before joining her realm as a plaything or dying of a festered wound the queen had magicked …
I wish it was cleaner-the sex was too graphic. The characters were very well written.
Claire Delacroix is becoming one of my favorite authors. This was a stand alone book, although it’s always nice to meet characters from one of her other books and see how they’re all tied in. I didn’t care so much, however, for all the fairy nonsense.
Just what you would expect from this author. A great happily ever after book. Loved the characters.
I love her books. This is another in a series about sisters and it was wonderful. Loved the story and how it tied in ty o the previous ones with the Fey. Magical, funny and romantic!
Just could not get in to it.
This story’s plot is about true love, and the power that true love has upon the heart. It is told as a Scottish fairy tale with the rules of the Fae and their power in the real world. It contains all the reasons why humans should not accept hospitality from the Other. The story is emotional, compelling and entertaining. I enjoyed stepping back …
Definitely, didn’t enjoy the addition of magical, little people in the story.
enjoyed the book
I enjoyed the story with the far world and the dangers in it. The characters are great and interesting. I really liked the strength of the female character.
Enjoyed this book very much. I have since read several books by Claire Delacroix and have her on my list for future books. I keep a diary of books I read, what the story is about, main people and time of story.
Never finished the book. Weird story line, for me.
Could not put it down.
Enjoyable, Entertaining and Highly Recommended.
Hard to put down!
You don’t want to put it down so expect a late night with this book
