Tuesday Ebook Spotlight: A Cajun Dream

For this week only, my award-winning novel, "A Cajun Dream," part of the Cajun Series of historical romances, is only 99 cents at Amazon.com. I wrote this book in 1999, during Louisiana's FrancoFete, or 300th anniversary celebration. At the time it was a stand-alone novel but I was asked to write a novella as a follow-up and then a longer series, so I decided to tie them all together as one family. 

The Cajun Series begins now with "Emilie" and continues with three more historical romances until "A Cajun Dream," but each book stands alone. 

Here's the book description:  

​

Spurned by the Americans living in the South Louisiana town of Franklin because of her Catholic upbringing, and forbidden to associate with the French Creoles and Cajuns by her father, Amanda Rose Richardson believes she is destined to become an old maid. When she finds herself in a compromised situation by the town rogue, it is her good friend René Comeaux, the darkly handsome and passionate Cajun who rescues her. Unbeknown to Amanda, René has been in love with her for months. But can René convince her father his intentions are honorable and win the heart of the "Jolie Blonde" he adores?

Here's what others have said about my novel:

"A Cajun Dream will bring a smile to readers' faces. Ms. Claire has captured the sweetness of falling in love the first time with the gentleness of Dorothy Garlock and the tenderness of Pamela Morsi." — Maria C. Ferrer for Romantic Times magazine

"What a marvelous debut! Cherie Claire is sure to earn a bevy of fans with this charming and heartwarming tale." — Rexanne Becnel, author of "Blink of An Eye" 

And if you do want to start at the beginning, "Emilie" is FREE to download. In fact, the first book in all my series is a FREE ebook.
