The Brides of North Barrows marks a shift in Claire Delacroix’s historical setting from the medieval period she primarily works in toward the Regency, following the women and men connected to the North Barrows estate through four books between 2017 and 2022.
Something Wicked This Way Comes (2017) opens with a title that signals some supernatural flavor in the Regency setting. The subsequent titles — A Duke by Any Other Name (2019), A Baron for All Seasons (2021), A Most Inconvenient Earl (2022) — use wordplay on established phrases to position the books within the Regency romance tradition, where aristocratic titles drive both plot and comedy.
The four books are self-contained within the series while sharing the estate setting and social world that connects them.
