FROM THE AUTHOR: I love family first and foremost. Maybe you can tell that from my books since they always feature the warmth and joy that comes from having a close-knit family. I also love animals and have taken in rescue dogs and cats and fostered dogs for the local animal shelter. And of course, I love writing. All I need is a functioning brain (batteries not included), a pen, and paper, and I can write anywhere. Please don’t let a conversation with me lag because my imagination takes over and I. Am. Checked. Out!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my books. I hope they live with you for a short time the way they live with me. I love hearing from my readers. For a personal response, please contact me at Day@DayLeclaire.com. And if you enjoyed reading one of my books, I hope you'll consider leaving a review.

Four great books in one amazing bundle!
Married by Midnight! Come to the Cinderella Ball single . . . leave happily wed.
The Cinderella Ball is the chance of a lifetime for individuals to come together to find their special someone. Their one and only. Their soul mate. Obtaining a ticket isn’t easy, but for those select few, it offers the chance at a lifetime of happiness.
Fairy Tale Husband:
Lone wolf, Jake Hondo has lived his life as an outcast. A bastard. Now he has a shot to change all that. In order to secure his inheritance, all he needs is to wed and bed a woman. Any woman. After that, he and his bride can go their separate ways, which is exactly how he wants it.
Kind-hearted waif, Wynne Sommers, longs for happily-ever-after, love at first sight, and knights in shining armor. The Cinderella Ball offers her all of that . . . and more. All she needs is the right man to accept that her love comes as part of a “package deal,” a package that includes her young niece and nephew.
When Jake's new life with Wynne is threatened, will he be able to save his family from the forces marshaling against them? Or will he lose everything—his home, the children he’s sworn to protect, and the woman who’s become the most important person in his life?
Fairy Tale Wife:
Brilliant businesswoman, Nikki Ashton is in a desperate situation. In order to hold her young, smitten boss at a safe distance, she invented a husband. Now she needs to produce her absentee soul mate or risk being outed as a liar, something that could bring a fast end to her stellar career. The Cinderella Ball offers the perfect solution. All she has to do is find a strong, alpha male willing to marry her … temporarily.
Tough, take-charge businessman, Jonah Alexander, will do everything necessary to protect his family, including marrying the gorgeous gold-digger who’s set her matrimonial sights on his baby brother. When he discovers the two are planning to attend some sort of marriage ball in order to tie the knot, he swoops in, his world upended by the gorgeous, desperate redhead when passion explodes between them.
Fairy Tale Wedding:
Five long years ago, shy, passionate Ella Montague fell in love with tough, Costa Rican businessman, Rafe Beaumont. She thought he loved her, too. But that was before her family’s Cinderella Ball tore them apart. Now he’s back and insisting they marry at this year’s ball. If she refuses, he’ll destroy her family. His plan? To wed her and bed her, then leave her, which will prove once and for all that the “magic” of the ball is sheer fantasy.
Fairy Tale Marriage:
At the tender age of seventeen, sweet, innocent Shayne Beaumont attended the Cinderella Ball and fell in love with rough-and-tumble wrangler Chaz McIntyre. But their marriage only lasted one night before her brother, Rafe (the hero from Fairy Tale Wedding, Book #3 in The Cinderella Ball Series) ripped them apart and had their marriage annulled. Now, she’s back—older, wiser, and determined to find love with Chaz again.
Cold, hard-hearted Chaz McIntyre has no choice. If he wants custody of his daughter, he must marry immediately. And though he hates the idea of returning to the Cinderella Ball, it’s the only option if he wants an instant wife. And he finds one, a masked beauty who seduces him into marriage. It’s only after the fact that he discovers it’s the one woman he least wants to marry. His ex-love, Shayne.
What happens when powerful Men of Passion find the woman they want? They’ll do anything to keep her.
Alyssa’s My-Life-Sucks List:
Forced to fly to the European kingdom of Verdonia to bail my mom out… Again.
Discovered I’m a frigging princess! (Should have led with that, but it’s not as cool as you might think. I get it, Meghan. I get it!!)
Told I had to marry this mean prince or else… (They have actual dungeons in Verdonia and I am not a dungeon kind of girl!)
Kidnapped at the altar and on the run with a man who leaves me shaking with desire. (Don’t you just hate when that happens?!?)
Merrick’s Saving-the-Kingdom List:
Coffee. Must have coffee. (Hey, even super heroes need a kickstart in the morning.)
Okay. Much better. Time to kidnap a princess to maintain the political balance of Verdonia. (Yeah, yeah. Honor, country, and duty. Sounds like BS, but I take those things seriously. So, she’s getting kidnapped.)
Keep hands to self. (No, really. KEEP HANDS TO SELF!)
Screw it.
Marry the princess and then I don’t have to keep hands to self. (Problem solved and country saved.)
His Princess is the first book in the contemporary romance series Men of Passion written by Day Leclaire. Fair warning! This story includes blackmail, kidnapping, and a ton of romance, this. If you’re looking for a story featuring bold, passionate men and the women captivated by them, purchase your copy today.
They’ll do anything to keep her.
Miri’s List of Secrets:
- I’m a lousy princess. (I’m not at all sweet, demur, or princessy.)
- I’ve had a thing for Prince Brandt for as long as I can remember. I thought he loved me, too. Right up until I left him hanging the night we planned to do The Deed. (For some reason, guys don’t take that well.)
- I secretly helped kidnap and replace the woman Brandt was marrying for political gain. He thought he’d married Alyssa. Instead, he married me. (Did I mention that I’m not at all sweet, demur, and princessy??)
- Now I must convince him to keep me. (Note to Self: Order Using Your Womanly Wiles 101 from Amazon.)
Brandt’s List to Become King:
- Marry Princess Alyssa. (Don’t think of Miri. You can’t have her. Just bite the bullet and marry Alyssa.)
- Consummate marriage. (Okay, making love to Alyssa was actually amazing. How is that possible?)
- Wait. Alyssa is married to Merrick. (Who the hell did I marry?!?)
- Find my wife. (And never let her go!)
Six sexy Italian-American brothers, ready to win their soul mates.
The Salvatore Brothers will charm, tempt, seduce … or even wed and bed. They’ll do whatever it takes to find their bride.
And when they say whatever it takes, they mean absolutely anything!
You might need a scorecard…!
Grace Barnes is pretending to be ugly so her gorgeous boss, Luc Salvatore, won't fall in love with her—or she with him. She's even pretending to be engaged to the nonexistent Will-William. It's worked for almost a year, which is how long she needs to work in order to fund her own business. Maybe Grace would have succeeded if unwed mother Carina Donati hadn't dumped her son on Luc and taken off for Italy. Not that Tony is Luc's. No, Tony belongs to Luc's youngest brother, Brand, who takes off after Carina.
When the police arrive, Luc tells them he and Grace are engaged and babysitting his nephew for a few hours. A bit of a fib since Tony's parents aren't married and, oops, the baby is really a girl ... Toni, short for Antonia. Who knew, considering the Salvatores haven't fathered a daughter in more generations than Toni has toes? That would have been fine if the police hadn't returned and discovered Toni is a girl, and that it isn't a few hours they'll be babysitting, but a few days, and that Brand and Carina aren't really married. They take Toni and turn her over to CPS. When CPS shows up, Luc charms the woman, telling her that he and Grace are married.
Got all that? They're boss and assistant at work, engaged for the police, married for CPS, and just good friends in front of Luc's irrepressible family.
Then Luc's father, Dom, returns from a nine-month sojourn in Italy. He knows they're not married and assumes Toni is Grace and Luc's. Maybe they’d have skated by that if they hadn't allowed nature to take its course. Or if Grace's father hadn't interrupted them. Did I mention that Grace's father is a minister? No? Well, as you can imagine that didn't go down well. So now Luc insists they marry for real. And Grace would ... if only Luc loved her. There's only way to convince her and that is to say the three little words he's never said to any other woman: I love you.

Q&A with Day Leclaire:
Where did the concept for this series come from?
This series started as a stand-alone book, but an eager reader contacted me and begged for stories featuring Luc’s brothers. How could I refuse?
Can you tell us one interesting detail about this particular book?
The Salvatores have a tradition of only producing sons. That was true in my husband’s family, as well. Then one lone daughter appeared, surprising and delighting everyone. Her birth gave me the idea for this book.
What happens when powerful Men of Passion find the woman they want?
They’ll do anything to keep her.
Juliana’s List of Secrets:
I have lousy taste in men. (Which explains why I let one ruin my career.)
I’m operating under a secret alias. (My career fail was so epic, I’m globally blacklisted!)
I meet Prince Charming at an actual ball (aka Lander Montgomery) and don’t even realize it! I kind of think I love this guy, but I’ll ruin his life if he discovers my true identity. (See #2!)
If I marry Lander, I could cost him his kingdom. (See #1-3!)
Lander’s Save-the-Kingdom List:
Save my kingdom at all costs. (No matter what it entails!)
Taking Juliana for my mistress is a bad political move right now. At the very least, don’t fall in love with her. (Seriously. Don’t. Do. It!!)
Agree to marry a woman who will solve the country’s financial crisis. (Thank God it’s Juliana!)
Don’t tell Juliana marrying her will save my country in case she takes it the wrong way. (Crap! She took it the wrong way!!)
His Mistress is the second book in the contemporary romance series Men of Passion written by Day Leclaire. Fair warning! This story includes secret identities, a marriage of convenience, more than one deception, and a ton of romance. If you’re looking for a story featuring bold, passionate men and the women captivated by them, purchase your copy today!
Just one burning touch connects a Dante with his soul mate.
The Inferno … curse or blessing?
A marriage of convenience … or inconvenience?
They met at the altar. In order to satisfy a contract created by his late father and claim a priceless heirloom fire diamond, Lazz Dante must marry a complete stranger: Ariana Romano. He and his beautiful Italian bride intend to make it a temporary marriage, just long enough to satisfy the terms of the contract before parting ways. It’s a dispassionate and logical solution to an ill-conceived situation.
What they don’t count on is The Inferno striking when they share their first kiss as husband and wife. Nor do they count on being sent off on a secluded, romantic honeymoon where desire rules the day and passion the night. Most of all they don’t count on the fact that the heirloom fire diamond is missing or that it’s Ariana’s father who’s responsible.
Will their marriage end in disaster and disillusionment? Or will The Inferno provide them with the ultimate prize: a forever love?
Note to Readers: Lazz’s Contract Marriage is Book #4 in The Dante Inferno: the Dante Dynasty Series, a contemporary romance series by USA Today bestselling author and eleven-time RITA© (Romance Writers of America) finalist, Day Leclaire.

Q & A with Day Leclaire:
So explain this Inferno business? Right?!? Wouldn’t it make life so much simpler—and so much more complicated—if we could identify our soul mates with a single touch? I loved the concept and it was the springboard for the entire series. I always try to incorporate just a touch of fantasy in all my books. To my delight, readers seem to identify with the idea, so thanks to all of you who fell in love with both the Dantes and The Inferno!
Can you tell us one interesting detail about this particular book? My favorite Star Trek character is Mr. Spock and I have to admit, there might be just a hint of Spock's logic lurking in Lazz. On the other hand, Ariana is pure passion. The idea of combining two such disparate personalities is so much fun. And seeing how Mr. Logical handles The Inferno, something he 100% doesn’t believe in, was even more fun!
Can you tell me what order to read the books? Absolutely! Here you go:
Book #1: Sev’s Blackmailed Bride
Book #2: Marco’s Stolen Wife
Book #3: Nicolò’s Wedding Deception
Book #4: Lazz’s Contract Marriage

“I have a very simple business proposition for you, Mr. Salvatore. I want you to marry me.”

Penelope “Nellie” Wentworth considers him perfect for her plan. She needs a husband—fast—and Dante possesses all the perfect assets. She’ll get what she needs and he’ll regain his lost reputation. It’s practical. Beneficial to them both. Logical.

They’ll do anything to keep her.
Diandra’s Make-Him-Beg Playlist:
- I might’ve/sort’ve abandoned Jonas on the night of our engagement ball. Oops. Still living that down five years later.
- I don’t need a man (aka Jonas) helping me, despite the fact I’m being blackmailed, extorted, and might be responsible for my parents’ death. Okay, actually I do need Jonas.
- I might have made a scandalous bargain to sleep with Jonas in exchange for his help. And I refuse to admit how much I’m going to enjoy holding up my end of the bargain!
- I just need to know he loves me as much as I love him. Is that too much to ask? Apparently.
Jonas’s Runaway-Bride-Payback Playlist:
- Diandra’s back and this time she’s not running away, even if I have to keep her tied to me with the most outrageous bargain I could come up with! Hey, she agreed, didn’t she?
- Okay, she slept with me. Now I’m wondering who seduced whom … and how I can tempt her to the bargaining table again.
- Take care of Diandra’s nasty little extortion problem. (As if I wouldn’t deal with anyone hurting her, bargain or no bargain.)
- I just need to admit that I’ve always loved her.
Six sexy Italian-American brothers, ready to win their soul mates.
The Salvatore Brothers will charm, tempt, seduce … or even wed and bed. They’ll do whatever it takes to find their bride.
And when they say whatever it takes, they mean absolutely anything!
Hanna Tyler is at her wit’s end. Everyone in the picturesque town of Hidden Harbor is intent on finding her a husband. It doesn’t matter whether she actually needs one. Thanks to all her hard work on their behalf, they want to ensure she gets her happily-ever-after.
Hanna’s solution? Attend the Beaumonts’ masquerade Cinderella Ball—where attendees meet and marry all in one night—and choose a temporary husband. Maybe that will resolve her problem.
Matteo Salvatore, who is visiting the Beaumonts on business, has no interest in their Cinderella Ball, let alone meeting and marrying, especially in one night. It’s a ludicrous idea. Or so he thinks right up until he sees a beautiful, feathered swan princess and realizes she’s his soul mate.
What Matteo doesn’t anticipate is that his beautiful bride believes more in practicality than love. Can he strip away her barriers and convince her that true love does exist and can be found in his arms and in his bed?
