I remember the scent of his
cologne and can’t help wondering what if I’d been stronger? If that situation happened
now, and if I knew he was the love of my life, I would fight to be with him, no
question. My heroine in Rose, Exposed struggles
with the same issue.
I started writing interracial
romance because it adds another dimension of conflict, making the happily ever
after an even sweeter reward. I set these books in historical time periods
because racial tensions were even stronger then.
Rose, Exposed
http://www.ellorascave.com/rose-exposed.html
When Leroy gets promoted at
the new oyster plant on Pearl Point, all he cares about is working hard. Then
he meets flirtatious artist Rose, and soon nothing matters except getting her
to the altar and into bed. He’s healing from a recent loss, and isn’t about to
let her go too.
Because Rose’s strict,
social-climbing father doesn’t approve of dark-skinned Leroy, they court in
secret. Although Leroy’s raw passion can convince her to do almost anything,
why can’t he understand she needs freedom, not marriage? However, in the 1930s,
freedom for any woman is hard to come by.
In Leroy’s arms, Rose finds
unimaginable sensual pleasures, but she’s torn by desire and duty. Her father
wants her to be white; Leroy wants her to embrace her black heritage. Playing
both sides of the fence leaves this young biracial beauty exposed in more ways
than one.
Also check out the prequel, Plucking the Pearl.
