Interracial Romances—can be the steamiest romances!

by Rita Hestand

I have found as a historical western romance writer that all of my interracial romances are quite steamy and naturally so.  Maybe because of the desperate times, and the knowledge that there might not be a tomorrow.Or maybe just because love is more romantic in the old west. Love Rules just came out in September and is doing well.  What makes them different, I’m not sure.  But every western I have written is classically steamy.

Jesse Coleman, a confederate officer is asked to bring the “Black Widow” spy into custody. Jesse’s already gotten an elaborate view of Maggie in the spyglass, without her clothes. She is such a young beauty, he can’t imagine why his superior officer would chose him to bring her in.  Two reasons really, he’s the best looking officer they have and he knows how to keep his mouth shut.

From the moment they meet, Maggie and Jesse are attracted.  Even knowing the relationship is doomed, Jesse can’t keep his hands off of her. Lust or love, he isn’t sure, but he knows he has to have Maggie. But even after makingglorious  love, Maggie returns to the Federals to inform them. Jesse is faced with her betrayal and his own duty to take her in.

Maggie is sentenced to hang, but circumstances forces the commanding officer to prolong it.

When the war’s over, Maggie’s problems aren’t. She’s in more danger now. The prison guards have sworn to find her and kill her. According to them she has to be punished for all the deaths she caused.

Maggie has one recourse, find Jesse and ask for his protection.

Knowing she fell too hard too fast for Jesse the first time, she’s determined not to make the same mistake. And even though Jesse swears he’ll defend her, he isn’t sure he can live with her new Love Rules.

Can Jesse and Maggie find true happiness through all the dangers they face, and even if they can, will the love rules destroy the love they once shared?

Other steamy interracial books are:  Beyond the Dream Catcher, and Always Remember.  I have a new trailer for Love Rules, you can watch it here:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t12K9YOZG2c

When Rose Anderson becomes pregnant and doesn’t know who the father is, she suspects the black slave she loves might be the father. But do they have a chance? to make a life in a world torn with war? You won’t soon forget the Anderson sisters. Find this book at: http://www.secretcravingspublishing.com

Coming Soon! Love Rules by Rita Hestand

Everyone likes to talk about their latest book.  Love Rules is no exception for me. It is another multicultural historical western romance.  But what makes me, want to write a multicultural historical western.  

I wanted Jesse Coleman to love someone that was forbidden. I wanted him to be a rebel. I wanted him to fall for her as soon as he saw her. 

And they made love like no other two people on this earth. They knew each other, and yet…they didn't. 

But forbidden love isn't something that is easily overcome. And it was forbidden because of many factors.  One, she was a black woman, a spy for the north and he barely knew her. Even so, why couldn't they be together. Because he was sent to bring her in by his commanding officer, and if he didn't, she might cost more Confederate lives. Would his duty outweigh his love?

The torrid romance between Jesse and Maggie literally burn the pages. No holes bared, Jesse and Maggie were in love at first sight. But love at first sight can be heart rendering when the fated couple are not suppose to be together ever again.

Thus the story really begins. During the war they had been young, innocent and hopelessly in love. But what happens when they matured, and the war was over? 

When Maggie is released from prison, she's on the run for her life. The guards swear they'll find her and kill her. She was the Black Widow for the Federals, a notorious spy, and they wanted vengeance. She has only one hope, Jesse Coleman. After all, he owes her, in more ways than one.  

Jesse's more than happy to see Maggie again, until he realizes that Maggie has a set of Love Rules that Jesse might not be able to comply with. Nevertheless, she needs his protection and he certainly owes her since she had his baby.

But Jesse had more than his share of problems. He still insists he loves Maggie and wants to marry her, and make them a family if he can keep her alive long enough. Their love is tested in every way, as Jesse protects her from killers, and fights for the right to love her in a land that doesn't forget the war easily. Will their love be strong enough to withstand all the trials and tribulations?  

Coming soon from Decadent Publishing, you won't want to miss this sizzling romance that burns it's way into your heart. You'll never forget the heroic Jesse Coleman, nor the sensual Maggie, The Black Widow. It will burn a fire in your heart. Don't miss this exciting, hot, romance!

Show & Tell Saturday with Rita Hestand!

In the editing process right now, my second book coming out with Decadent Publishing is a civil war story. Maggie is the "Black Widow" spy for the north. She lives in northern Arkansas during the brunt of the war and plays a vital key to the victories there by the Union Army.  But Maggie has a story of her own, and it has little to do with the war. She's half mullato and half white, a runaway slave from Louisiana that seeks shelter in the mountains of Arkansas.  At sixteen she escaped the horrid plantation owner and fled for higher ground. But there is a price to pay for that freedom, and Maggie becomes one of the most famous in the Union Army. Everyone knows about the venom of the "Black Widow". At eighteen she meets Jesse Coleman, a confederate spy who has been ordered to bring her in.

Neither of these two unsuspecting people planned on falling in love so quickly, or so hard. But it happened. Jesse found Maggie irresistible and despite his orders, he couldn't stop the flames of desire. Even after making love to her thoroughly, he knew he had to bring her in, especially when she escaped to warn the Union Army. When she returned, Jesse took her captive. He knew she'd never forgive him, and it broke his heart to turn her in, because he was sure he loved her.

When the war was over, Maggie's troubles weren't. The prison guards had sworn to find her and kill her.  Making good on  their promise, Maggie left the fort, her daughter with her, and headed for Jesse's place in Texas.  Jesse helped get her in this mess, he would help get her out. He owed her. And she was collecting. Even though her heart melted from his touches, she had a new set of rules for Jesse and he would respect them. 

But could Maggie live with her own Love Rules?

This magnificent couple comes together to fight for survival, with a burning desire and a love that cannot be denied. 

 

I hope you will stop by and check this one out. It's coming soon from Decadent Publishing.

What's next, a spring off of Beyond the Dream Catcher, Lee's story, which is still in the works. A new contemporary series and many more books.  I hope you'll stop off at Decadent often and check my books out as I'll be writing up a storm.
