Today's guest is author Juliet Chastain talking about her new release For the Love of a Gypsy Lass.
Greetings, fellow romance readers and
writers. I am in the middle of writing a
series of short stories called Gypsy
Lovers. One has been released and more to come each month. These are sexy 99-cent
novellas, set in the Regency period about Gypsies and the English men and women
love them.
I wanted
to do some stories in which totally inappropriate, culturally, and socially mismatched
men and women find love together. I've always been fascinated by the Romani
people, Gypsies, who for a thousand years traveled around Europe and were very
separate from, and often despised by and even persecuted by, the people among
whom they lived.
In the first book, A Proper Lady's Gypsy Lover, we have Lady Lucy-Ann who is a
hellion. She does not want to be a proper lady although her relatives require
it. What she wants is to roam free and swim and fish and ride astride. And most
of all she wants to be with her childhood sweetheart the handsome Gypsy,
Liberty Wood. Liberty is the caring kind of man who will do anything for the
people he loves, but he's also a gambler, a horse trader, and an adventurer. Of
course, he adores Lucy-Ann but is a totally unsuitable suitor.
In the second book, For Love of a Gypsy Lass, we have a bored-out-of-his-skull English
nobleman, Lord Harry Beresford who has simply had it with his luxurious and
dull existence and the noble and dull ladies he is supposed to court. He falls
hard for an itinerant Gypsy singer called Talaitha Grey. He assumes she can be
easily seduced by his wealth and prestige, but to his surprise she's not the
least bit interested in any of that—although she is, against her will,
attracted to the man behind it all.
Somehow these characters must find their
way to happily ever after—and they do so in unexpected ways.
A Proper
Lady's Gypsy Lover is available at Breathless

ReplyDeleteI have yet to read anything of yours Juliet but the excerpts have me all a tingle. I love the classic romance feel, with the twist of the gypsies stories. I can't wait to delve in.
