From Little Stack
BEVERLY JENKINS. The romance genre has long struggled to diversify its output, with progress often being incremental. For many years, Beverly Jenkins was an exception, leading the charge for inclusive romance and writing acclaimed historical, contemporary, suspense, and inspirational romance novels that put Black protagonists in the spotlight.
Check out the Women Who Dare series, focused on life in the aftermath of the Civil War, and the Destiny trilogy, which includes strong independent women (and pirates!), for examples of Jenkins at her best.
A historical romance from NAACP nominee and bestselling author Beverly Jenkins...
Hester and Galen's favorite Mud Pie Recipe included!
As a child Hester Wyatt escaped slavery, but now the dark skinned beauty is a dedicated member of Michigan's Underground railroad, offering other runaways a chance at the freedom she has learned to love. When one of her fellow conductors brings her an injured man to hide, Hester doesn't hesitate…even after she is told about the price on his head.
The man in question is the great conductor known as the "Black Daniel" a vital member of the North's Underground railroad network. But Hester finds him so rude and arrogant, she begins to question her vow to hide him.
When the injured and beaten Galen Vachon, aka, the Black Daniel awakens in Hester's cellar, he is unprepared for the feisty young conductor providing his care. As a member of one of the wealthiest free Black families in New Orleans, Galen has turned his back on the lavish living he is accustomed to in order to provide freedom to those enslaved in the South.
However, as he heals he cannot turn his back on Hester Wyatt. Her innocence fills him like a breath of fresh air and he is determined to make this gorgeous and intelligent woman his own…
Yet…there are traitors to be discovered, slave catchers to be evaded and Hester's heart to be won before she and Galen can find the freedom that only true love can bring.
