Greetings, fellow romance
readers and writers from Juliet Chastain
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 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.
For Love of a Gypsy Lass releases May 24 and can be pre ordered
