Surprise New Release Alert!
Mine Before Dawn by Raegan Salander
I have a little something new for you.
This story is quite different from my usual fare. There are no billionaires, no werewolves, and no modern settings. Instead, I've travelled back to a Yorkshire mining town in the 1960s to tell a story about love, prejudice, courage, and finding home in the most unexpected of places. It was published on Patreon and I have now edited it and brought it to Amazon.
I hope you'll take a chance on Asha and James and fall in love with them as much as I did.
BLURB
A dark-skinned stranger arrives in town.
And she is not alone. In her arms is a four-year-old boy.
In 1960s Wakefield, Asha is everything the town fears—foreign, alone, and carrying a blurred past. Doors close. Words cut deep. In a place where the unknown is something to fear and repel, an unmarried woman with a child has prey written all over her.
James has never looked beyond the life he's always known—until her.
What begins as ribald comments in the shadows turns into something he can't let go of.
Can something born in darkness survive the light of dawn?
