My first historical romance novel is Fair Weather Enemies.
The Hancocks and Ashfords have fought a long-standing feud between their families long before Miss Jane Hancock couldn't stand the sight of Adam Ashford. But after both families fall on hard times and an unscrupulous creditor forces Jane and Adam to sign a devil's bargain, they'll finally understand the true meaning of keeping your enemies close at hand.
The terms of this bargain? Locate a lost treasure shrouded in deception and mystery.
The catch? Only one can claim it to win...the loser is left to ruin.
As Jane and Adam embark on a trek throughout England, they plan to hate their adversary, no matter how attractive, generous, and kind they are.
Sometimes, plans change...
For Jane and Adam…

Romance Historical [Entangled: Scandalous, On Sale: January 21, 2020, e-Book, ISBN: 9781682815311 / eISBN: 9781682815311]
After self-publishing science fiction novels over a period of years, I made the truly odd move into historical romance. Although romance is a strong thread in nearly all my works, I came to straight-up, nothing-but-romance only after turning fifty. Since then, I am plagued by the question, “What took me so long?” My awakening began rather innocuously when I casually watched the 2015 version of Poldark. Before I knew, I was falling headlong into the abyss of historical romance and read fifteen such novels over a three-month span. However, no number could sufficiently scratch my itch for more, so I did what any writer would do and began constructing stories of my own. In April of 2019, I received my first contract with Entangled Publishing.
I like having a window into a different time and place. I prefer books that are factually accurate not just stories that could be set just about anywhere or anytime. It is interesting to see how society functioned differently and how the rules of society differed in different time periods. (Patricia Barraclough 1:46am February 12, 2020)

i love that they manage to make it through life without elecrtonics (Vickie Couturier 10:15am February 12, 2020)
Favorite thing about historical romances are the strong, intelligent, independent heroines who defy the restrictions society and family place on them. They pursue their dreams and find their soul mate who supports them physically and emotionally. (Laurie Gommermann 10:17am February 12, 2020)

They're a great way to escape today's way of life! (Tracy Urschler 9:08pm February 12, 2020)
In historical romances the men seem more heroic and the women more determined to be independent. And different ways of life are interesting. (Melanie Rosen 12:26pm February 13, 2020)
Thanks for helpful article :) (Wendy Veros 6:43am February 13, 2020)
Historical Romance takes me back to a time when women had more obligations and customs. The men had a lot of freedom. And I like learning how they get along with their family and friends. (Alyson Widen 12:52pm February 14, 2020)
I enjoy taking a journey into a time period completely different from the present. (Anna Speed 5:01pm February 14, 2020)
