Prophecies and Promises by Alana Lorens
Genre historical romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): G
Tamsyn McKiernan thinks her dreams have come true. She’s engaged to a dashing Key West bachelor and finally in her widowed father’s good graces. But in her heart, she knows something’s wrong. She loves the ocean and the quiet pleasures of nature—so what does the aristocratic life she’ll lead truly hold for her?
Mercenary captain Drake Ashton is neck deep in preparations for the Spanish-American War, running guns and other supplies to Cuban natives who want out from under their Spanish masters. He and his brother Freddie risk their lives daily, focused on saving his friends on the island. Nothing else matters but his mission.
A chance encounter with a spiny sea urchin brings the two together, and neither of their lives will ever be the same again.
Why did you write this book?
I’ve always loved Key West and the Florida Keys, so I found a point in time when Key West was the center of a turning point in history and set the story then. Because of the strictures of the time period, the twists and turns of the love story naturally followed.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Science fiction, usually. But I grew up reading gothic romance.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
Probably Lessa from the Pern books by Anne McCaffrey
What are you working on at the moment?
The fourth book in the Pittsburgh Lady Lawyers series, about a young woman beginning her career at a Pittsburgh Legal Aid clinic.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
Nothing is scheduled at this time, but I hope to have something early next year,
