Juneteenth: Two Love Stories

By: Kianna Alexander

Narrated by: Shayna Small, Chanté McCormick

Two woman-centered historical romances, set in the very time of Texas’ Juneteenth origins!

Drifting to You:

During the sultry Carolina summer of 1875, baker Rosaline Rhodes boards a Juneteenth cruise down the Cape Fear River. The wealthy free-born Goodman family is sponsoring the cruise, as the maiden voyage of their newly built ship. Rosaline is there to serve her famous cinnamon spice cake to the well-heeled passengers. Her mind is on work, until she runs into the man who captured her attention months ago. Shipbuilder Will Pruett is also boarding the ship, for pleasure. Having built the vessel, he's been invited on board by the Goodman family to enjoy the cruise. Little does he know that the close quarters of the ship will provide the catalyst for a life-changing decision. They've denied their mutual attraction for a long time, but now the river won't be the only thing ebbing and flowing.

A Radiant Soul:

A woman's work is never done...especially when she is fighting for those who will come after her. In 1881, Sarah Webster returns home to Fayetteville, NC, for her mother's milestone birthday. Her suffrage work is unknown to her family. Carpenter Owen Markham is intrigued by Sarah, and her father is playing matchmaker. When Owen discovers Sarah's suffrage work, he's not sure a love match can be made.

Raised in the Carolina pines, beloved romance author Kianna Alexander has always been something of a dreamer. She is a mother of two, a dabbler in crafts, an occasional survival horror-gamer, and an all-around explorer. She lives in her home state of North Carolina with her children, her partner, the world’s most high-maintenance cat, and a precocious pup.
