Welcome back. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account.
I'm about three quarters of the way through my novel. I would like to run it by some POC beta readers.
It's an open door enemies to lovers romance set in 1873 England. For reasons not explained until later in the story, the Duke blackmails the FMC into marriage.
There is NO dubcon or anything like that. There is a side character who harasses the FMC and two side characters are shot and die. Nothing graphic.
Racism is hardly addressed - my goal is to write a compelling story not necessarily one entirely historically accurate. Think Bridgerton meets a Laura Kinsale novel (if only it were so good! I have lofty dreams).
