The campfire’s crackling this week as we chat about cold, snow, and ice—but it’s always warm here around the fire, and I’m always glad you’re with me. Pull up a camp chair and meet a new‑to‑me author who brings the spirit of campfire storytelling to a rich historical setting. Jessie's Passion by Ida Flowers Historical Romance South Carolina, 1765. A group of wealthy young friends. A colony terrorized by outlaws. A young woman obsessed. Jessie Maclaine, the youngest of the group of friends from the Carolina Lowcountry, is a spoiled, passionate girl determined to have her own way and marry Robbie Stewart, who still sees her as the tag-along pest of their childhood. Her every waking thought is focused on making him to see her as a woman, and in her dreams, he belongs to her. Robbie Stewart is the eldest of the group and the heir to Brianag, his uncle’s plantation. He is far too occupied with tormenting the agents responsible for enforcing the Stamp Act and helping his deceased father’s family defend themselves against outlaws in the Backcountry to pay any attention to Jessie—except when he finds an opportunity to tease her. As unrest builds in the colonies and the outlaws continue their rampages in the mountains, Jessie learns that the world is bigger than youthful desire and that choices made impetuously are followed inevitably by consequences—some of which are irreparable.

She wrote dozens of stories over the years, in spiral notebooks and on the backs of discarded printed copy paper and on a word processor. She got distracted by motherhood and working for a living and hurricane survival but being a writer was never eradicated from her dreams. Now an empty-nester, Ida spends as much time as possible traveling and researching the history of women in Early America while working on the series of novels set in Colonial South Carolina. idaflowersfiction.wordpress.com/about-ida-flowers/
