Christian Historical Romance Fiction Novels & Stories

For the first time in what felt like forever, the knot in my chest loosened completely. I pulled down a thick historical romance with a brooding duke on the cover, it was exactly the kind Mirabel would tease me about, and sank into one of the leather armchairs. The cushions hugged me perfectly. I kicked off my slippers, tucked my legs beneath me, and opened the book to the first page. The words pulled me in immediately. Rich descriptions, sharp dialogue, the slow burn of forbidden attraction between the heroine and the man who was supposed to be off-limits.

"Bitten By A Loveless Noble Vampire" (Is a wonderful dark medieval romance with vampires and other mythological stuff. I love how gory and dark it is with the utmost sexual tension between the duo.) "Criminally God" (Is a Male Lead book with a system, demons and a vampire main character. I was inspired by Eoin Colfer and fused his style with my own and in fantasy genre.)

I was pretty good at it and at the urging of my then girlfriend Julie, had submitted a few to a story site named Erotic escapes where under the pen name hotforteacher I'd gotten some pretty good reviews. Most of my stories were about older women with guys my age and Miss Ross had been the inspiration for many of them. Most of my female leads had the same long dark hair, big brown eyes and perfect full lips as my favorite English teacher. Yes Miss Ross had been the nasty little cougar in my mind and in print many times over the last few months. Shit, I'd even joined her writing discussion group because it met every other Sunday at her house.

But despite my efforts to remain composed, my heart continued to race, my breaths coming in shallow gasps. As I moved to his chest, I couldn't help but notice the defined contours of his pecs, the ripple of muscles beneath his smooth skin. My hands trembled slightly as I traced the lines of his chest, feeling the heat radiating from his body. It was an intimate gesture, one that filled me with a sense of both vulnerability and desire.

*** ~CLAIRE~ *** There was no way in hell I would let Christian know about my fantasies. No way I would tell him what went on in my imagination. "I read a lot of books." I giggled as he pulled me towards the black, velvet couch in the corner. He lowered into it and gave me a flirty look. "Is that so? Books?" "Romance novels." I shrugged. I tried not to fidget as his gaze roamed my body. I was standing before him, clad in just my lace panties.

I shot back, my pride kicking in. “Well…” He stepped closer to me, and before I knew it, we were just inches apart. I instinctively took a step back. “Don’t do things that will force me to tell you what to do,” he whispered, his breath warm against my face. My legs trembled slightly as he moved even closer. Our faces were mere inches apart now, his proximity overwhelming my senses. The heat from his body seemed to wrap around me, making my pulse race. His scent—clean and sharp—mixed with the tension in the air. My heart pounded in my chest as his piercing gaze locked with mine, and for a moment, I found myself completely disarmed.

He never shielded me from the heartache in the pages of those books but used them as a tool to teach me about life, history, hopes, and dreams. It wasn’t until my teen years that I discovered my love of romance. What began by dipping my toes into the historical greats affectionately termed ‘bodice rippers’ took on a different tone when I was a senior in high school. I discovered the world of erotic romance. I’d always been taught that literature was a gateway for the imagination so I never dreamed that some people would frown on the romance genre as lower quality literature.
