Black Victorians: A Shared Destiny (Book 2)

Georgia is a mixed-race, financially independent businesswoman and member of the British gentry. Her unique dynamics within Victorian London’s polite society are fraught with plenty of challenges. When an abandoned baby is dumped on her by ex-rake and scandalously handsome local curate Daniel, her position in society is suddenly at risk.

How can a single mixed-race woman take on a baby without raising questions from scurrilous gossips?

Despite her doubts about motherhood, soon Baby Nicholas captures Georgina’s heart. She tries to forget the mystery surrounding his mother’s disappearance. Surprisingly, Daniel offers her a marriage of convenience, but how can she accept when he has his own motives?

Her choices are slim: lose her independence or lose Baby Nicholas. As society watches and judgement looms, she must decide. Will she follow her conscience or her heart?

'A Shared Destiny' is the 2nd book in the Black Victorians series. Check out Black Victorians: A Shared History here https://consciousdreamsbookshop.com/products/a-shared-history-black-victorians

About the Author

S. N. Clayton was born and brought up in North London. She is a business educator, author, speaker, and avid reader of many genres. S. N. Clayton has been a big fan of romantic sagas and historical romance fiction since her late mother unknowingly introduced her to Mills & Boon in her early teens by not reading her library books swiftly enough.

In terms of being able to bridge the gap and showcase the multicultural aspect of Britain from an authentic historical perspective, S. N. Clayton’s first story in this trilogy A Shared History, was quite an exciting and challenging project to take on, especially in terms of research.

S. N. Clayton is due to publish the second book in the series, A Shared Destiny in Autumn 2025, which continues the story in Victorian London. The third book A Shared Promise, takes readers on an adventure across the seas to 1800s New York and the Black West of America. These remaining books in the series have proven just as interesting a challenge to research. S. N. Clayton has included a recommended book list to reflect the depth of meticulous historical research required. S. N. Clayton lives in Greater London. She currently works as a learning specialist in the commercial area of learning and development and writes part-time.
