An interracial romance set against the lingering realities of racial prejudice, Ebony Rising follows two lovers whose relationship is tested by the social barriers surrounding them. What begins as an undeniable physical attraction develops into a deep emotional bond, forcing them to confront the hostility, suspicion and expectations of the world around them. Blending explicit erotic scenes with melodramatic romance, the novel explores themes of forbidden love, desire and discrimination. Marketed as an adults-only paperback, Ebony Rising is a provocative example of 1970s pulp fiction that combines social issues with the era's sensational romantic storytelling.
