I spoke with Raya Morris Edwards, the dark cowboy/country romance author of the Sovereign Mountain series, which includes books Sovereign, Westin, Deacon, and the soon-to-be-released Jensen and Jack. We discuss Raya’s “Yellowstone meets 50 Shades of Grey” universe, set in fictionalized rural Montana, where timeless stories and wild landscapes collide with high-spice, age-gap, and BDSM-forward love stories, and themes of trauma and deprivation give way to storytelling about connection, autonomy, and self-discovery. We’ll also explore how Raya transforms a place into a character, a flawed main male character into the ultimate anti-hero, and all while building a life for her main female characters that go from harsh and hopeless to soft and sensual, and how these flawed yet beautiful relationships are explored through intimacy, communication, and kink as healing. Make sure to stay with us to the end, as Raya will share a beautiful love letter to her readers.
