Author Eliza Ankum has done what few writers of Historical Fiction can – brought her star-crossed lovers from her best-selling historical romances, Ruby Sanders and Jared Anderson into the 21st Century with a well-crafted Contemporary Women’s fiction novel

Ruby and Jared jumps ahead decades from the 19th Century to the 21st Century where interracial love of all colors is possible.

But when your heart is consumed with grief, love is difficult.

Ruby Sanders Williams is an out of work financial journalist who thinks that by scoring the most coveted story of the century – Jared Anderson’s defection from Crawford & Anderson Mining – she can redeem herself and get her job back after a very public and disastrous breakup with her boyfriend, Derek, who also happens to be her boss.

So, Ruby is determined to find out why Jared Anderson, a multi-billionaire, who had been married to one of the most celebrated beauties in the world, walked away from the company built by his great, great, great grandfather, Jared Anderson, on land stolen from Ruby’s family.

A man consumed with grief after the loss of his beloved wife, Arabella, Jared Anderson is finally on the road to recovery after suffering the bitterest of betrayals by two people he thought he knew and trusted.

Living a lonely and guarded life on his thirty acre ranch, with his son, Lucas, can Jared learn to love and trust again? Will he allow the beautiful dark-skinned, Ruby, into his inner circle? And what, after all these years, does he have planned for the man who betrayed him and caused him to walk away from his family’s business?

Will two star crossed lovers, resurrected from a time so long ago, finally have their happily ever after?
Ruby and Jared gives us hope that a true an everlasting love can survive a multitude of hurts, betrayals, and even death.
