Welcome to Undercurrents of Romance with host Tracey Devlyn!
In Episode 3 of Undercurrents of Romance, Tracey Devlyn dives into a captivating conversation with author Poppy Kuroki about her debut time-traveling historical romantasy, GATE TO KAGOSHIMA, and what it’s like living in Japan, especially during the summer.
When a young Scottish woman is whisked away to the last Samurai era, she finds herself tangled in an epic tale of ancestral secrets and a love that defies time. Torn between two worlds, she must choose: return to the 21st century or stay in the past that holds her heart.
With heart-pounding romance, rich history, epic battles, and swoon-worthy Samurais, GATE TO KAGOSHIMA is a story you won’t want to miss.
"Serious Outlander vibes with a fresh new twist." ~ Pim Wangtechawat, author of The Moon Represents My Heart
