Adam and Eva
b'
Sandra Kitt\'s\\xa0Adam and Eva\\xa0was the first Harlequin romance written by an African American author about a African American couple, in 1984.\\xa0 It\'s not the first black category romance - as far as we know that\'s Rosalind Welles\'\\xa0Entwined Destinies, which was published by Dell Candlelight in 1980.\\xa0 There\'s also a\\xa0rumor\\xa0that Anne Weale\'s\\xa0Blue Days at Sea\\xa0is a "stealth black romance" - evidently the protagonists\' race just isn\'t mentioned but the people on the cover are even whiter than usual.\\xa0 (And they are usually\\xa0really white.)
