The
Eversley Siblings Series
The Ton can be very unforgiving to young ladies - even if an indiscretion is forced upon them. Lady Rebecca Eversley and Lord James Eversley are about to find this out the hard way.
Saved by a Rake
When Lady Rebecca Eversley is left ravished by the Earl of Newthorpe and facing ruination, she has the choice to point her pretty little nose in the air and face the gossips of the Ton or scurry off to the country to live out her life as an old maid. When she meets Lord Daniel Ramsey, a notorious rake, she decides on the former course of action.
Daniel has been given an ultimatum, marry before his father dies or lose the majority of his inheritance money. Rebecca seems the perfect candidate, especially once rumours about her start to circulate in the drawing rooms of Mayfair.
When Newthorpe is found dead on the morning of their wedding, the people they care about find themselves suspects in the case. Who murdered Newthorpe and can Rebecca ever get over what he did to her?

Restoring Lady Anna
When Lord James Eversley is accused of a murder he did not commit, he dresses up as his new brother-in-law’s footman and hitches a ride in their carriage out of town. When it seems they are no longer being followed he begins to relax until a minor accident causes them to stop at a shabby looking inn. As his “master” and his sister sip tea in the scruffy parlour, James comes face to face with Lady Anna, the woman who left him in the dead of night five years before and a familiar looking child.
Lady Anna has accepted her life as Mrs Johnstone, mother of four-year-old Viola, “wife” of Peter, the mentally ill former footman and land lady of a shabby inn on the Great North Road. Her plans for a love match with the handsome Lord Eversley were cruelly snatched away from her five years before. Her ruination means there is no opportunity to return to her family or the ton. When James turns up, dressed as a footman and demanding answers, Anna must decide whether to tell the truth.
James never stopped loving Anna and now he must learn what happened that fateful night that Anna left him heartbroken. With the truth out in the open, he must convince the love of his life to take a chance on him. He wants to marry her and restore her reputation among the aristocracy. But in Regency England reputations are easily lost and difficult to regain. Can Anna trust James enough to do what is right for Peter, despite his actions, her child and most importantly himself? Can James convince Anna to seek the help that Peter needs and return to the ton?

A
Desperate WagerNathaniel
Spencer, the Fourteenth Duke of Kirkbourne wakes up with an almighty
hangover and a wager note in his pocket stating he has agreed to
marry the Earl of Brackingham’s daughter. And he can’t even
remember ever meeting the chit. Clearly his drinking has got out of
hand.
Lady Sarah Steele is horrified when her father announces that the Duke of Kirkbourne has agreed to marry her and even more horrified that her father wagered her hand in a game of cards. Not only that, but the earl has not told the duke of the riding accident that left Sarah paralysed when she was sixteen. But he’s dying and she knows he wants to see her settled before the inevitable happens.
Despite Nate’s drinking and Sarah’s possible complicity in the earl’s plan, they agree to marry. But when accidents start to happen, the newly-weds must deal not only with the fact they are practically strangers, but they must find out who is trying to kill one or both of them. Nate’s drink problem and Sarah’s disability are only a couple of the hurdles they must face to find lasting love.

Lady
Harriet’s Unusual Reward
Lady Harriet Weatherby is at the end of her tether. Her brother, the Earl of Oldbeck is running amok. That would not normally be her problem, but the ton consider the earl to be an imbecile. Since her father died, he has had no one to guide him and he will no longer listen to Harriet. And now that Mary the kitchen maid is carrying his child, Harriet sees no other option but to marry. And there is only one man for the job.
Two years ago Lord Stephen Charville, a widower and second son of a duke, promised Lady Harriet that he would do her any favour she asked him as thanks for saving his daughters life when she nearly drowned. He did not expect her to turn up at his townhouse and ask him to marry her and set an example to her brother. There is nothing wrong with Lady Harriet and he’s not averse to helping out her brother, he just has no inclinations to marry again. And for the record, he’s no tragic hero, pining away for his lost love. The problem is that Harriet begins to burrow her way into his affections.
When Lord Stephen offers without marriage to help the earl to learn the ways of the world, Harriet is still determined that the only way to do the job properly is for them to marry but she agrees to do it Lord Stephen’s way. No one is more surprised than Harriet when she begins to have feelings for the dissolute second son or when he begins to ignite passions in her she’d never dreamed existed, all the while trying to keep her errant brother out of trouble and way from scandal.

About Em Taylor:
Em Taylor comes from the
Central Belt of Scotland and now lives in a small village on the west
coast just a few hundred yards from a medieval castle. She loves
knitting, writing, arguing about politics and driving. A
self-confessed geek, Em loves crewing film and comic conventions in
her spare time.
As a young child Em was told that she should stop letting her imagination run away with her as an imagination wasn’t useful to anyone. She may not have an island like George from the Famous Five or have ever been as cool as the Twins at Sweet Valley High but she loves bringing her own worlds to fruition and using that imagination. One day she hopes that her own Mr Darcy, Cowboy or Highlander will sweep her off her feet and drag her off into the sunset.

Interview With Em Taylor:
- Can you tell us a little about your books?
My books are hot and
full of sex. Or if you read some of my Amazon reviews, they’re full
of dirty sex and what kind of mind would write such books. To be
fair, I don’t think that reviewer read the book. I write about
Regency lords and ladies, Cotemporary heroes and heroines, Sexy and
funny cowboys who find love in Scotland and Alien Vampires. Not all
in the one book I hasten to add. I love all different genres and
write in four of them. My heroes are always sexy, with a sensitive
side.
- How did you choose the genre you write in?
I always loved
romance. I grew up reading Sweet Dreams and Sweet Valley High and in
the days before a librarian would monitor what books you took out
from the library, I took out Silhouette romances which were terribly
racy. They had all sorts of breast heaving and hand wandering up bare
thighs action going on. I started writing Star Trek Voyager Fan
Fiction and then started to write stories in my own worlds.
- Where do you get your ideas?
All over the place.
Often from conversations or the spark of an idea. My Forsaken Blood
series came from a discussion about how much I loved Lynsay Sands
take on vampires and how I would love to do a different take on them.
It would obviously have to be different so I didn’t plagiarise her
but the same idea of taking a mythological creature and having a
completely different backstory for them.
- Do you have a favorite character to write about?
They change depending
on what I’m writing. I love my cowboys and cowgirls in Scotland
partly because I like making people laugh and those stories do. But I
think Lachlan will always be dearest to my heart. It took three
attempts to get Discovered (the first book in the Forsaken Blood
series) right.
- Do you have a favorite spot to write?
Depends on how I
feel. I usually use my bed. If I feel a bit under the weather I like
curling up on the couch. I also love heading to Dundonald Castle
tearoom. Dundonald castle even features in An American Cowboy in
Scotland.
- Do you listen to music while you write?
Hardly ever. I used
to listen to music all the time but then I got Migraine Associated
Vertigo and for over a year I was very sensitive to noise. I can
still get that way. Tonight in the car they had a lot of modern
dancey stuff on and it was giving me a headache. If I do it’s
usually a modern country station (Brad Paisley – hubba hubba), pop
or someone like Donnie Munro whose voice I find soothing.
- What is a usual writing day like for you? How is it structured?
I don’t have any
structure to my day. I work odd shifts and I never know what I’ll
be doing so I don’t plan. I just write as and when I can. As we say
in Scotland - I just hing (hang) as I grow
- If you were a super-hero, what powers would you have?
The power to clean my
house in a flash. And the power to cure illnesses. They sound a bit
naff but I really don’t want to see any politician in his or her
undies so x-ray vision is out.
- What are writing projects are you currently working on?
Oh dear, I have so
many at the moment. I’m finishing off the second Kilrigh Heat book
– Highland Haven due out on the 17th
of March. I have the second Forsaken Blood series book – Revealed
to write. I have a paranormal school rom com to write. This is a
story from the point of view of the teachers. Another couple of rom
coms. A couple of regencies in the works. It’s all go.
