Beyond Desire
by Emma Holly

Together for the first time in a special single trade volume—two complete erotic historical romance novels from Emma Holly, the USA Today bestselling author hailed by Susan Johnson as "one of the best writers of erotic fiction around."

In Beyond Innocence a naive young woman in Victorian London goes from nubile bride to gorgeous pawn in a devious scheme—one with a passionately unexpected twist-between two brothers.

And in Beyond Seduction a scandalously clever Victorian beauty agrees to pose nude for a notorious artist in order to discourage her overly-respectable suitor from a proposal of marriage.



Emma Holly's Bio

Okay. About me. Born in New Jersey. Grew up in Baltimore. Moved to the midwest when the city I was living in started to get too scruffy. Always wanted to be a writer. (Never mind my pre-pubescent fantasies about being Batman's girlfriend. I didn't imagine I'd get paid for that.)

I wrote for a long time before I sold. Not too long, I guess, since I didn't give up, but long enough to appreciate how amazing it is that so many of my dreams are coming true. (Yes, you too can become a published author!)

My first sale was MENAGE to Black Lace. I wrote five erotic novels for them, a novella for Secrets, then sold my first historical romance to Berkley Jove. Until I worked on BEYOND INNOCENCE, I had no idea research could be enjoyable. I mean, why don't they give the fun history books with the pretty pictures to kids in high school? I could be so much less ignorant if I'd had them.

But no matter. Being ignorant is a good excuse to by more books. And learning is a pleasure, especially when you can turn it into a story someone will love.
