All men lusted for the firebrand they called Flaming Tina, famed for the molten fire in her hair -- and for the hot temper running fierce through the noble Scots blood of Lady Valentina Kennedy. Forced into marriage with the fearsome warrior of an enemy clan, TIna vowed to use her wild beauty to gain master over Lord Ramsay Douglas.
Women hungered to be pressed against his steely chest...and men feared the brawn and rage of Black Ram Douglas. Ram swore he would make the defiant Valentina a dutiful wife after he had broken her hellion's pride. But the girl he set out to tame became the woman who taught him what it meant to be ardently, maddeningly, gloriously...
Tempted.
I write lush and lusty historical romances in both hardcover and paperback. My authentic medievals, set in England, Ireland and Scotland have received critical acclaim and garnered many awards.
My great passion is HISTORY...however, I am a historical ROMANCE author, and that means the romance has to play a greater role than the history. Because my books contain so much heavy, authentic history, they have to have an extremely sensual romance to offset and balance the story. I take a solid chunk of meticulously researched history and blend it with a hot, erotic love story, or sometimes I even use two couples. My heroes are dark, dominant and dangerous, and my heroines are always a match for them!
My readers have come to expect a certain level of lust when they buy a Virginia Henley, and I never want to disappoint my readers! When I weave a tapestry of history combined with hot sensuality, it's like magic; it's a one-two punch that satisfies the reader, and satisfying my readers is my number one goal.
