About Me

Visit my blog and let me know which picture you think should go in the back of my next release. Look for DISTRACTING THE DUCHESS, March 2008 under my pen name for my sexy, light-hearted historicals, Emily Bryan.
In a strange land of flashing swords and swirling silks, Valdis is utterly lost. And the harem she's forced to enter is so very treacherous.
Her family cast her away when they suspected she'd been "witched." Now she's troubled with even more ominous dreams. She sees the death of the one man who could help her escape, an exiled Viking who braves the wrath of a kingdom to waken Valdis to love, one sinful pleasure at a time. To save him, Valdis must play a high-stakes game of power and seduction if she hopes to live out her SILK DREAMS.
