Review
"A historical romance,
Unwilling Betrayer is a love story, an exciting history lesson, a saga, and it has enough action, intrigue, and sizzle to leave you gasping for breath while you are begging for more. It is marvelous." Highly Recommended! --
Under the Covers Book Reviews"This is a big book in many ways. Depicting a time long gone, a culture no longer extant, the author has brought it to glowing life, made the conflict as immediate as todays headlines, all while portraying a love that had to be." 4-1/2 Bright Irish Stars! --
The Word Museum"Wulf Thorsson is a man to risk all for. Brava, Ms. Van Nuys, for a tale well- savored and not soon forgotten!" --

About the Author
Joan van Nuys was raised in a family of violinists and for many years carried on the tradition of orchestral playing. A writing career beckoned when one of her daughters moved to Norway and Joan began putting her many adventures into story form. A sweet romance featuring a Norwegian hero netted her an agent but was never published. She went on to write two more category romances as Marianna Essex and has since produced seven historical romances.
Joan, who recently lost her husband of 45 years to cancer, has three daughters, four granddaughters (two of them Norwegian), three cats, and she has lived in the same old ivy-covered house in northwestern Pennsylvania for many years. She's an avid fan of Star Trek Second Generation, Star Trek Voyager, The Young and the Restless, and she loves reading, gardening, pingpong and exploring old towns in Iceland, Norway and Switzerland.
