About Em Taylor

Em was born and brought up in the Central Belt of Scotland and still lives there. She was told as a child she had an overactive imagination--as if that is a bad thing. She's traded her dreams of owning her own island, just like George in the Famous Five to hoping to meet her own Mr Darcy one day. But her imagination remains the same.

Young ladies should not ask bachelor earls for help.
Young ladies should not accept propositions from aforementioned earls.
Young ladies certainly should not stay with earls in their country homes, even with chaperones consisting of one other young lady and seven orphans.
Miss Lucy Butterworth knows all this, but she accepted the proposition, and now the earl wants to marry her. And the earl is so handsome, and so perfect, and so upstanding (in more ways than one).
Unfortunately, Lucy is far from perfect, and if the earl finds out her secrets, she’ll be ruined.

* * *

Robert Beresford, the Earl of Whitsnow, knows he should not have propositioned Miss Butterworth, but she was the answer to his prayers.
Pretty; intelligent; and, well, there.
She would save him from the dreaded marriage mart.
He’s an earl for goodness sake. Why would she not marry him? His valet assures Robert that the maids think he is good-looking.
As Robert gets to know Miss Butterworth, and the seven orphans she has in tow, he becomes more intrigued and a little infatuated.
Is there more to her interest in orphans than just a desire to do good? Why does a single young lady refuse such a good match? And why does she need a lot of money in a hurry? Do the orphans hold the key to her secrets? And can Lucy resurrect the feelings of his previously inanimate heart?

by Em Taylor

( 30 )

$2.99

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?

Lord Rose Reid and the Lost Lady (The Contrary Fairy Tales Book 3) Jan 22, 2018

by Em Taylor

( 14 )

$2.99

USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR EM TAYLOR brings you the third novel in the lively Contrary Fairy Tales Series.

Lord Jason Rose-Reid should never have questioned why there was a horse out in a blizzard in the middle of Cumbria. If he had not, he would not have rescued Lady Rutherford and her babe from the snow. He also would not now be struggling with a myriad of emotions regarding the not-so-merry widow herself. He would be drinking port and reading Homer like all good rakes should be doing on cold winter evenings. Not running about the country, widow and babe in tow, with a growing desire for the aforementioned widow to boot.

How had it come to this? Fleeing for her life, or rather, the life or her three-month-old son. It seemed that some men would kill a harmless infant to gain money, land and a title. She had fled to Lord Whitsnow's estate, but due to an unfortunate series of events, had ended up in the dower house with both Lord Whitsnow and his friend, Lord Rose-Reid. Two sullen, fractious gentlemen; a crying, fractious baby and a growing realisation that they were her, and her son’s, protectors. Now every time she looked at Lord Rose-Reid he stole her breath. And every so often, she allowed him to steal more than a kiss.

She wanted to get away. Her only problem was how. Was she in more danger staying or going? It was almost as if she was in a bear's den, and he wanted to eat her all up. And the vexing thing was, she was more than willing to be dinner. Now, he said she'd be safer with him in Yorkshire, and after a visit from her pursuers, she may very well be.

Based loosely on the story of Snow White and Rose Red, Lord Rose Reid and the Lost Lady is a bold, erotic Regency tale which will keep you on the edge of your seat.
