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.

Lord Whitsnow and the Seven Orphans (The Contrary Fairy Tales Book 4) Jul 9, 2018

by Em Taylor

( 5 )

$2.99

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?

Sleeping Lord Beattie (The Contrary Fairy Tales Book 1) Nov 1, 2017

by Em Taylor

( 47 )

$2.99

EM TAYLOR brings you an amazing new series of Regency stories based on the fairy tales you loved as a child.

Young ladies of good breeding do not kiss gentlemen in their bed chambers even if they have been asleep for three weeks. One would think Lady Emily would know that. One would think Lady Emily would not have entered Lord Beattie’s bed chamber alone. One would have thought that kissing the handsome viscount would have been the last thing she would have done.
But kiss him she did. And that was when the apothecary walked in. All of which meant she had to marry Lord Beattie.

Why the silly little chit had kissed him when he’d been out cold for three weeks, the Lord alone knew. And now Gideon, Viscount Beattie had to marry the outspoken little minx. But there was something a little charming about her. The problem was, her uncle was after his hide, the peasants were revolting – in the rioting sense, not in the disgusting sense – and he really needed to procure some grain from up north. He may as well kill two birds with one stone and elope with the interesting, frustrating, irritating and thoroughly delightful Lady Emily – soon to be Viscountess Beattie. It would be an interesting journey.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: This book has no magic in it. While loosely based on a fairy tale, the story is gender swapped and there is no paranormal happenings.

This book has scenes of an adult nature and is intended for mature audiences aged 18+

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

by Em Taylor

( 12 )

$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.

Restoring Lady Anna (The Eversley Siblings Series Book 2) May 14, 2016

by Em Taylor

( 27 )

$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?

While this book can be read as a stand alone, you may find it better to read Saved by a Rake first.

Not Just My Heart: A Second Chance Steamy Scottish Contemporary Romance Oct 5, 2020

by Em Taylor

( 6 )

$2.99

Six years ago, I made the stupidest mistake of my life.
I told Lacey Kendrick, I wanted to break up.
So she kicked me out her car, told me to move my stuff out her flat and blocked me on her phone.

And the stupid thing is. I hadn't realised what a monumental idiot I'd been until I saw her, after all this time, in a pub in Glasgow.
The chemistry was still there. I could still make her laugh, blush, want me.
But boy, did she still hold a grudge. I was going to have to work to win her round. Lacey was worth it though. That smile. That body. The way she responded to my touch.
I was soon to find out, however, that winning her over again would be the easy part. I had a secret weapon when it came to her … in my boxers.
It was becoming patently obvious, however, that six years ago it was not just Lacey's heart I had broken when I'd walked away from our relationship.

This is a second chance romance set in Glasgow, Scotland. It has adult themes and content.

A Cowboy Wedding in Scotland (Stetsons and Kilts Series Book 2) Oct 20, 2016

by Em Taylor

( 13 )

$2.99

EM TAYLOR keeps the Scottish romance coming with a story of love at first sight.

I KISSED HIM! Before we'd even been properly introduced!

Rhona's going to kill me. "Go get my fiancé’s brother from Glasgow airport," she said. "It'll give you some time away from this crazy wedding prep."

More like crazy bride. She deserved every syllable of the moniker "Bridezilla." I couldn't wait to get out of there.

Now, she's going to be even crazier. I thought she was nuts for marrying an American; however, I've discovered the draw. Jake MacAllan is too sexy for his own good, and I can't keep my hands to myself.

Funny, but I never thought I'd settle down. It seems this cowboy has mastered the skill of the rope, but I've been known to be a little hard-headed when it comes to love.

I guess it's time I learn to ride.

Warning: This book contains scenes of an adult nature and is suitable only for those aged 18+
