Welcome!
I've spent years reading and writing and creating stories to share with you, featuring characters I hope you’ll love.

Rosa is one of my favourites, she’s naïve and doesn’t always make the best decisions, but she’s also kind and creative. You can read the story of her sensual misadventures with her stepbrother in Lover by Moonlight.
Then there’s Tamsin – strong and feisty, but not above being tricked into sleeping with the enemy in Lie to me.
Christian is another of my favourite characters – gorgeous and well-meaning, but ends up deceiving the woman he loves in The Gemini Effect.
Looking for something different? How about Anthea - a woman of 60 who thinks she's too old for love. Read her story in The Tangled Web. 

If you prefer your romance set in the past, then my upcoming ‘French Exiles’ series is for you. Set during the turbulent times of the French Revolution, the series features the exiled count Armand, his exquisite sister Sophie, an English Duchess and a promiscuous maid. Join me on the series’ first romantic adventure in The Duchess Takes a Lover.

I hope you enjoy reading these stories of love and misadventure as much as I’ve enjoyed writing them.

The Tangled Web
Looking for something a bit different these Christmas holidays? Check out Emily's latest novella 'The Tangled Web'. This is Anthea's story, mother of the twins in 'The Gemini Effect' (Deception: Book Three) and a woman who thinks she is too old for love. But Marcus Webster has different ideas, and he's a man who's used to getting his own way and is not afraid to indulge in a little subterfuge to get it...

​This novella can stand alone or be read as fifth in the Deception series. If you admire sexy, outspoken older women like Helen Mirren, don't miss 'The Tangled Web'.
French Exiles
Emily Arden's first historical romance will be out in 2023! 
The Duchess Takes a Lover is set during the turbulent times of the French Revolution. Join Armand, the Comte de Poitou on his first adventure. This one involves his heart!

Forced to take a lover, Isabel chooses a man far beneath her.
The bewitching Lady Isabel captured his imagination as Armand watched her walking up the aisle towards him, but it was the Duke she was being forced to marry. How could a French Comte who had lost his wealth and his lands ever have anything to offer her? Especially when the only way he could get close to her was to disguise himself as a groom.

Isabel had known she was not marrying for love, but to have a husband expect her to choose a lover to father her child – how could she ever bear to do such a thing? And if she did as she was bid, who could she possibly choose?
Emily Arden's first five books are now available!
