Midnight Desire
by Emma Holly

Two beloved tales that explore the darker side of passion...in all of its forms.

Revel in Catching Midnight, then experience Luisa's Desire.

Catching Midnight: They are the upyr, part wolves, part blood-drinking immortals. During the plague, they rescue an orphan and carry her into the Scottish wood to live as one of them. Blossoming, Gillian revels in the pleasures of the flesh and the hunt, but her heart yearns for the human world. Taking a falcon's form, Gillian escapes her keepers—only to be caught by Aimery Fitz Clare, a mortal nobleman. He could be the savior she's looking for...unless she loses her heart to him.

Luisa's Desire tells of a child of midnight who has arrived at a spiritual refuge in Tibet. Far from her normal immortal life, Luisa is surrounded by simplicity and self-denial. Here, she hopes to expunge her dangerous desires. But when she meets the monk who can save her, Luisa realizes she's only beginning to understand what desire is.

Emma Holly's Bio

Okay. About me. Born in New Jersey. Grew up in Baltimore. Moved to the midwest when the city I was living in started to get too scruffy. Always wanted to be a writer. (Never mind my pre-pubescent fantasies about being Batman's girlfriend. I didn't imagine I'd get paid for that.)

I wrote for a long time before I sold. Not too long, I guess, since I didn't give up, but long enough to appreciate how amazing it is that so many of my dreams are coming true. (Yes, you too can become a published author!)

My first sale was MENAGE to Black Lace. I wrote five erotic novels for them, a novella for Secrets, then sold my first historical romance to Berkley Jove. Until I worked on BEYOND INNOCENCE, I had no idea research could be enjoyable. I mean, why don't they give the fun history books with the pretty pictures to kids in high school? I could be so much less ignorant if I'd had them.

But no matter. Being ignorant is a good excuse to by more books. And learning is a pleasure, especially when you can turn it into a story someone will love.
