Virginia Henley's Bio

I write lush and lusty historical romances in both hardcover and paperback. My authentic medievals, set in England, Ireland and Scotland have received critical acclaim and garnered many awards.

My great passion is HISTORY...however, I am a historical ROMANCE author, and that means the romance has to play a greater role than the history. Because my books contain so much heavy, authentic history, they have to have an extremely sensual romance to offset and balance the story. I take a solid chunk of meticulously researched history and blend it with a hot, erotic love story, or sometimes I even use two couples. My heroes are dark, dominant and dangerous, and my heroines are always a match for them!

My readers have come to expect a certain level of lust when they buy a Virginia Henley, and I never want to disappoint my readers! When I weave a tapestry of history combined with hot sensuality, it's like magic; it's a one-two punch that satisfies the reader, and satisfying my readers is my number one goal.
