The Nostalgia Trilogy
The three novels in this omnibus edition were first published as category romances in the 1990s. Collected here for the first time, they provide a glimpse into the not too distant past, when cell phones and personal computers were just beginning to be available and the proliferation of e-books, streaming, and podcasts was still in the future.
In Sleepwalking Beauty, Duncan Glendower is assigned to keep Andrea Lauderdale safe by her over-protective grandfather. The safest place he can think of is a remote hunting cabin in Maine, but once they arrive there he faces a new danger. Despite the fact that they're from two different worlds, he's rapidly falling for the woman he's been hired to protect. The review of this one in Affaire de Coeur said "Emerson has a talent for anticipation and passion."
Echoes and Illusions is a contemporary romance, but it also contains scenes set in the past. After Lauren Ryder, a young woman living in Maine in 1993, recognizes her own face in a 450 year old painting, she's plagued by nightmares in which she encounters persecution and murder in Tudor England. This is especially troubling because she can't remember anything about the first eighteen years of her life in the twentieth century. Her husband Adam, a skeptic by nature and a law-enforcement consultant by profession, determined to discover where Lauren came from and what happened in her past, has to make a leap of faith in order to preserve their marriage. The Talisman called this book "the perfect blend of mystery, suspense, and the paranormal."
Tried and True also touches on the past, since its setting is a living history center. When Grant Bradley convinces talk-show host Vanessa Dare to spend a week in the year 1888, in costume, to film a feature on "Westbrook Farm," she has no idea that she'll soon be neck deep in both love and danger.
