Title: Dilemma in Yellow Silk: The Emperors of
London
Author: Lynne Connolly
Release Date: April 12, 2016
Publisher: Lyrical Press
Genre: Historical Romance
Format: Ebook
Ever ready to do the right thing, The Emperors of London act bravely—and when it
comes to matters of the heart, impetuously…
Despite her cover as the daughter of the land steward for Lord Malton, Marcus
Aurelius, spirited Viola Gates is tied by birth to the treacherous Jacobite legacy. Not
that this keeps her from falling for the dashing Lord from afar. Despite his staid
demeanor, Marcus is devastatingly handsome—and hopelessly beyond her reach.
Then Viola’s father is mortally wounded and her secret identity revealed, sending
her straight into danger’s path—and Marcus’s arms…
For years, he’d only known her as a wild child, the tempting—and
forbidden—daughter of his trusted steward. But when Viola’s life is threatened,
Marcus must act as duty—and his barely contained passion—dictates. Ferrying the
bold beauty on an eventful journey to safer quarters, he offers her the protection of
his name. Their tempestuous union might succeed in vanquishing their enemies, but
will the chivalrous lord and his unsuitable wife surrender to the power of love?
“Lynne Connolly writes Georgian romances with a deft touch. Her characters amuse,
entertain and reach into your heart.” —Desiree Holt
“Plots, deviousness and passion galore…a truly enjoyable read.” –Fresh

Meet Author Lynne Connolly
I write sensuous historical romance as Lynne Connolly, and contemporary and
paranormal romance as L.M. Connolly
I was born in Leicester, England, and lived in our cobbler’s shop with my parents
and sister. It was an old house and most definitely haunted, but I didn’t find out until
I left that my great uncle had hung himself in the living room! But I think our ghost
might have been older than that. It was built on the site of the old Roman cemetery,
and the land had been constantly inhabited, being in the centre of town. Then, when
the council bought the house from us to build a road, my grandfather retired and my
father went and worked for the Post Office. My mother was a sample machinist; that
is, she worked with designers on the prototypes (models or samples) of garments.
So I was very well dressed! We bought a relatively modern house in the country, and
my mother was blissfully happy. It’s all very well living in a large old house, but it’s a
dreadful task to keep it clean and warm!
My mother’s side of the family are Romany gypsies, although sadly we haven’t any of
the old trailers that are so astonishingly beautiful. I was taught to read the Tarot
cards, and I usually use two packs; the Rider pack for simple readings and the
Crowley Thoth pack for the complex stuff.
I’ve always had an interest in the paranormal and it’s been a delight to be able to put
some of this into my novels.
My other huge interest is the historical. I love all periods of history, but my favorites
are the Tudor and Georgian eras. I research and research, because I love it. I will
travel miles to see a new variation on the Palladian mansion! I am fascinated in
finding out how people lived then, and creating a credible story with people who
lived in past ages.
