Grayson, Emmy: - When Emmy Grayson came across her mother's copy of A Rose in Winter by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss, she snuck it into her room and promptly fell in love with romance. Over 20 years later, Harlequin Presents made her dream come true by offering her a contract for her first book. When she isn't writing, she's chasing her kids, attempting to garden, or carving out a little time on her front porch with her own romance hero.
