She discovered her passion for women's erotica while researching a paper for her women's studies class in college.

A Midwestern girl at heart, Emelia spent several years in California before admitting she was most at home on the Plains. She's a local-history junkie, loves reading recipes but rarely cooks and stays up way too late most nights.

Emelia and her husband live in the heart of America with their menagerie of animals and house plants. The Envelope Incident is her first story for Harlequin Spice Briefs.","bio_short":"","image":"https://i.harperapps.com/hcanz/authors/0108581/x145.jpg","on_tour":false,"featured":false,"deceased":false,"sensitivity":"0","locale":"","custom":{"algoliaKey":"9ece8cd5e3d49bc1a9283ded8a88f722-0","export_hash":"77b45eb437d3f602dabbd1dee3b065a96dc597d1d80ae2321511d3841fad08a6"},"events":null,"awards":null,"assets":[{"id":"168014-100705","asset_id":"100705","asset":{"id":"168014","unique":"5f53cdac00ca3240aad25e5adda06621","name":"emelia-elmwood-author-twitter","description":null,"type":"link-url","sub_type":"author-twitter","order":"1","size":"0","height":"0","width":"0","embed":null,"path":"https://twitter.com/Emelia_Elmwood","source":"Import Author Details Script","schedule":"2021-09-21 02:01:39"}},{"id":"213943-100705","asset_id":"100705","asset":{"id":"213943","unique":"x500-emelia-elmwood-Contributors","name":"emelia-elmwood-author-photo","description":null,"type":"image","sub_type":"author-photo","order":"1","size":"500","height":null,"width":"500","embed":null,"path":"https://i.harperapps.com/hcanz/authors/0108581/x145.jpg","source":"new-image-import","schedule":"2025-04-04 00:00:00"}}],"books":[{"description":"

A world of obsession and possession where nothing is as it seems on the surface. Be possessed by these seven tales of submission and surrender…

Katie is dared by her best friend Dean to take their relationship further, testing her limits — and his — and bringing their friendship to boiling point!

When Glory's boss catches her naked with a client at the office, she expects to be reprimanded, not receive Bruce's revelation that he wants her, too. But why is she aroused by the idea?

The last thing Glory needs is another office affair. Nevertheless, she's tempted by her new coworker Clement's confidence and southern charm...not to mention the chance at a normal relationship.

Kate has a secret obsession that she's never been able to share — until she meets Ian on her train ride home. Once she's let him in, will she be able to let him go?

Her lover's gift was accompanied by an invitation: Wear this gift and meet me on the trail at dusk. Soon their game would begin and she would bask in the intoxicating thrill of submission.

After years of child rearing and chores, all Valérie wants is a break from her everyday routine...until an unexpected reunion awakens the pure sexual wanting she thought she'd lost.

Recently dumped and hurting, Emma is convinced to put her fate — and fantasies — into the hands of her friends. But when she relinquishes control, will she regret or revel her decision?
