Hi readers,
I’m so excited to share something new with you:
A brand-new pen name. A fresh, emotionally intelligent romance universe with rich characters, twists and turns, exciting plots, and thrills. And a new series that I hope you’ll fall in love with.
💫 Meet Emma Hines Fiction
Emma Hines is my second pen name, built around stories that are smart, slow-burning, and deeply romantic. Think:
Real-world characters with grown-up emotions.
Love and romance-centric stories and series.
Authentic steam without cliché.
Relationship dynamics that feel lived-in and nuanced.
Plots that are shaped by character, career, place, history, and personal growth.
These aren’t just romances. They’re stories about love and the world it lives in.

📘 New Free To All Series Launch: City of Aten: Chapter One
Chapter One coming this Saturday, 2nd August. 👀 Keep an eye on your inbox!
Set against the backdrop of academia, archaeology, and unexpected connections, City of Aten begins with a train ride and a spark between a brilliant Egyptologist and a curious, eccentric stranger with a genius IQ and zero social filters.
It’s flirty, sharp, quietly steamy, and just the beginning.
I’ll be releasing three chapters per week, and if readers respond well, this could grow into a long-form serial with depth, heat, and momentum.
🔭 What’s Coming on Emma Hines Fiction
Here’s a sneak peek at upcoming series:
The Thorn I Left Behind: failing marriage, cheating husband, a new start, and a new potential love interest. I am rewriting this old favorite, perhaps adding more chapters.
How does Sophie pick up the pieces of her life after a wrecked marriage? Too many quarrels have sucked away her kindness and soft nature as she is torn apart amid a maelstrom of negativity, lost like a kite in a hurricane.
When violence raises its ugliness, Sophie knows she must run, but where to? Her sister Claire has the answer, or at least a temporary one.
Join a thrilling adventure in a faraway land where romance is unavoidable and danger lurks.
Steamy romance standalones: 2,000+ words. Steamy. Romantic. Character-driven.
I’ll be writing steamy romance standalones as Emma Hines very soon. Focussed on rich characters, exciting plots, and in-depth love journeys, these stories will make your heart melt and your stomach flutter.
