Virgin and the Bull shocks

is out of this world when the fiery anatomist Macgregor risks life

Exenchester.

author of historical fiction. Her stories are often set in the

The name Erato belonged to one of the nine muses
of Greek mythology: that who ruled love stories. No, it’s not the
same word as erOtic; literally Erato is “the Lovely,” from
Greek erastos “loved, beloved; lovely, charming.” The
author’s own given name being that of a different muse, the name
Erato was chosen as the nomme de plume that seemed especially fit for
writing historical stories with a romantic theme, though she also
writes historical novels without strong romantic elements. Her works
are normally highly researched, subversive, and can tend toward
humorous even when telling of tragedy.
