Sexy but alone Helen Marx is a cop too guilty to love. Sexy but alone Marco Ambastilias is the world’s greatest opera star too guilty to sing. When their guilt collides their bodies betray their needs in a climax worthy of theatre, worthy of love.

Widowed as a bride, Police dog handler Constable Helen Marx loses herself in her work. For eight years her German shepherd Lanza has been at her side. When a thug leaves him gravely wounded the whole framework of her life is gone. As her dog fights for life, Marco Ambastilias, the renowned but reclusive opera star comes to her side. There is a spark and a rekindling of her own passionate sexuality. She enters his life and that of his daughter Cressida whose drug issues have brought her into contact with deeply evil men. Helen uncovers a terrorist plot to attack the Queen at the Royal Ascot race meeting but has orders not to alert Marco and his daughter who will be attending the event. A desperate struggle against suicide attackers reveals her deception and she loses his trust and they split. Police work sweeps her up. The supreme world terrorist leader remains at liberty, planning another outrage. Global authorities come together to set a trap. Can she convince Marco to act as bait? Can she overcome her guilt at loving a man again and then deceiving him? Can she express her own sexual desires without guilt? Could the music and eroticism of love put an end to the joyless dictatorship of terrorism? Could a seed of joy root in her flesh? Seduction of Guilt – when naughty goes good.

Emma Calin was born in London in 1962. She currently lives in France and the UK.

She has been writing since childhood and has won numerous local, national and international prizes for poetry and short stories, including the East Texas Writers Guild Award in 2017 and the New Apple Award for Ebook Literary Excellence in 2017.

Emma currently writes steamy police action romance novels and gritty short stories with her partner, an ex-Interpol, London Met' Police and Special Branch detective. These books are published with the 'Passion Patrol' logo. Currently there are nine stand-alone titles in the series, available in digital e-book, paperback and audio book formats.

Emma's 'POWER'. The latest brand-new hot cop adventure romance, where sassy rookie London cop, Olivia, joins the 'Passion Patrol'. She falls for Jackson, a visiting congressman and potential presidential candidate from the USA. They meet on the street while Olivia is subduing a man with a knife. When the press gets hold of the story, all bets are off. Can a romance survive across cultures and continents? Can Jackson avoid those that would see him fall? He has one invincible weapon - a woman in love.

For an introduction to the series, meet the female cops who make up the team when you try book #1, 'GUILT'. Police dog handler Helen Marx is distraught when her loyal K9 Partner takes a bullet. He's been her only companion since her soldier husband died on duty. The man who comes to her aid has problems of his own. Can these two broken souls overcome their guilt to love again? *También en español - 'CULPA'.

'COMBAT' is an early title in Emma's 'PASSION PATROL' series. A steamy love story set against a backdrop of international gambling corruption and deception. Interpol cop Anna Leyton finds herself torn between love and duty when her professional and private life intersects.

'DYNASTY' is another stand-alone novel following the 'Passion Patrol' theme of hot cops, hot crime and hot romance. Shannon Aguerri is a witty but feisty inner-city wild-child cop, brought up on the wrong side of the tracks. After an unwanted move out to a rural patrol beat, she discovers there's more going on in this sleepy village than meets the eye. The son of a local aristocrat arouses suspicion of drug crime activity - but his widower father arouses more animal instincts! Their social differences mean nothing to their passion and need. Already in the mix is an upper class female rival - who has long plotted her way into the Earl's bed. The jealousy is an evil shade of green and the anger is a violent scarlet. Could she really mix with the British royal family? Can she risk her heart and career on yet another high risk unauthorised investigation? Can she get justice for an innocent boy? Dare a kid from the gutter dream of being a countess?

'SEDUCTION OF TASTE' a companion cook book to 'DYNASTY' - read the romance, feel the passion TASTE the love. Now combined in a bargain bundle of both books in 'SEDUCTION OF DYNASTY PLUS'.

'CROWNS' this fast-paced action adventure story tells of an ordinary London girl cop who gets swept up in world-changing political events. A juicy mix of cops crime and passion, with a large side order of French satire sauce.

'SANTA' - a feel good story for the holiday season but with a love story to warm your heart all year.

'WEALTH' - Kaitlyn Thorne, traffic cop, could never imagine that the arrest of the cheeky driver of a crashed Maserati would link her to international banking fraud investigations, lorry chases, mafia shoot outs, and the love of the richest man in the world.

The 'LOVE IN A HOPELESS PLACE COLLECTION' - a complete 'boxed set' of 5 gritty hard-hitting novelettes and short stories which explore the human quest for love, compassion and survival. Available in July 2013 in print, digital e-book and audiobook formats.

'SUB-PRIME' is a prize-winning hard hitting short story about courage, exploitation and love. It is a raw and brutal exposé of life at the bottom in the aftermath of recession. Available in e-book formats for Kindle and Kindle Reader Apps. This is the first in Emma Calin's novelette and short story series and is available as a single title or in the 'LOVE IN A HOPELESS PLACE COLLECTION'.

'THE CHOSEN' - the second publication in the 'LOVE IN A HOPELESS PLACE COLLECTION' - is a short story set in modern times where working people struggle to keep their dreams alive. A world where the promise of love motivates desperate measures. Available as a single title in e-book format for Kindle and Kindle Reader Apps, or as part of the collection.

'ESCAPE TO LOVE' is a novelette set in an urban landscape, the third in Emma's 'LOVE IN A HOPELESS PLACE COLLECTION'. A mother and her autistic daughter are trying to start a new life. They have escaped an abusive relationship only to now find themselves tangled in further drama and controversy. Can she trust her instincts and make the right choices for her child? Their future depends on it. Available as a single title in e-book format for Kindle and Kindle Reader Apps.

'ANGELA' is a very short story of a late night taxi ride where the final passenger may not be all that she seems. The fourth story in the 'LOVE IN A HOPELESS PLACE COLLECTION'.

'LOVE IN A HOPELESS PLACE' is a novelette which is the fifth and final book in Emma's 'boxed set' and gives the name to the anthology - THE LOVE IN A HOPELESS PLACE COLLECTION. A mature woman finds the truth of herself. She cannot go back even though physical and emotional violence erupt around her. Dare she give in to love? Will sexual passion and fear overwhelm her stable life? Who can she trust to love her for herself? Available as a single title or as part of the collection.

As part of the HitLitPro team, Emma is proud to donate her short story 'CHAMPIONS' to the 2014 Movember anthology 'LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE BOYS' published by ThornBerry Publishing UK. Nine Mo-Sistas - all romance authors - have embraced the moustache baton and joined forces to support their menfolk. All profits from the sale of the book will go to the Movember charity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another feisty cop on the case
Reviewed in Australia on 14 October 2018

A British police dog handler is thrust into a world of counter terrorism, after her and her dog respond to an armed burglary callout.
The rest of this dramatic and superbly crafted tale, will keep you turning pages, to find out what is about to happen next.

I love Ms Calin's group of English feisty female cops. I'm sure they are modeled on some real life characters, and that thought allows me to sleep peacefully at night, knowing such people are patrolling the streets, to catch those with sinister intentions, often preventing incidents, without the public even knowing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful story about working dogs

What a fabulous story and plot! Loved the characters and their development and the inclusion of the two dogs and the hero dog that died and their parts in the story. This was so intense that I wanted to continue reading every time I had to stop! I have bought the entire series and will read them all soon. Thank you for the idea of the Lanza Foundation and hope some day it becomes a reality!! (I have a service dog - my second one - and love their help and the close bond that develops between dog and handler! You described it the best I have ever read! Thank you!)

4.0 out of 5 stars A delightful and somewhat steamy read about finding love and dismantling a London terrorist plot
Reviewed in the United States on 24 August 2019

This was a really fun read!
The heroine is a highly likable, 'ordinary' policewoman who suddenly finds herself rubbing shoulders with the elite and becoming the key to thwarting multiple terrorist attacks. She is smart, unassuming, beautiful without knowing it and has no hang-ups about her sensuality.
The hero is an opera singer who is so far over the top in his declarations of love and his philosophy of life that he eventually becomes endeared to you, too.
The substory of him and his daughter Cressida is also sweet as can be!
Add to all this the thrill of hunting the terrorists, some action here and there, a lot of romance that gets more than steamy at times and you have what is almost the perfect story!
Also, there is more than a little subtle poking fun at certain public figures. For example, I couldn't help laughing out loud every time she mentions the Russian president Vladimir (once also called Viktor) Pinupskin!
There are a couple of reasons I didn't give the book the full five stars, however:
- I thought everyone's infatuation with the hero dog was just a little too much.
- The beginning of the book was quite slow moving, and after the first couple of chapters I was even tempted to stop reading. (It was a good thing I didn't, though.)
- The part about the World Intelligence Forum and allowing foreign assassins to operate with impunity was also hardly believable.
- Numerous sentences lacked structure and proper grammar and simply didn't make much sense no matter how many times I reread them.
- The Epilogue is not included.
Nonetheless, on the whole it was a most enjoyable story and I look forward to reading her next book!

Here is my detailed review:
Hero: 4 stars
Heroine: 5 stars
Plot: 4 stars
Writing style: 4 stars
Suspense: 4 stars
Action: 2 stars
Humor: 2 stars
Romance: 5 stars
Sensuality: 3 stars
Ending: HEA; however the Epilogue is not included.
Would I read another book by this author? Certainly!

Fast-paced thriller with a strong female lead character. All the ingredients for a best seller. What a pity there was so much emphasis on the sex. Show don't tell. We got the chemistry between Helen and Marco in the first chapter. The action on the streets of London was more exciting anyway.
