Synopsis

Romantics everywhere have been enthralled by Emily Bronte's classic novel of the tragic love between beautiful, spirited Catherine Earnshaw and dark, brooding Heathcliff. The restrained desire between these two star-crossed lovers has always smoldered on the page. And now it ignites into an uncontrollable blaze. In Wuthering Nights, writer I.J. Miller reimagines this timeless story to reveal the passion between Catherine and Heathcliff--in all its forbidden glory.

Set against the stark, raw beauty of the English moors, Heathcliff, an abandoned orphan, recognizes his soulmate in wild, impulsive Catherine, the only woman who can tame his self-destructive nature. And Catherine cannot deny the all-consuming desire she feels for him, despite his low birth. Together they engage in a fiery affair--one that will possess them, enslave them, and change their destinies forever...

About Emily Bronte

Emily Bronte (1818-1848) was born at Thornton, Bradford, Yorkshire, and just after the birth of her sister Anne, she moved with her family to Haworth, where she spent most of her life. Emily attended Cowan Bridge School, a Church of England clergymen's daughters' boarding school, but only for six months. Between 1830 and 1835, Emily taught at Miss Wooler's School at Roe Head, where her sister Charlotte also taught.

After serving as a governess in Halifax, Yorkshire, Emily accompanied her sisters Anne and Charlotte to Brussels, where they attended the Pensionnat Heger with the goal of improving their proficiency in French in order to start their own school. Their plans for their own school, however, foundered, and the sisters were reunited at Haworth in August 1845. When in the autumn of 1845 Charlotte accidentally discovered the manuscript of Emily's Gondal verses, she initiated the publication of a volume of poems by all three sisters, who as a clergyman's daughters thought it advisable to adopt the noms des plumes Currer (Charlotte), Ellis (Emily), and Acton (Anne) Bell.

A year after the publication by Thomas Cautley Newby, London, of Wuthering Heights, the eighteenth-century romance for which she is best known, Emily died of tuberculosis. She was just thirty years old but had already produced a romantic tragedy in novel form, written over the course of 1845-46, yet to be surpassed in the English language.

I lie in bed listening to the winds sweep over the moors, the delicate fragrance of heather slipping in through a crack in the casement and perfuming the inky air with a sigh of passion. Feeling a heavy presence settle next to me, I turn and gaze into eyes - dark, dangerous, a bit wild. As I roll to......more

Goodreads review by Ginny on May 17, 2013

Initial reaction: “Umm… ok… wow.” I requested this book because I love the classics and read this one in high school, wanting to see how “reimagined” it was… One theme that I.J. Miller definitely kept is this: In both Wuthering Heights and Wuthering Nights, I love the books whilst also wanting to caus......more

Goodreads review by Susana on April 27, 2013

I wanted to read this book since the author occasionally is a featured presenter at my Erotic Literary Salon. First a confession, I have never read "Wuthering Heights," so I'm reviewing as a stand-alone novel. Couldn't put it down, definitely a page-turner and the first time using my Kindle, so I jus......more

Goodreads review by Robert on April 08, 2013

When I saw the title of this one, and that it was an erotic retelling of the classic novel, Wuthering Heights, my interest was grabbed. There are a number of authors who go about adding his or her own spin to stories from the literary canon. Wuthering Nights stuck out from many other similar titles......more
