Ryan’s Temptation

 

Wrong place, wrong time. Now she’s running for her life.

Beautician Chanel Leroc can wield a pair of scissors like nobody’s business. After she witnesses a murder and lands on a serial killer’s hit list, she has to figure out how to protect herself—and fast. The killer tracks her down, but her sexy new neighbor, Dr. Ryan Naylor, drives the brute off.

The police dump the pair in a witness protection program, which doesn’t last long. Either the killer has a connection to the police, or he’s far more intelligent than they realize. All Chanel wants to do is get back to her safe life and get to know her neighbor better. Instead, she and Ryan hit the road and try to survive on their own.

How will they stay alive and keep their blooming romance intact with the killer hot on their trail?

Arresting Benjamin

 

A one-night stand, a surprise baby, and a mysterious stalker.

Mechanic Benjamin Starwell can’t stop thinking about Belle Hamlin, the ballsy musician he slept with and skipped out on months earlier. He never meant to get her pregnant, but he’ll do whatever it takes to win back her trust and be a part of his child’s life. His desire for Belle drives him to be a better man, but he’s worn thin with a garage to run and his estranged sister dumping her troubles on him.

Belle’s juggling impending motherhood, her indie rock career, and a stalker who’s determined to see her fail. Even though she’s desperate to get her priorities straight, she pushes aside her past hurt and welcomes Benji back into her bed. She never expects him to slip into her heart.

When the danger escalates, they face the greatest challenge of all—protecting their unborn child.

Trevor’s Redemption (New Release!)

 

The danger and lies are more than she can handle.

Shea O’Bannon feels like a fifth wheel around her romantically paired-off friends, but there’s too much slime in the dating pool for her to bother with it. Then she sees her two-timing ex, Trevor Madero, serenading the mostly female crowd at a live-music bar. God knows trouble follows him around, but her desire for him rushes back in anyway. After he rescues her from a handsy drunk, temptation takes over.

Determined to prove he never stepped out on Shea, Trevor slides back into her life—and her heart—with forever in mind. Even with the wall he keeps up to protect her, his secret criminal life weighs heavy on his soul and drives a wedge between them.

When the truth comes out and his enemies target them both, they’ll have to fight for their love, or kiss it goodbye.

 

Amber Daulton is visiting and talking about Who She Was Before #MFRWAuthor #Romance #contemporary #time travel #historical #paranormal

 

What Were You Before

 

Day 1

1. What were you before you became an author? Did this influence your choices as a writer?

 

I’ve wanted to be an author since I was twelve years old, but of course, life and responsibilities got in the way. By day, I worked in the dreaded service industry, at restaurants and retail stores. At night, I continued to write and included some of my personal work experiences as back stories and on-page action for my characters.

 

2. Are you genre specific or general? I don’t mean major genres but subdivisions or romance, mystery or paranormal.

 

I’m a romance author, but I don’t stick to just one sub-genre. I write contemporary, suspense, time travel, historical, and paranormal. Currently, I’m focusing my efforts in romantic suspense.

 

3. What is your latest release?

 

Shea O’Bannon and Trevor Madero co-star in Trevor’s Redemption, a steamy romantic suspense novella in my Arresting Onyx series. Onyx is an underground crime organization with a foothold in several American cities, and Trevor is a reluctant, guilt-ridden enforcer among their ranks. Shea is a graphics designer with no clue about her new boyfriend’s gang affiliations, but she knows he’s hiding something from her. The return of his manipulative ex puts their relationship—and their lives—in jeopardy. When his secrets come to light, Trevor and Shea will have to find a way to work together, or kiss their love goodbye.

This brand new book was released on Tuesday, August 22^nd, 2023, and it’s only 99 cents until August 29^th. You can find it here: https://books.amberdaulton.com/trevorsredemption

 

4. What are you working on now?

 

I’m revising a New Adult Christmas romance for re-release (it’s currently with my publisher, but I’ll get the rights back to it soon), and I’m getting Arresting Alan, book 4 in the Arresting Onyx series, ready for its April 2024 release date.

 

5. Does your reading choices influence your choice of a writing career?

 

Yes, I suppose. I mostly read romance, all sub-genres except Inspirational and poetry, but I have read a few thrillers and mysteries, which makes me want to write those kind of books. My writing schedule is full for the foreseeable future, however, so I probably won’t be dipping my toes into those genres anytime soon.

Friday Amber Daulton is Visiting and Talking About Heroes, Heroines, villains #MFRWAuthor #Heroes #Heroines #Villains #Forever Winter

 

Heroes, Heroines, Villains. Which are your favorite to write?

 

I love writing about the heroes, especially when I’m in their POV. I don’t know why, but speaking as the male lead comes more easily to me at times than speaking as the female lead. Maybe it’s because my men are brassier and tougher than the women? But that’s not to say my ladies are weak—heck, no. They don’t take crap from anybody, least of all the heroes, but they typically aren’t as rough around the edges as the men are.

 

Heroes. How do you find them? Do pictures, real life or plain imagination create the man you want every reader to love? Do they come before the plot or after you have the idea for the story?

 

My heroes usually come from my imagination, and I think of them at the same time as I’m coming up with the plot. I can’t have one without the other, so when I’m plotting a new story, the hero is already there. The foundation of his personality is already set, but I add in the details after I’m almost done with the plot.

 

Heroines. How do you find them? Do pictures, real life or imagination create the woman you want the reader to root for? Do they appear before the plot or after you have the idea for the story?

 

Same with the heroes.

 

Villains or villainesses or an antagonist, since they don’t always have to be the bad guy or girl. They can be a person opposed to the hero’s or heroine’s obtaining their goal. How do you choose one?

 

Sometimes it’s hard to figure out who the villain is, or who should be the main villain. In my re-release, Forever Winter, one of the bad guys is an untimely snowstorm that’s threatening to ruin my heroine’s wedding day. Everything bad that could go wrong, does, and all these problems snowball (no pun intended) into a confrontation that should’ve happened years earlier.

 

What is your latest release? Who is the hero, heroine and or the villain?

 

I’ve recently received the right back to Forever Winter, my debut novella from 2012, and I’ve given it a makeover with a fresh edit and cover. Camden and Susanna are the main couple, and there’s more than one villain, but I won’t give too much away. Just know that the snowstorm is the least of their problems.

 

What are you working on now?

 

I have three books releasing this year. Forever Winter just came out a few weeks ago on October 5^th. A Hero’s Heart (another re-release) will be live on November 2^nd, and the brand new Into The Fire box set will be hitting the digital shelves on December 14^th. As you can tell, I have a couple busy months ahead of me.

 

How can people find you?

 

I love to hear from readers. They can contact me through my website or on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

Amber Daulton is visiting and talking about being a Panster or a Plotter #MFRWAuthor #Panster #Plotter

 

1. Are you a panster or a plotter or perhaps a bit of both?

 

I’m a plotter, and I like to outline chapter by chapter. I use pen, paper, and colored pencils, but sometimes I plot in a Word doc. I try to follow my notes exactly, but more often than not, the characters take control and steer my story in another direction. Then I have to get into arguments with my H/h, or even the secondary characters, and force them back into the outline. More often than not, they refuse to get back in line and I have to write what they want.

Heh, it’s a give and a take relationship.

 

2. Which comes first - characters or plot for you?

 

Plot, definitely. If I don’t know where the story is going, then I can’t create the characters.

 

3. What are you working on now? Is this a book in a current series or something totally new?

 

I’ve been so busy releasing two new books this winter season that I haven’t been writing much, which is starting to wear on my sanity. I NEED to write!

Anyway, my newest release Harmony’s Embrace tells the story of Birley Haynes reuniting with his high school sweetheart, Harmony Holdich. I love holiday-themed books, so this one takes place at Christmastime. It’s the follow-up novella to Lyrical Embrace, and both books are in the multi-author Deerbourne Inn series with The Wild Rose Press.

 

4. Do you have some kind of object or place that figures in most of your books? I use gems a lot, hospitals and caves.

 

No, I don’t think so. I always try to give at least one of my main characters a pet, but I can’t manage it with every story.

 

5. Do you write everyday or just when the spirit hits?

 

Normally, I write everyday, but as I said, I’ve been super busy coming up with guest posts, interviews, etc for the latest releases. So I guess I am writing, but it’s not the fun stuff. Though I do love sinking into my characters’ heads for intense Q&A sessions.

 

6. Who are your favorite authors? What about a book you’ve enjoyed?

 

Sorry, I can’t say. I read a lot, but I don’t have a favorite author or series. Recent books that I’ve enjoyed are Tabitha Conall’s Colliding Worlds series and Arial Burnz’s Bound by Blood series.

 

7. Where can we find you?

 

All over the Internet. Just type “Amber Daulton” in the Google search bar, and lots of hits come up. The first time I did that, I was so surprised by all the websites and posts I’m linked to.

Once you’re in a prison gang, you’re in it for life. That’s what Mason Harding thought until the boss accepted his resignation.

His chance encounter with Mia Eddison results in a night of passion, but her brother—his parole officer—catches them together and doesn’t approve.

As they rekindled the flames of love that once bound them together, an enemy from his past and a trusted mentor from his present threatened to destroy everything they held dear.

Friday's Visitor is Amber Daulton - She's Talking About Who She Was Before #MFRWAuthor #Romance #Suspense #Deerbourne #Vermont

1.        What were you in life before you became a writer? Did this influence your choices as a writer?

I’ve always been a writer, ever since I read my first romance book at age 12. Sure, I’ve worked retail and in the restaurant industry for a while, but that was to pay the bills.

2.        Are you genre specific or general?

I write only romance, but the sub-genres vary (romantic-suspense, contemporary, western, historical, and time-travel). My stories range from sweet and clean to spicy and dirty, New Adult and Adult.

3.        What is your latest release?

Lyrical Embrace, book four in the Deerbourne Inn series, came out in February 2019. It’s a spicy romantic-suspense novella set in Vermont.

4.        What am I working on now?

I’m currently revising Arresting Jeremiah, book two in the Arresting Onyx series. Hopefully, it’ll come out sometime in 2020.

5.        Did your reading influence your choice of a writing career?

I’m not sure. I read all sorts of romance books, but my ideas come from all over the place, like my dreams (I have a very active imagination).

6.        Where can we find you?

My blog, of course! Every book I’ve published can be found there. https://amberdaultonauthor.blogspot.com/
