BLOG HOP — Learn a little more about me

I was tagged by the wonderful Author Blakely Bennett who has some wonderfully kinky books and I had the pleasure of meeting on FB. If you want to check out her Bloghop post please go here: http://www.blakelybennett.com/blog-hop/

Questions:

What are you working on right now?

I am currently working on Quintessentially Q (the second book in the Monsters in the Dark series and follow on from Tears of Tess) I’m loving being back in Q’s head and seeing them grow together. It will be released on the 15th December.

Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18398089-quintessentially-q

I also have three other books that I’m working on.

Broken Chance which is a quirky, erotica that I hope people will enjoy. Here is the blurb:

Working at the local race track for Beatrix Black is heaven and hell. She may or may not have a gambling problem. 

Paying her way through college, Trix lives up to her name by using her skills as mathematics major to work out race algorithms and bets far more than she can lose. 

The tips aren’t bad, and the view of hotshots in their suits ain’t bad either, until Arron Jackson appears. Betting heavy on a shitty horse, he wins the jackpot. 

Then Trix’s luck runs out and her debts are called in. 

Flashing his new cash, Arron has eyes on other ponies and tries to rope Trix in for a ride. In a game of chance they both battle to say on top, but someone has to lose and it won’t be Trix.

I also have Last Shadow which I released the cover for a few days ago. I’m loving how this book is evolving and dying to publish and introduce you to Lyric and Kage.

Add to GR here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18403217-last-shadow

I also have a super secret project on the go that I won’t be naming or divulging for another few weeks

How does Tears of Tess or any of your other work relate differently to what is out there in the genre?

I like to think that Q is a strong male who stands out in a world of alpha males. I also like to think that Tess is strong and defiant and a heroine that encourages and inspires rather than being a little weak. I just write what I would love to read and put my heart and soul into my characters.

Why do you write?

Simple. Because I can’t NOT write. It’s my only hobby. My passion. My need. If I didn’t write the voices in my head would become too much. So I suppose I write to stop myself from going insane with the voices Plus, I love to write kink

How does your writing process work?

I normally get a spark of an idea when I least expect it. The story will simmer while I’m working on other projects and I keep jotting notes down in my notebook as I get to know the characters. I can write loose drafts on multiple books all at once, but I can’t get completely invested in the characters until i immerse myself completely into their world. So when it comes to editing and finishing touches I don’t touch any other book than the one I’m doing.

And that’s me Hope that shed a bit of light on me. If you have any other questions for me just let me know and I’ll answer straight away!

Thanks for reading!

COVER REVEAL: Last Shadow

I’ve been sitting on this cover for so long now and I’ve been DYING to share Ari, from Cover it! Designs has done an AMAZING job, I’m seriously in love with this cover.

 

This is another title of mine being released soon. What do you think?  

 

 

 

Here’s the blurb: 

 

A New Adult Dark Contemporary Romance, not suitable for people sensitive to slavery, cruelty, and non-consensual sex. A story about a killer with no remorse, a woman living in nightmares, and a future that binds them in servitude. 

***

I’m named after the blackest of shadows. Conjured from earth, created by demons, molded by fire to become the perfect killer. I need no-one. I feel nothing. I am nobody… until her.

***

My name is of no consequence, they sometimes call me whore, slut, or possession. I dance by night and waste away by day. Every foul moment of this life is replaced with my hopes and dreams, inked onto my skin for the world to see.  I have a promise to keep. I will be free—it’s only a matter of time…until him.

A Hero’s Heart Cover Reveal

A Hero’s Heart

 

Publisher: Books to Go Now

Release Date: TBA

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Length: 38k

Sexual Rating: Spicy

 

 

Blurb:

 

Ten years ago, Jarrett Brandt left home and abandoned everyone of importance. After a hard reality check, the irresponsible young man matured into a ballsy DEA agent with a kickass Harley Davidson and a million-dollar bounty on his head. Ordered by his superior officer to take refuge at a safe house just days before Christmas, he headed back home to Washington State, instead, to make peace with his deceased brother’s memory.

 

Marissa Reinn Brandt never expected to see Jarrett again. Best friends since childhood and lovers as teenagers, immaturity, over-demanding parents and illicit drugs ripped them apart. Now a successful chef at a posh restaurant, the young widow and her son offered Jarrett a place to stay for the holiday. Even though she expected nothing from her former lover—the twin brother of the man she married—fate intervened.

 

As Jarrett and Marissa rekindled the flames of love and lust that once bound them together, an enemy from his past and a trusted mentor from his present vied their time in the snowy dark and threatened to destroy everyone he held dear. Needing a Christmas miracle to save his family, Jarrett needed the love of a good woman to save his battered heart. His second chance with Marissa meant the world to him and nothing, no one, would stand in his way of cherishing her for all time.

 

 

Excerpt:

 

Jarrett seethed. Ready to hit the highway on his Road King Classic and find a biker bar where he could bloody his knuckles, he turned and headed back toward the caretaker’s station. He reached the cracked sidewalk just as someone called out his name. His heart somersaulted as he flipped around. He’d know that voice anywhere. The woman who haunted his dreams skidded down the small hill in clunky shoes with damp auburn hair cascading around her shoulders. He expected her to stop a few feet from him just as his parents did but she jumped into his arms, instead, and knocked him back a few steps. She wrapped her arms around him. Her sweet scent filled his nostrils. He buried one hand in her curly hair and pressed her close to his chest with the other.

 

This one moment made the trip worth it.

 

“Marissa,” he breathed her name like a talisman. God, it felt so right to hold her again. She fit against him perfectly. Just a few inches under six feet, while he was a few inches over, their bodies meshed like a work of art. He should have married this woman, fathered children with her and lived his life to make her happy. Instead, he chose something just as intoxicating, just as beautiful to his ignorant mind, and abandoned her on the curb outside his family’s home. More than anything, he regretted that he’d left her behind.

 

 

Author Bio:

 

Amber Daulton lives in the beautiful foothills of North Carolina with her wonderful husband and their five crazy kitties. Writing takes up most of her time, aside from her day job in the retail industry. As a fan of contemporary, paranormal and historical novels alike, she can’t get enough of feisty heroines and alpha heroes. Her mind is a wonderland of romance and adventure, laughter and awesome ways of kicking a guy when he’s down. Writing is her passion and she probably wouldn’t be too sane without it. After all, what’s a girl to do when there are people jabbering away in her head and it’s hard to shut them up? Write! Nothing else works.
