Welcome back to the blog, Amber Daulton! My fellow Wild Rose Press author has a new romance out today.

Reuniting with the man who broke her heart has never felt so right.

Divorced dad Birley Haynes is too busy raising his children and running his family’s music academy to start a relationship. Then Harmony Holdich, his high school sweetheart, returns home to Willow Springs, Vermont for Christmas and falls into his bed. She brings light and fun back into his life, but he can’t brush aside the threatening incidents around his workplace.

Harmony hadn’t expected a complication like Birley, especially so soon after the death of her unfaithful husband. With her life a mess, she plans to move across the country and start over. All she can offer him is a fling, but her heart yearns for more.

When the threats rise, how will Birley keep his children safe and convince Harmony to give love another chance?

Excerpt

Dear God. His heart slammed harder. He’d died and gone to Heaven.

Harmony stretched her arms above her head and danced in the middle of the living room. Her hips pulsated with the beat of the music. Twisty locks of her hair bounced around her shoulders. She winked, then glided her hands across her breasts and stomach, daring his gaze to follow.

Birley licked his lips. The organ pressing against his zipper throbbed. Sweat slicked his nape. He dropped his scarf beside her purse, jacket, and beanie on the coffee table.

“Dance with me?”

Her husky entreaty ricocheted through him like a ping-pong ball. How could he deny her? He gripped her waist. She slid her arms around him. They swayed, their bodies a scant inch apart. She nuzzled his neck, her breath fanning his skin. His hair prickled. The air crackled around them. He shuddered and held her tighter.

“I’ve missed this.”

His chest heaved. He struggled to fill his lungs with air. “Dancing?”

“Dancing with you.” Harmony stroked his clean-shaven jaw. “I’m sorry things didn’t work out with you and Susannah, but I wouldn’t trade this moment for anything.”

Oh, God. He kissed her and swept his tongue past her parting lips. Delicious. The taste of chocolate and wine clung to her breath. He nibbled and licked the smooth slope of her neck.

“Birley, yes.” She ducked her head and claimed his mouth with hers. Then she feathered kisses across his face. “I need your hands, your mouth, your scent all over me. Take me, Birley. Hard, soft, I don’t care.”

Fuck. Her breathy plea wrapped around his heart and shot blood to his groin. She eased back, drawing him with her. The wall halted her retreat, and he trapped her between it and his body. Their tongues dueled and teeth clanked. Heat sizzled through his veins and pulsed through every organ. Her body writhed against his. Was she trying to drive him mad? He snapped open the fasteners of her pants and slid his finger beneath the waistband of her insulated leggings. Silk brushed his skin, then he slipped into her warmth.

Questions for the author:

Do you write in other genres?  

I write strictly in romance, but I do hop around in the sub-genres, which are: romantic suspense, thriller/police procedural, crime/mob, historical, time travel, western, and paranormal (the latter isn’t currently published). My work is mostly steamy.

What’s your favorite part of the writing life? 

I love research. It’s so much fun to learn about a new subject.

What does your writing space look like? 

I’m surrounded by shelves of romance books, knickknacks, encyclopedias, National Geographic magazines and non-fiction texts (history books—love!), a bulletin board, and a few stuffed animals. I have a hardwood desk, which I painted white after the top of it was damaged. I also painted flowers and ivy on the table legs.

Do you have any particular writing quirks? A special object, snack, music, etc. that helps you with your writing process?

I just need silence or background noise like white static or traffic. No music. The songs get stuck in my head, and I can’t concentrate.

Authors always seem to have a teetering To Be Read pile. What’s in yours?  

Oh boy. Do I have a list! Over a thousand ebooks are on my Kindle, and another few hundred print books are cluttering the shelves in my office. I probably won’t finish them all before I die (which I hope will be far, far into the future), but I’m still downloading more books when they’re free or on sale. I can’t help it.

What makes you put down a book without finishing?

I rarely ever stop reading a book once I start, no matter how much I dislike it, because I’m always hopeful the story will get better (which rarely happens). Even though I may not like or understand the characters or plot, I just gotta know what happens next or if everything will work out.

The main reading pet-peeves are: editing issues; cheating (even if it’s for a good reason, like saving the world); weak, whiny heroines; obsessively controlling heroes; the heroine’s best friend/sister who just won’t butt out; characters making stupid mistakes or forgiving another character without making said character grovel first. There are more, but those are the main ones sure to make me drop a star or two in the rating.
