A little about Amber Anthony...


Amber Anthony is the pen name for Nancy Reynolds and Rusty Hough Bader.

 

Years ago Theatre was Nancy's career and Rusty was a Dance and Performance major at the University of South Florida. They met through their love of British history. After a day's long tour through Hampton Court in London they dreamed of an immortal from the Tudor era, Maxwell Older. Their genre drama short script was an earlier Las Vegas Film Festival winner.

 

After developing several scripts of note, they directed their talents toward writing Paranormal Romance with an emphasis on magical realism in their ‘undead’. They developed their own mythology of day-walking undead bent on delivering the perfect bite to satisfy their mortal donors. Vamps have to eat somewhere, right?

 

As the two of them have lived in a variety of cities and they travel together, their next book was a Contemporary Romance based in Baltimore, Maryland with themes of redemption and renewal. Their newest series, Roman Adventures, begins with a law enforcement team led by a Navy SEAL. This series travels to world to culminate on the sunny beaches of Waikiki.

They write Magical Realism in our Paranormal, Metaphysical, and Contemporary Romances. They have expanded their library to include New Adult through Seasoned Romance. Amber Anthony is a member of Central Ohio Fiction Writers.

 

Their Alpha males are heroes for today. Their heroines are quick on their feet and clever as the devil.

Blood Rising

Drop dead gorgeous alive, Matt Brenner has never lacked for feminine attention. Undead, he's even more potent. Immortality would be stellar if only he accepted his life as a vampire. Matt and fellow vamp Richard Hiatt created a empire catering to Vampire/Doms and willing donor/subs who trade sexual ecstasy for blood. The clubs have made Matt's existence manageable, if uninspired.

Inspiration comes in the form of Catherine Temple.

Matt's made it a rule not to get emotionally involved with human women, and he sticks to it. Cat is the woman who can entice him to break all the rules. When Matt is introduced to a controversial drug that allows him a human lifetime with Cat, it's too exquisite to resist.

Powerful elements of the vampire nation are against it, and though Matt tries to protect Cat, love must be stronger than death.

Blood Emerald

SDV (Single Dom Vampire) unknowingly ISO compassionate, sincere, spontaneous SMW (Single Mortal Woman). Extra points for patience, brains, and beauty. Handsome, powerful, Rick Hiatt has managed romance and sex within the roles of Dom/sub relationships for five hundred years. What if there is something more? What if the delicious Anna Curley, shielded from the world of dark sex games, can show him?

Rick returns to the helm of his international vampire feeding empire after confronting a disaster within his vampire Family. His nemesis, Veronique Moreau, could destroy the fragile veil between the Vamp/Mortal worlds, leaving vampires exposed. He meets Anna, a guileless young woman with enough savvy to see trouble coming in the form of a vampire hunter.

Their worlds collide. Swept into the dangers of preternatural conflict, Rick and Anna experience exquisite passion, and heart-stopping peril. Is love enough? They could lose their lives as well as their hearts.

Blood Dragon

Adam Lachlan, a tall drink of scrumptious masculinity, has been exiled from his dragon-shifter clan for the past two hundred years. His bad-boy charm has been harnessed to succeed as a Master Dom in the mortal world. He's spent decades isolating himself emotionally.

Willow Greer is beautiful, intelligent and charming. Men have pursued her, but she's flown from them all. Willow has a secret burden. Adopted in infancy, and having no explanation for shifting into a Pegasus at puberty, she's cloistered herself romantically. Without knowing the full truth of her nature, how can she commit to love?

When Adam's fire meets Willow's short fuse, flirtation is on! At the onset, secrets are guarded, but once their true selves are revealed, the complications begin. Can they overcome the problems of romance between different shifter species? Will they drop their emotional baggage and risk love's bondage?

Without Kameo, Jax would not be free to topple the depraved cartel.

Roman's Rules

A complicated situation...

Kirk Roman knows he is the reason his relationship with Jordan Perry has never gotten to first base. His insecurity has been an ongoing barrier between them — until the day a sultry woman with her eye on him makes him re-evaluate his feelings for Jordan.

Jordan Perry is a fighter — and she is a survivor. She thought being widowed at thirty-seven was the worst that could happen until her diagnosis seven years ago. Clean, cleared, but scarred from her battle with breast cancer, Jordan silently dreams of the one man who has kept her going — Kirk Roman.

Kirk's inner battle with his desire to date Jordan isn't only about his insecurities. Jordan is a friend and an employee — two things he doesn't want to jeopardize. What he doesn't expect is the arrival of his estranged adult son and his wife.

The complications escalate when the sultry woman after him has a murderous past. Will all this kill his chance of finally telling Jordan how he really feels about her?
