Writing Romantic Suspense – #Preorder #Giveaway #RomanticSuspense @AmberDaulton1

 

By Amber Daulton (Guest Blogger)

The phrase “Wrong place, wrong time” takes on a whole new meaning for Chanel Leroc, the heroine from my latest romantic suspense novella, Ryan’s Temptation. When she accidentally catches a serial killer with a knife in his hand and his latest victim bleeding out on the ground, her life turns upside down. All her hopes and dreams vanish. Only survival matters. Even though her new neighbor, Ryan, comes to her rescue, she lands on the killer’s hit list and has to go into Witness Protection. Ryan goes with her for his own safety, but keeping her hands off him is going to prove just as difficult as escaping the clutches of the madman after them.

I had such a blast writing this book. It’s about 50% romance and 50% suspense, which I’m quite proud off because normally my books lean a bit more toward the romance aspect than the suspense.

Romantic suspense books are my favorite to read and write. I love when the danger element weaves seamlessly with the romance, and I’m always eager to solve the mystery of who’s doing what or what’s going to happen next. More than anything, I love character development and emotional drama, which really ramps up when trouble is brewing.

Ryan’s Temptation has been with Into The Fire, a limited edition romantic suspense box set, for the past six months, but now the set is no longer on sale. No worries, though! I’m excited to announce the individual release of Ryan’s Temptation, which will hit the digital shelves on August 9^th. It’s now available for pre-order, so reserve your copy at the low price of 99 cents.

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?

 

 

Excerpt

He deepened the kiss and danced the tango with her tongue. Her sweet cherry taste rocketed through him. Yes! Delicious. Her breathy gasp filled his lungs as he trailed his hands to the hot skin poking out between the hem of her top and her waistband.

Chanel clutched him close and feathered kisses across his jawline. “More. Touch me.”

Fucking hell. He backed her against the stove and claimed her mouth again. She pressed her soft breasts to his chest and tugged on his hair. The burning in his scalp thickened his cock. The inferno racing through him blazed hotter as he squeezed her supple ass.

She gasped and ripped her mouth from his.

He fisted her long, silky hair. The shudder rolling through him stopped his heart, then jump-started the organ. He unbuttoned her pants and stroked the hem of her cotton panties.

“Ryan.” She gyrated against him, breathing hard. “We shouldn’t.”

“You don’t have a boyfriend, do you?”

“Of course not. I wouldn’t be here with you if I did.”

He suckled the smooth skin of her neck. “I’ve wanted you since I saw you lugging boxes to your apartment.”

She gripped his back. “Why didn’t you say something?”

He thrust his erection over her belly. “I thought you might’ve been dating one of the men helping you.” Though he hadn’t seen either of those men in the building since Chanel moved in. One of them reminded him of someone, as though they’d met before, but he couldn’t place him.

“Mason and Jim are both engaged to their better halves. You had nothing to worry about.” She tilted her head back as he licked the line of her throat. “We need a—”

“I won’t hurt you.” He clasped her flushed cheek and treasured her kiss-swollen lips.

“Ooh, I know, but…” She shifted out of his hold.

He groaned. No! Why? He gulped and lifted his hand to calm her. “Chanel, I like you a lot. I didn’t mean to insult you about being a beautician, I swear. You must like me, too, or you wouldn’t have kissed me back.” Please, God. He needed release. This sexy woman had twisted him into a pretzel.

“Do you have a condom?”
