Around the Fire with Prolific Author Amber Daulton and her upcoming release Lost in his Spider Webs.

When I first began my writing journey one of the first people I met was today's guest. We both had the same publisher, The Wild Rose Press. Since then both of us have continued writing. I've enjoyed several of Ambers stories, especially the Arresting Onyx series. She also became a lifeline to me helping tighten up my books and making sure they were the best they could be. Welcome back Amber. I'm pleased to have you Around the Fire once again. 

Hello, everyone. 
First of all, I want to thank D.V. Stone for letting me visit her blog today. I’m excited to be here. She asked if I would share a little about myself and my hobbies, so here goes… 
Even though I’m from the southern United States, I don’t sound like it. When people first meet me, they typically think I’m from England or even France (and yes, I’ve been asked to speak French, which I don’t know) because I don’t have a southern drawl. Instead, my voice is more smooth and, I daresay, lyrical. I’ve been getting the “Where are you from?” question since I was in elementary school, and kids can be quite cruel. Luckily, the questions and funny looks have never bothered me. I take sounding different as a matter of pride.
As for hobbies, my husband, Greg, and I love binge-watching TV shows—our favorite is Supernatural (go Team Sam!)—and we often borrow movies and shows from the library. Besides that, I like to read, toil in my herb bed, hike in the woods behind our house, and play with our kitties. I used to spend a lot of time creating scrapbooks, but it’s something that fallen to the wayside lately. I really need to get back into it.
Most days, you’ll find me hard at work on my computer, writing or editing or creating book covers either for myself or clients. My book cover creation side gig—Satin Rose Designs—is a lot of fun. I’ve added a photo of my kitty, Pepper, hanging out with me as I’m working on a cover. In the evening is when I relax and indulge in some of my hobbies.
Now, I’m super excited to share my upcoming release with you. Lost in His Spiderwebs is my twentieth book to date. That’s right! I’ve finally reached the big 2-0! Keep reading to check it out.

Lost in His Spiderwebs
Lozano Cartel (book 2)
by
Amber Dalton

Release Date: October 14, 2025

The cartel king has finally found his queen.

Note from D.V. this is not your Hallmark type of book. It's gritty. And if that's not your cup of tea, then reading further is on you.
From the author. Genre: Dark Romance~ Heat Rating: 5 Flames. – Scenes featuring forced seduction, drug distribution, torture/violence, kidnapping/captivity, and attempted sexual assault may be uncomfortable for some readers.

Back cover
Kidnapped by the enemy. Bought by the jefe. Will his smoldering touch thaw her frozen heart?

Rubén Lozano, the new leader of the Lozano Cartel, craves peace amidst a legacy of bloodshed and death. He never expected to find his ex-lover, Drina Cabrera, in the clutches of his vicious rivals. Her haunted eyes compel him to rescue her, but freeing her is another matter.
After five months of captivity, Drina trades one captor for another. Though she succumbs to Rubén’s masterful touch, the bittersweet memory of her daughter and the life she was stolen from is a constant wedge between them.
When Rubén’s darkest secret comes out, he will have to wash his hands in crimson. Will Drina let her king face the danger alone, or stand at his side as his cartel queen?
– Book two in the dark romance series, the Lozano Cartel. All the books can be read as a standalone, but are part of an interconnected series.

Words between the covers.
“Smile,” Rubén told her. “It’s showtime.”
She nodded and lifted her chin, wincing a little in the flashing camera lights.
As three hand-picked paparazzi snapped pictures of him and Drina from all angles, Rubén counted to thirty before he steered Drina past them to the music room.
“Wow,” Drina murmured as they passed the piano for the ballroom.
A massive chandelier gleamed from the lofty ceiling, its decorative crystals reflecting the soft white light and dancing spots across the ivory walls and the chattering, laughing guests. The live band played instrumental music at the far end of the rectangular room, where Esme’s team had set up fancy tables and chairs for the speech and dinner portion of the evening.
“Why do you keep this room locked up? It’s magnificent.”
He shrugged.  “It’s a bitch to clean.”
His blunt answer steepled Drina’s eyebrows. “My, what consideration. I’m sure the housekeeping staff appreciates it,” she teased and pulled him onto the dance floor alongside several other couples. “Let’s dance.”
As her arms slid around his shoulders, he rested his hands on her waist. Her body heat and strawberry aroma enveloped him. Groaning, he gripped the thick fabric of her dress so hard that it bunched and the band of his rings bit into his skin. She rested her head against his chest, and her hair teased his nose. They swayed, lost in each other as though they were the only people around. A foolish notion, one he shouldn’t revel in. If he did, he would ravage her on the floor.
“You have a good turnout,” she murmured while he twirled her about. She spun back into his embrace. “Are any of these people your friends?”
“Hardly.” This was his world. Glamour, power, prestige. The public mask he wore to hide his sinister nature. “You’re swimming in dangerous waters. The sooner you realize I can buy and discard all these sharks and guppies with a flick of my wrist, the better off you’ll be.”
“I’m well aware you’re king of the sharks.”
He snorted, holding her closer. “You’re a barracuda. Lithe grace and sharp teeth.”
“Ooh, I like that.” She nipped at his chin. “I’ll never be a guppy.”
Damn right. As the song ended, he guided her off the dance floor. Duty called.
