“A master of her craft.” —Maggie Shayne  

London’s diversions hold no charm for Roan Cabrera. Despite his reputation as a scoundrel, he’s in high demand among the city’s most eligible young women. And though their blood can quench his undying thirst, none of them can fill the emptiness in his centuries-old soul. He finds solace only in easing the pain of those near death—by helping them relive their most cherished memories …
 
The last thing Kathryn Winterbourne remembers is being struck by a carriage. When she awakens in a luxurious bed, she feels like she must have died and gone to heaven. But the man who has saved her is no angel. With his penetrating eyes, the darkly handsome Roan looks more like the devil himself. And when Kathryn is confronted with the truth about her mysterious hero, she’ll have to decide whether to shutter her heart against him—or give in to the thrill of his love …
 
Praise for Amanda Ashley and Twilight Dreams

“A tender paranormal romance exploring love and family ties, and it’s tinged with intrigue and vengeance. . . . This portrait of new love is sweet and endearing.”
—Publishers Weekly
 
“Author Ashley is no stranger to paranormal romance … Intriguing.”
—Kirkus Reviews
 
“Master storyteller Amanda Ashley weaves a classic vampire tale of sensual, spine tingling suspense.”
—Christine Feehan

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I write paranormal romances for Zebra Books, and I love it. Most of my stories are about vampires because, I admit, I'm fascinated by them. I also admit I don't like most vampire movies. I'm not really into blood and gore in living color on the big screen.

I also write historical romances as Madeline Baker, many of which have been reissued on Kindle with new covers.

I've written over 80 books, many of which have appeared on various Bestseller lists.

Anyone who knows me also knows I love all things Star Wars, Phantom, and Beauty and the Beast.

We have an adorable Pomeranian named Lady, a mischievous cat named Kitty and a tortoise who remains nameless.

My favorite authors are Lee Child, C.S. Harris, and Patricia Briggs.

Another great story by Amanda Ashley, it is well written with a very good storyline. I now want to check and see where I left this series off, and instead of paperbacks start getting eBooks instead. Roan Cabrera and Kathryn Winterbourne's story, that kept me turning page.

Roan Cabrera a vampire who had lived by hundred years, live in a quiet town in England in the 19th century. He was from Spain where he was turned and his fiancée was murdered by Pascual a vampire who was friend but murder Roan love because he wants her and she choose Roan. He visit a hospital and see the patients who are at verge of death. They are in coma and he connects with them and he helps to remember the most happiest memories. Mrs Amanda Ashley never fail me as writer her stories are interesting the development of the story, the characters struggle with their issues are very emotional. Kathryn is a young woman from a farm to relocated to London searching for more opportunities to do a better life. She can not find a decent living , she is working in a house that is not good reputation . She run away and in the street she is hit ny a a couched. Roan saves her life and she is in the hospital and he save her with his blood. The issues here is that Roan take her to to his manor but she doesn’t know his real nature. The main problem is Pascual his nemesis show up and goes in a killing spree and besides a hunter appears at scene and complicated the story. All the Pascual victims are closed to Roan and he is not happy because the other vampire is in his territory and becoming a big problem for him and Kathryn. Kathryn does not know Roan is a vampire when Pascual appear to bth Roan has no choice to tell Kathryn who he is and the danger is the vampire. Really the story must be reading the books is long many more characters will show up. Pascual a vampire who is like the plague becomes killing Roan employee a young boy and also to made matters more difficult for Roan and Kathryn her mother appears also. What a mesh. I gave five starts and recommended this book. If you like vampires with romance, intrigues, diffult situations were the characters emotions are very important then this is your book.
