He gave up his one true love, but now he has a chance to make things right. Let’s meet Birley Haynes from Harmony’s Embrace, a Romantic Suspense by Amber Daulton. Welcome to Romance Lives Forever.

Harmony’s Embrace by Amber Daulton
Genre: Holiday/Romantic Suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
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?
Birley Haynes
When someone dies, we say they “kicked the bucket.” Therefore, a list of things that a person wants to accomplish, places to go, situations to experience, and so on have become known as a “Bucket List.”
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Willow Springs, Vermont
Profession: Music teacher and manager of the Haynes Music Academy
Ethnicity: White
Please provide a physical description of yourself.
I have dark-blond hair that hangs around my face because I’ve been too busy to get it cut. I’m in pretty good shape even though I spend a lot of time in a desk chair, but good genes and luck won’t last forever. I’ve made a New Year’s resolution to go skiing at least once a week—okay, maybe once a month—this winter season to stay healthy. I’m just so busy at work, but hopefully, since I’ve finally hired a bookkeeper to help me out, I’ll be able to loosen up and get more activity.
Please tell us a little about yourself.
I play a mean saxophone. It’s my go-to instrument for when I need to relax, and I prefer jazz to any other kind of music. There’s just something about the deep riffs that really mellows me out. I also teach the instrument and several others to a group of kids who attend my family’s music school. Every time the students succeed, I feel a sense of accomplishment. I’m so proud of them.
I’m also the father to two wonderful kids, Andy and Kay. They’re my whole life. Everything I do, I do with their happiness, well-being, and future in mind. Without them, I wouldn’t be who I am. And who am I? I’m just a man who wants to give his kids a good life and enjoy some great music while I’m at it.
Who is the significant other in your life?
Harmony Holdich. I’ve been in love with her since we were kids, but a stupid fight when we were teenagers broke us up for thirteen long years. Even though I’m grateful I met my now ex-wife—I wouldn’t have my kids without her—I wish Harmony and I would’ve made amends sooner than we did.
Before she came back home to Willow Springs, she’d been living in Miami with her emotionally abusive husband. The hell she went through made her stronger. She’s definitely one of the strongest women I’ve ever met, right up there with my mom. I’m a lucky man to have Harmony back in my life.
If you haven’t made a bucket list before, perhaps now would be a good time. Who knows? It might inspire another book. While you’re at it, how about telling us about some of your other favorite things? Here are the questions.
What is your birth order?
I’m the oldest of three children. My sister, Ruby, is two years younger, and my brother, Dylan, is five years. I’ve always been the responsible one, always looking out for my wild siblings and making my parents proud. To be honest, I’m getting pretty tired of it.
Tell us about your favorite toy as a child.
I’m not sure I ever really had one. As soon as I learned to play the sax, I always had one in my hands. Action figures, plastic swords, video games…whatever, none of that stuff meant as much to me as the sax.
Describe your favorite food and how it’s prepared.
I’ll eat about anything, but Mom’s meat loaf is the best ever. She caramelizes the onion and other vegetables with the ground beef, and it just tastes freakin’ fantastic, especially with a huge dollop of ketchup.
Tell us about your best friend.
That’s Harmony. We’d been through so much together as kids—we met in kindergarten—and then more as adults. She understands me in ways no one else ever has. We finish each other’s sentences, and when faced with a problem, we usually think of the same answer at the same time. We’re in sync. But we weren’t always like this. Back when she still intended to move across the country and start her life over, I was racking my brain in ways to keep her around. I’m so relieved my efforts paid off.
What place would you like to visit before you die, and why?
Chicago, to see all the old jazz haunts from the 1950s and ’60s. Talk about a blast from the past. I’d be in seventh heaven surrounded by all that history and culture.
Who is someone you would like to meet, and why?
Miles Davis is my favorite musician. I’d love to treat him to lunch, pick his brain about music, and then have a jam session together. A dream come true!
Who is someone you would like to avoid, and why?
My ex-wife, Susannah. Hands down. After the crap she pulled the last time she stopped by, I could go the rest of my life never seeing her again, and it would still be too soon.
If you could time travel to any date, what would it be, and what would you do there?
I’d go to Chicago to meet Miles Davis back in his heyday. Harmony’s favorite jazz musician is John Coltrane, so I’d be taking her with me, and we’d have to visit John as well.
About Amber Daulton
I love reading romance books, and I write in various romance sub-genres because I can’t choose just one. That’s like choosing only one flavor of ice cream to eat for the rest of your life. Not possible. My favorite genres include: contemporary, romantic suspense, historical, time travel, and paranormal, though my paranormal books aren’t published yet.
What was your biggest challenge in writing this book?
Learning all the instrument and music lingo. I don’t play an instrument, though I would love to, so I had to learn all these phrases, words, parts of an instrument, keys and tones, and a bunch of stuff that was so confusing to me because I’ve never experienced it firsthand. The research I did to make this story and the characters sound believable was intense. I just hope readers will think I did the subject matter justice.
Why did you choose this character for the interview today?
I absolutely adore Birley. He’s a bit stodgy, but he’s a good man with a big heart. He’s been hurt, which is why he hides behind his professional, uptight wall, but I chose to let him speak today so he could spread his wings and relax a little. Harmony is the outgoing talker of their duo, so it was high-time Birley take the reins and speak his mind.
Are any sequels planned for this book?
This book is actually the sequel to another one, Lyrical Embrace, which features Birley’s brother, Dylan. Both books are standalones in the multi-author published series, the Deerbourne Inn. While there will be more books in the series from other authors, Harmony’s Embrace concludes my contribution to this sexy and sweet small town series.
What genre(s) would you like to write that you haven’t tried yet?
Sci/Fi. I have a few ideas, but no time to write them out. My writing schedule is full for the next few years.

Stressing Tomás Escobedo from No More Secrets by Fiona McGier #RLFblog #RomanticSuspense
Posing as a tutor in a rich household in Colombia is the cover for agent Tomás Escobedo to search for evidence to convict the dangerous drug lord who lives next door, in No More Secrets, a romantic suspense novel by Fiona McGier. But when the lead actress in the indie crew filming a movie there tells him she doesn’t believe that he’s a tutor–that he’s just acting like one–he fears his cover will be blown by the beautiful blonde and endanger both of them.
Let’s meet Tomás Escobedo from No More Secrets, a romantic suspense, by Fiona McGier. Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your latest book.
No More Secrets by Fiona McGier
Genre Romantic suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): Steamy R
Kelly, Raul, and Jared are making another movie together–this time in Colombia. Tomás is there, posing as a tutor, while trying to find the evidence to bust the drug lord who owns the mansion next door to the one they’re filming in. Kelly can’t figure out why his vibe doesn’t say tutor to her–until she figures out his secret. And he has no idea why she’s so quick to figure him out, until he learns about her ex-CIA mom, and ex-KGB step-father. They can’t fight their growing attraction to each other. Will it get them both killed? Or can they find their way to a happily-ever-after, once they have no more secrets from each other?
Stressing Tomás Escobedo
Every hero has a story. He has a background, a history, and a past. This interview allows us to meet a hero and get to know him better, by focusing on how he handles being relaxed, as well as how he handles stress.
Please tell me about your hero.
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Birthplace: A small town near Mexico City.
Profession: Secret Agent
Ethnicity: Mexican.
What does your hero look like?
He’s tall, over 6′, with dark brown hair that usually has a blond streak in the front. He has a gold hoop earring in his left ear. His eyes are very dark brown. He looks like a man who works out a lot, because he does. His body is a weapon that’s kept him alive for years.
Who is the significant other in his life?
Kelly Ann Sheridan, daughter of the heroine in Her Last Resort, book 3 in the Minnesota Romances series. She’s a blonde actress who first met her co-star, Raul Roderick, and their director, Jared Sorrenson, in the first book, For the Love of His Life. She’s vivacious and much more intelligent than most people think she is– she looks like Malibu Barbie, with a permanent tan, but has alert blue eyes.
The Hero’s Relaxed Side
This hero is at a party. Considering his story, describe the party.
There will be food and drink, and dancing–lots of dancing. Tomás likes nothing more than to get a female out on the dance-floor to show off his moves. Unfortunately, Kelly has no sense of rhythm. Even though this can throw off his style, he doesn’t care. He’ll be dancing with her until he has to drag her away so they can be alone.
How does the hero feel about being at this particular party, and what body language is he displaying that gives it away?
He’s spent many years perfecting his control over his body language, so you never know if his casual relaxed attitude is real, or just what he wants you to see. But if his woman is there and there’s dancing, he’ll be holding her closely, and he might let his guard slip and stop paying active attention to others around him. But he still will be alert to any signals that there is something going down.
Is he more likely to mingle or remain aloof?
He always studies a place out of habit, checking for exits and possible dangers. He mingles when he’s really relaxed. Otherwise, he acts casual while observing everyone and everything closely.
If he drinks, what is his drink of choice at this party?
He enjoys Mexican beer, when it matches the food. He also enjoys shots of expensive tequila. But he never drinks to excess, since he’s spent too many years being cautious.
How much drink is his usual?
Since he’s a tall, muscular man, he can drink more than others and still maintain his control over himself.
The hero figures out where the hiding places are and then goes there. Is it to hide, to avoid someone, or to go drag a friend back to the party?
He doesn’t hide–he faces danger head-on. He might drag Kelly off into a secret place so he can grope her, without an audience.
Is he likely to latch onto a friend and stay with him/her and ignore others, or is he the friend that others latch onto?
When he’s being himself, relaxed, he will stay with the people he trusts. When he’s in public with Kelly, he’s always at her side, to protect her from her public–some of whom get grabby sometimes. One look from him is usually enough to stop that.
If someone picked a fight at this party, how is the hero going to handle it?
He will end it. And the person who started the fight won’t be happy about how he does it.
Is the hero the one most likely to get tossed out of the party, or the one who does the tossing?
He does the tossing. He’s always in control of himself, so he never gets tossed out.
Will he know when to leave, or stay late and make a nuisance of himself?
He doesn’t stay long in public with Kelly, because he always wants to get her alone.
The Hero’s Stressed Out Side
How does the hero handle it if the cops or some other authority figure pulls him aside when he was blameless in a situation?
He will show them his IDs and explain who he works for. If he’s undercover, he’ll defend himself, using as little force as possible.
How does the hero react to hearing a scream?
He runs to check on it. He runs toward danger–it’s his job.
If he sees someone being assaulted, what is the FIRST thing that crosses his mind?
He assesses the threat and devises a plan to end the violence as quickly as possible, while attracting a minimum of attention.
If he sees someone being assaulted, what is the FIRST thing he does?
He acts on his plan and stops the assault.
This hero attempts to rescue someone and realizes that he is in over his head. The odds are against him and there is no way out. He is going to get his butt handed to him. What does he do?
This has never happened to Tomás. His training has always saved him.
The hero runs into the one person from his past he wanted to avoid. He can’t get out of the situation and must interact in some way. What does he do?
He’s polite but coldly terse. And he’ll excuse himself as soon as possible.
Someone younger than the hero is in charge of the situation, and they are handling it badly, perhaps bungling things. How does the hero deal with it?
He wouldn’t hesitate to take over and ensure that the outcome is favorable for himself, as well as any innocents involved. He’ll deal with hurt feelings once the danger has passed.
The hero is in physical pain but must bear up under it and keep going. What does he tell himself in order to get through the situation?
That he will get out of this, as he has so many other situations that seemed hopeless. He’s got a good track record of getting out of tight spots, so he’s confident.
What mentor’s words come to mind in a bad situation?
No one thing special, but he’s got a lot of respect for his handler, Malcolm, who has never steered him wrong.
What lesson from his past gets him through a stressful situation?
He’s always been able to get himself out of tight spots, so no matter how tough things get, he’s supremely confident that he can escape–especially now that he has Kelly to return to.
What one thing would you like readers to know about your hero?
He was introduced to readers as a young agent in Undercover Lovers. He thought he was in love with the heroine, Ameena. But he was too young to understand that he was just jealous because she chose his older partner over him. Since that hadn’t ever happpened to him before, he took it badly. He used to be open to assignations with any combination of females and males–he enjoyed sensuality in many forms. But now that he’s older, he’s ready to settle down. He just didn’t realize it until he met Kelly.

I sub in high schools during the school year. Otherwise I’m writing and blogging about my books–and reading and writing reviews. Not only do I write erotic romance, I love to read it too. I often read while camping with my long-time HEA. Our four adult kids sometimes join us. I also enjoy sewing–mostly masks these days– crocheting afghans to keep my loved ones warm, and baking–cookies, muffins, and especially pies. I’m known for my never-fail pie crust, so I put the recipe on my website under the pies tab, along with some of my family’s favorites, that I featured in one of my books that had a heroine who baked lots of pies.

Bernadette Jones has been making up stories since she learned to read on her daddy’s lap. She has imagined casts of characters everywhere she’s called home: Texas, Oregon, South Dakota, Nebraska, Illinois, Massachusetts and now New York.
Books and music filled her life as she, her dad and two brothers traveled the country. She would sit in the back seat of the car (her older brother always got to ride shotgun), listening to the current music on the radio, looking out the window and spinning a story based on a phrase or word she’d heard in the lyrics.
