February 2000
They'd given him a number and taken away his name. Taken his freedom, his
home, his family. Everything that made life worth living. But they couldn't
take hope...and she came to him looking like an angel with hair the color of
silver moonlight and eyes the color of a turbulent sea. She tenderly treated
his wounds while he lay in darkness, giving him the will to go on.
But when her father took him from the mine to work on his lavish estate, a
new torture faced the prisoner. Daily he was forced into contact with the
innocent young beauty, yearning for just one taste of her pouting pink lips.
Now, instead of his savior, she became his tormentor as she frolicked in the
pool, flirted with other men, teased him beyond endurance. Until one wild
night when the world turned upside down and a daring escape made slave at
long last master, and mistress...THE CAPTIVE

Heart of Darkness
In all his four hundred years, Rayven had never met a woman like Rhianna McLeod. She was a vision of light, of warmth, of everything he was not - nor could ever be. Doomed to
live forever in darkness and solitude, he knew all too well the risk in getting close to her, yet he hungered for her with a fierce passion he swore he’d never allow himself to feel.
Rhianna’s father had sold her to Rayven to put food on the table -so she had no choice but to go with the dark stranger. To her surprise, he gave her everything she wanted -the finest clothes, education, and the run of the castle - everything, that is, except his touch. For although she sensed danger beneath his soft-spoken manner, although even Rayven himself warned her away, she was drawn to this creature of the night, and loved him as she would not other.
ROMANTIC TIMES said, Amanda Ashley is a masterful storyteller. This novel is so rich in sensuality and imagery that readers will be entranced by this haunting tale of a vampire who finds love too late and the woman who may save him from the darkness. This is one keeper to put alongside Maggie Shayne and Linda Lael Miller.

two books in one 1/97
SUNLIGHT
He came from across the universe - a tawny, powerful stranger more perfect than any mere mortal. Yet when Micah crash-landed on earth, not even his boundless strength could help him resist the temptations of one stunning beauty. Trapped on a world not his own, tracked by enemies bent on destroying him, Micah fought to preserve his very life even as he ached to claim the love that would take him to heaven and beyond.
MOONLIGHT
Long had Navarre dwelt in darkness, yearning to end his cursed solitude. A vampire doomed to eternal night, he had searched through the ages for a woman brave enough to desire him, a lover bold enough to embrace him. And when Navarre at last found her, he swore that together they would savor the joys of undying ecstasy and surrender the dawn.
The townsfolk of Moulton Bay said there was something otherworldly about Alexander Claybourne. Some people whispered that, with his dark arresting features and mesmerizing eyes, the seductive stranger looked every inch a vampire. They never guessed how near the truth they were - or that after more than two hundred years of resisting temptation, Claybourne had found a woman he had to possess.
Never one to be scared off by superstitious lore, Kara Crawford laughed at the local talk of creatures lurking in the dark. What harm could come of befriending the handsome stranger with the haunted look in his midnight eyes? No matter what shadowy secrets Alexander hid, Kara felt drawn to him, compelled to join him beneath the silver light of the moon, where they would share a love DEEPER THAN THE NIGHT.
HARRIET KLAUSNER said DEEPER THAN THE NIGHT is an excellent vampire romance due to the successful mixing of research science, medicine, the supernatural, and Ayn Rand-like moral questions into an exciting story line. On top of Amanda Ashley’s terrific plot and great characterizations, curiosity will compel readers to desire a sequel starring the lead protagonists children. (America Online review)
ROMANTIC TIMES said, The very versatile Amanda Ashley does a wonderful job with this exciting, unusual twist on the vampire/alien myths. A fast-paced and fun-filled read!
Embrace The Night
8/95
Master of Darkness
A creature doomed to wander the earth in eternal darkness, he searched the ages for someone to share the endless night of his existence, for that one woman who would recognize the man within the monster.
Mistress of Light
An angel of purity and sunlight, she feared the mysterious stranger whose eyes promised endless ecstasy even as he whispered dark secrets she dared not believe.
They were two people longing for fulfillment, braving the danger of a love like no other. Alone, they faced desolation and despair; together, they would share undying passion, defy eternity, and EMBRACE THE NIGHT.
ROMANTIC TIMES said, Sensuous! Mesmerizing! Electrifying! Ms. Baker’s Amanda Ashley pseudonym makes a dazzling debut with a new vampire novel in the tradition of Maggie Shayne and Nancy Gideon. EMBRACE THE NIGHT is a heart-wrenching tale of a tortured hero who loves deeply and the one woman who is not afraid of the beast but adores the man within. This is a "must read" for all vampire romance fans.
AFFAIRE DE COEUR said, EMBRACE THE NIGHT is a fast-paced, delicious vampire romance filled with two fantastic lead protagonists. Amanda Ashley, who, as Madeline Baker, is noted for her thrilling western romances, successfully changes genres and shows that her work remains top rate in anything she does.
Shades Of Grey

As you can see, Pino has done it again,
but then, IMHO, he's the best cover artist in the business.....
Alexi
Bound by chains of silver, the vampire had slept for a hundred years, locked in a world of pain and hunger until the seductive scent of one woman’s blood recalled him to ravenous life.
Marisa
Unnerved by the sight of the carnival’s captive "vampire", she stumbled from the tend and into the arms of the most striking man she had ever seen. Mesmerized by his supernatural embrace, she believed him when he swore all he desired to drink were her kisses.
Grigori
Lost in darkness, Grigori found new sustenance in the light of Marisa’s love, a new purpose in his life, for only he could protect her from the evil that stalked the night. Now, hungering for her bittersweet caress, he vowed to show her that not all of the undead were monsters, and that, somewhere between the black and white of damnation and desire lay infinite SHADES OF GRAY.
ROMANTIC TIMES SAYS....Amanda Ashley enriches the vampire genre with this breathtaking and timeless story of star-crossed lovers.
HARRIET KLAUSNER SAID SHADES OF GRAY is one of the best vampire romances to emerge in a long time. The characters make the novel feel very authentic to the point that readers will believe. However, it is the unique story line that showcases a love (hate) rectangular series of relationships that demonstrate why awesome author, Amanda Ashley, is one of the leading writers of supernatural romance.
