Elizabeth Amber\u2019s<\/em><\/a> new June release is Dane, The Lords of Satyr,<\/strong> an erotic historical paranormal romance, which has been awarded an RT Book Reviews Top Pick!<\/strong> We\u2019re giving away an autographed copy to one randomly-chosen commenter.<\/p>\n

Digging for stories in the Roman Forum<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Are there certain settings you particularly like to read about in romance novels? For me, the time and place that fascinates is 19th century Italy.<\/p>\n

Not long ago, my husband and I took a lengthy dream vacation to Italy and parts of France and Greece. The time I spent in the Roman Forum whetted my appetite to write about it. My June release, Dane, begins a new trilogy with my Lords of Satyr series. The earlier books–Nicholas, Raine, and Lyon–belong to Tuscany, circa 1823. A new cast of brothers, Dane, Bastian, and Sevin\u2014each with a new set of agendas–are now in Rome, circa 1880s, during the time Queen Victoria ruled England.<\/p>\n

The city of Rome sits about 25 feet higher than it did when the Forum was first built. Why? Because over centuries, it has been built and torn down and rebuilt again, as the city grew and changed and as political and theological tides changed. Out with the old gods and in with the new, then the newer. New temples had to be built; old ones torn down. And the nearby Tiber River regularly deposited sediment, raising the ground level. But the Forum was once the grand center of Rome. Ancient Romans shopped there. The Senate was there. Major temples and shrines, too. The prison.<\/p>\n

In fact, I chose the Forum\u2019s dank, claustrophobic Mamertine Prison as the site where Dane goes searching for clues to his missing brother. Dane has a fear of closed-in spaces and is anxious to be out of there quickly. (I know how he feels.) Unfortunately for him, he is waylaid by a blackmailing society matron who has a wedding on her mind. This prison was originally a cistern\u2014a place to store rainwater. Only very important prisoners were housed there. Some were put to death and secretly flushed out to the Tiber River via a secret waterway. It\u2019s a creepy, molding place, so of course I had to include it!<\/p>\n

\"\"The arch of Septimius Severus is well-preserved compared to much of the Forum. It\u2019s an impressive, recognizable icon. If I were arranging a meeting in the Forum ruins, it\u2019s a place I might choose because it\u2019s huge and easy to spot. I chose this as the location where the heroine, Eva, arranges a meeting with a \u201cgentleman\u201d she hopes will prove to be the satyr father that abandoned her pregnant mother twenty-two years earlier.<\/p>\n

I put Dane\u2019s oldest brother Bastian in charge of the Forum excavations. Because I\u2019m the author, I get to do cool things like. I gave the brothers lavish homes and businesses on three of the seven famous hills that surround the Forum. Dane is in charge of the family\u2019s ancestral olive grove on Aventine Hill, where family secrets are closely guarded.<\/p>\n

This is where Eva first meets Dane. It\u2019s a Calling night. A time when the satyr change physically in a carnal ritual devoted to the Roman god of wine. (The satyr are the followers of Bacchus in mythology.)<\/p>\n

Both have secrets.<\/p>\n

Eva hides the fact that she is the only female satyr in existence.<\/p>\n

And the secret of Dane\u2019s missing brother\u2019s whereabouts is locked within his mind, hoarded by an alternate personality.<\/p>\n

\"\"It\u2019s now the 1880s and the forum digs are in high gear. Discoveries made there threaten to expose the satyr and their kind. By hiding what they are, the satyr have managed to live among humans throughout Italy for centuries. But things are changing. Dane and his two remaining brothers must entrench themselves in Roman society as thoroughly as possible. And that means taking human wives.<\/p>\n

Who better to find a human wife for Dane, than an ElseWorld matchmaker? He thinks it will be a simple matter. He\u2019ll request an uncomplicated wife, and will be presented with one. But when he visits the matchmaker, he encounters her strange household, which includes a greedy pixie, a gimlet-eyed maidservant, and two orphaned fey children \u2026<\/p>\n

Excerpt from Dane, The Lords of Satyr<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Dane sat across from the occupant of the desk, genuinely intrigued by her as he hadn\u2019t been by a woman for as long as he could remember. He hadn\u2019t given any thought to what he\u2019d expected a matchmaker and her premises would be like, but he was certain that if he had, he could not have imagined this. For there was nothing at all expected about this room and its bizarre occupants. <\/em><\/p>\n

In the garden, he\u2019d been briefly interrogated before being invited inside by the diminutive, stocky man who appeared to have more than a few drops of pixie blood in him. In true pixie fashion, the fellow was fixated on matters of finance and had discussed the matchmaker\u2019s exorbitant fee even as he lead him to this salon. A mulatto serving woman had arrived next, her face dour and suspicious, her blood so mixed that it was impossible to discern her ancestry even with his gifted nose. Likely over a dozen ElseWorld species had gone into the witch\u2019s brew that had spawned her. <\/em><\/p>\n

Then had come the return of the two little girls who\u2019d admitted him to the garden to begin with. They sat together on the carpet now, the older one sketching, and the younger one playing with a toy steam locomotive and making soft chugging noises. <\/em><\/p>\n

And finally he\u2019d been confronted with this mysterious woman\u2014Mademoiselle Evangeline Delacorte she called herself. The matchmaker. Seated opposite her with a desk between them, he studied every detail of her without appearing to. A trick he\u2019d learned during his days as a Tracker. <\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"She resembled an ancient Egyptian scryer, with kohl around her eyes, rings on every finger, and bangles thick at both wrists. What sort of female wore a provocative ball gown to conduct business, other than a courtesan? A tangle of necklaces draped her bosom\u2014her opulent bosom. It was a physical aspect of a woman that he particularly admired, and hers was of a dimension that stirred him. He shifted in his chair, causing its leather to creak, and looked away. Were he to become too enchanted with her charms, it would be tantamount to an outright invitation to Dante \u2013his other self– to join him in his skin. <\/em><\/p>\n

The moment she\u2019d come into the room, the matchmaker had ducked her head and quickly located a gauzy veil, which she\u2019d draped over her head and shoulders. While it was transparent and did almost nothing to obscure her features, some form of magic had been woven into it, for he found that when he looked away, he couldn\u2019t recall her face. But stranger still was the fact that her scent was so elusive that he couldn\u2019t quite make out what species she was. This above all piqued his curiosity. In ElseWorld, his ability to distinguish one scent from another was legendary. However, here he felt as if something within him were purposely interfering with his ability to read hers. She and her entourage presented a puzzle. Something he\u2019d never been able to resist. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve come to me seeking a bride?\u201d It was the second time the woman had asked him the same question. It was rhetorical. The scroll the Council had sent to his brothers lay on the desk before her, bristling with ElseWorld magic and her address upon it plain to see. Her fingers stroked its edges restlessly. She was nervous. Which usually meant someone was hiding something. <\/em><\/p>\n

Dane crossed one booted ankle over his opposite knee and crossed his arms. \u201cNo, I come to you seeking a foreman for my grove.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The older girl glanced up from her drawing. \u201cBut Mademoiselle doesn\u2019t locate foremen,\u201d she informed him with a seriousness that sat strangely on one so young. \u201cShe finds brides.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Mimi, who\u2019d driven her train beneath the matchmaker\u2019s desk, peered out at him and nodded. The serving woman squirmed on the corner chair where she sat with her mending. The girls\u2019 precocious behavior irritated her, and it was clear to him that she had no great affection for them.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThen I suppose I\u2019ll have to settle for a bride instead.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
