Frozen In Amber

Amber Tregannis spends her days defending wealthy sociopaths for her grandfather's prestigious law firm. She spends her nights working hard to avoid transforming into a Wer Cougar. As much as she enjoys the wild freedom of a hunt, she is petrified of the violence and mayhem she might inflict on innocent people.
She does not trust easily and has few friends. The few people she associates with regularly are not part of the Wer community.
Then one night when she can't suppress her need to run free under a full moon she is hunted.
The aftermath forces her to walk a delicate tightrope between her two worlds and confront her fears. Only then can she find the courage to face rogue Wer and trusted Veterinarians. Have they found a cure for the curse of the Wer, or do they doom her people to a half-life of indecision and weakness where they are now the prey

Irene Radford has been writing stories ever since she figured out what a pencil was for. A member of an endangered species-a native Oregonian who lives in Oregon-she and her husband make their home in Welches, Oregon where deer, bears, coyotes, hawks, owls, and woodpeckers feed regularly on their back deck.
A museum trained historian, Irene has spent many hours prowling pioneer cemeteries deepening her connections to the past. Raised in a military family she grew up all over the US and learned early on that books are friends that don't get left behind with a move. Her interests and reading range from ancient history, to spiritual meditations, to space stations, and a whole lot in between.
Mostly Irene writes fantasy and historical fantasy including the best-selling Dragon Nimbus Series. In other lifetimes she writes urban fantasy as P.R. Frost and space opera as C.F. Bentley.
