ABOUT AMBER LEE
Amber Lee is a debut author of steamy contemporary romance, she writes stories full of tension, swoon, and just the right amount of spice. Whether it’s billionaires or swoon-worthy athletes, her stories always deliver the kind of chemistry you can feel—and characters who stay with you long after the final page.
She loves exploring messy, magnetic relationships between flawed but deeply relatable characters, set in fictional worlds that feel like a dream you never want to wake up from. Her debut novel, Call It Hope, is the first in a four-book series of standalones, each tied together by heart, heat, and a whole lot of feels.
When she’s not writing, you’ll find her binge-watching ‘90s sitcoms or rewatching her favorite 2000s rom-coms (hello How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days). She’s a sucker for strawberry lemonade, never says no to sushi and considers a trip to Devoción Coffee in NYC the definition of a perfect day. Her go-to snack? Strawberries with Nutella or a loaded açaí bowl with bananas and honey. She’s also a proud frequent flyer at Barnes & Noble (because how could you not be?), and if you catch her there, she’s probably in the romance section—just “browsing,” of course.
Being in her presence felt like being bathed by the purest kind of sunlight. A light that shone through the grayest clouds, it felt liberating and vibrant... hopeful even. I didn't usually use the word hope. I saw no true meaning to it until now. In this moment, I realized that she was my salvation, even though I wasn't worth saving.

CALL IT HOPEI'd ever been a fan of the color gold. I never liked how sweet honey tasted on my tongue. But her eyes; those beautiful, otherworldly creations made me think otherwise. They were sunlight and honey. They were raw and lovely; they could never tell a lie. They were the sunshine heating the dark, twisted world. They were everything.
