Ann Dunbar is an award-winning author of emotionally gripping romantic suspense featuring strong characters, second chances, and love that refuses to give up—even when danger closes in.
Originally from the mountains of West Virginia and now living in Calgary, Alberta, Ann has always been drawn to stories about resilience: people who have been knocked down by life but find the courage to stand again, often with a little help from the people who love them.
That love of resilient characters inspired Bet's Christmas Gamble. Bet Murphy has spent years hiding pieces of herself, convinced that staying invisible is the safest way to protect both her independence and her heart. Garrett Hawthorn has loved her long enough to know that she's worth waiting for. Their story gave Ann the opportunity to explore friendship that grows into something deeper, the vulnerability of finally allowing yourself to be truly seen, and the courage it takes to trust someone with your heart—all against the escalating danger of romantic suspense.
Ann is the author of the Evanston Series and host of the Cowboy Logic with Ann Dunbar podcast. When she isn't writing, she can usually be found with a cup of coffee nearby, imagining her next characters—who have an unfortunate habit of introducing themselves long before it's their turn to have a book.

In Web of Obsession by Ann Dunbar, Sunny Rivers was famous as America's sweetheart. But she longed for something more personal. Sunny wanted a place where she truly belonged and someone who loved her. When Sunny met Antonio, she believed she had found what she wanted in life. Antonio's attention made Sunny feel she finally mattered as herself. Their relationship ended abruptly when Antonio’s troubled past caught up with him. Antonio believed distancing himself was the only way to keep Sunny safe, and he made the painful decision to walk away. Sunny’s career takes her to Hawthorn’s Hope Ranch in Evanston, Montana, where she reunites with Antonio. He is determined to repair the damage he caused, but buried betrayals return as danger draws closer.
Ann Dunbar's book kept me invested in Sunny and Antonio’s complicated relationship. I was hooked from start to finish. I could not put the book down; I was afraid I would miss something important. The characters were realistic and relatable. Sunny is a strong woman but also vulnerable beneath her public image. With a surprise waiting around every corner, I could not turn the pages fast enough to see what happened. I guessed what would happen and was wrong every time. It was a nail-biting read. The events were descriptive, and they made me feel part of Sunny's life. Web of Obsession was brilliantly written and ended with a cliffhanger. The book was more than I expected, and I am still pondering it. I cannot wait for Sunny and Antonio’s next adventure.
