N. N. Light's Book Heaven presents Christina Lynn Lambert #authorspotlight #paranormalromance #shifterromance #pnr #mustread



Before I had the wild idea to write a book, I worked in a few different fields. I was in sales for a while, and after I finished college, I worked as a case manager. When my children were little, I was a personal trainer and running coach. During the evenings, when I was supposed to be studying for another fitness training certification, I started writing a story. Finally, I gave in and acknowledged that writing is what I’m meant to do.

 

I love creating imperfect but determined characters who find the courage to love and the strength to survive in a world where there are no guarantees. My stories include a fair amount of sarcasm, suspense, steam, and violence.

 

When I’m not writing, I enjoy spending time outside. I live in beautiful Virginia between the mountains and the ocean with plenty of hiking trails in between.  I’m not a fan of the cold winter weather so when the temperature begins to rise enough for me to ditch my heavy coat and boots, I always feel like the world has come back to life, because that’s the time of year that I venture willingly out of my house and start to feel human again. 

 

One of my favorite local spots to go once the weather begins to warm up is Belle Isle, in the heart of the city of Richmond. The traffic and eclectic, hectic energy of the city surrounds the island but once I park my car and walk across the street, it’s like entering another world. A suspended foot bridge provides a path over the depths of the James River. At the end of the bridge, defunct train tracks and rusty transmission towers nearly obscure the mouth of the forest. A dirt trail leads hikers to the shore of the river. The huge, flat rocks rising up from the water create the perfect place to sit and read a book or have picnic.

 

Belle Isle has been occupied by many things over last few centuries including a fishery, a nail factory, a small town, and an iron works facility. The island was also a prison during the civil war. In 1973, Belle Isle became a park. Wildlife and nature thrived where destruction of the land and suffering had once occurred. From my spot on the flat rocks, I can see the old Tredegar Ironworks, historic Hollywood Cemetery, kayakers working their way through the rapids, and in the distance, there is the city. On the island though, there is a pause, a temporary peace.

 

The island has been a source of inspiration for my writing over the years. Being outside helps me feel connected to the most essential things, the things that really matter. The island is nature rising once again, but nature didn’t obliterate all signs of the past. The island entwined itself into the old structures. A reminder. And the view of the city remains just as the truth and the past remain. In the heart of Richmond City, Belle Isle is a place of hope and harmony. In a world of uncertainty, those moments of temporary peace are enough to keep me determined to speak my mind about the importance of equality and the preservation of nature, and to keep writing my stories that end with happily-ever-after.

A brutal experiment left Kylie Claremont with telekinetic abilities and she wants answers. The position she’s offered as a liaison between Shifters United and the Psy Guild will give her the chance to find the elusive research company that disappeared after experimenting on her. The only thing standing in her way is an arrogant coyote shifter who is convinced that Kylie is a threat to shifters. She never expected to fall for the gruff, mistrusting man.

 

Coyote shifter Trevor Ryland will never trust the psy. Still, he knows the time has come to strengthen the tentative alliance between shifters and psy. He fully intends to ignore his attraction to the beautiful psy liaison, but he’d never forgive himself if something happened to her. His plan to protect Kylie from afar is wrecked when they’re forced to work together. She could be his mate but Trevor can’t let that happen. The struggle to deny his need for the one woman with the power to destroy him gets harder every day.

 

Trevor and Kylie uncover a web of greed and deceit during their search for a travelling research group. They’ll have to work fast and fight hard to stop the CEO’s latest plans or shifters and psy everywhere will suffer.

 

Excerpt

 

Kylie’s strength and fire as well as her obvious intelligence appealed to Trevor on a level he couldn’t describe. I can’t be with her, his reminder to himself lacked certainty. As soon as his time watching out for her came to an end, he’d get her out of his mind. Until then, how hard could it be to ignore his attraction to her? He was strong. He’d been on countless dangerous missions for the Shifter Enforcement Army and Shifters United. He’d been injured, lost team members, been down roads of grief and sadness that seemed to have no end, but he’d survived. A pretty woman with a smart mouth and intensely beautiful brown eyes wouldn’t be his downfall. He could handle occasionally working with Kylie. He could handle having a massive crush on her and he could ignore the fantasies of her that liked to invade his dreams. He would be fine. Everything would be fine.

While working a case, Sean Whitman is tortured for information, drugged, and bitten against his will by a shape shifter. The fallout ruins his career. Needing a fresh start, he leaves town and opens a private investigation business. Learning to live life sober isn’t easy, but he makes it to the two-year mark.

 

When Detective Nikki Jackson with the Great Oaks, Virginia Police Department calls to ask for his help on a case, he's captivated by her sweet, slightly Southern voice. In person, she's unlike any other woman he's encountered, and nearly impossible to resist. But would the sexy detective ever want a man like him?

 

After Nikki’s last dating disaster, the mountain lion shifter has sworn off men. Her resolve begins to crumble as she spends more time around Sean. To her dismay, despite the undeniable attraction between them, Sean seems determined to push her away.

 

An investigation into missing refugees leads them to the discovery of a radical political group’s horrifying plot for dominance. Traitors are embedded within the very organizations meant to keep shifters safe. As Nikki and Sean fight for survival, his fear of losing her could become a reality. Will he get one last chance to show her he loves her?

 

Excerpt

 

She lined up the torn edges of his skin and pressed the tape strips over the wound then wrapped gauze around his hand. She pushed up his sleeves and looked closely at his arms decorated by various scrapes and scratches from their hellish day.

 

“You up to date on your tetanus shots?” she asked.

 

“Yeah. Not the first injury I’ve had.”

 

“I still want to make sure you’re okay.”

 

Why do you care? The question was on the tip of his tongue because why did she? Screwed-up Sean of the past would have asked the question, the not-so-screwed-up Sean of the present still wondered but he had since learned that his fears and his words had the power to hurt, the power to be misunderstood. He looked at Nikki, and he didn’t ask why.

After losing his three best friends and his girlfriend in a fire, bear shifter Grant did his best to push everyone else away. He never meant to fall for his boss, Shayla.

 

When an obnoxious reporter and Shayla's bitter ex team up to chase down conspiracy theories, the fallout could destroy Shayla's business and put her life in danger. Grant must risk everything to keep the woman he loves safe.

 

Excerpt

 

Instead of throwing punches and morphing into a bear like he wanted to do, Grant roughly escorted Baron and the rest of the film crew the hell out of Brass Cat Advertising. Then, he spent the walk back to Shayla’s office repeatedly counting to ten and working on his apology. He fully expected a lecture from her about how she could handle her personal life without his assistance, but he couldn’t change what he’d done. He hadn’t wanted the reporter up in her face for one more second.

 

Instead of the indignant lecture he probably deserved, Shayla laid her hand against his cheek. “You’re sweet, Grant. Thanks for getting rid of Baron and her crew.”

 

“You’re not mad?”

 

“Not at you. I was prepared to take some heat from her, but—” She sighed. “Anyway, thanks for looking out for me.”

 

He shrugged. “Anytime. I’m here if you need me. I’ve always got your back.” He gave her a shy smile.

 

“Same,” she told him. And her smile wasn’t the innocent kind of sweet of someone who didn’t understand the gravity of what they were offering. Though she probably meant she’d have his back in a friendship kind of way, her sincerity hit him in all the places it shouldn’t. He nodded and left her office before he started composing love poems and sappy songs in his head. Romantic feelings for his boss were not what he needed in his life at the moment. Or ever.

Wolf’s Challenge (Stranger Creatures book 1)

 

Author

Genre

Paranormal Romance, steamy, suspenseful

 

Publisher

Book Blurb

 

When Sydney left Seattle two years ago, she was scared, traumatized, and done with men for good. Now she has a good job, a hobby that's fast becoming a second career, and best of all, she's adopted a little girl named Angel. Life is good and Sydney's not about to let charming lawyer Derrick mess that up, no matter how sexy he is, or how sweet he seems. 

 

Derrick isn’t the ladies’ man Sydney thinks he is, but he does have a few secrets, such as his ability to transform into a powerful wolf at will. Can he convince her to give him a chance, something more than her elusive maybe? More importantly, should he? He's still trying to forgive himself for being at the wheel during the accident that killed his son.

 

A troubled woman running from her guilty conscience has Sydney and Derrick in her crosshairs, and she’ll do whatever it takes to win her game. Will Sydney and Derrick survive long enough to be together?

 

Excerpt

 

Sydney sat in the conference room at Brass Cat Advertising, sipping her coffee and wishing the caramel latte could take her to an alternate reality. One where Derrick Porter wasn’t sitting in front of her. His presence had caught her off guard. She took another sip of her coffee and tried not to stare stupidly, but holy chocolate-covered cherries, the man was hot.

 

Dark hair and eyebrows made a striking contrast against his strong bone structure and fair skin. His long, lean body fit nicely in a suit. The material stretched over his broad shoulders and came in at the waist. He probably had amazing six-pack abs.

 

When they’d met Saturday in running group, it hadn’t merely been the fog coupled with Sydney’s exhaustion that made Derrick appear so handsome. Even under the bright lights of the conference room, he was gorgeous. What rotten luck that she couldn’t seem to get away from him.

She had every reason to hate him

 

Aiden "AJ" Shepherd's mistake during a Shifter Army Enforcement rescue mission cost Ellie Ortiz's brother, Marco, his life. She hates AJ with a passion until a chance encounter with him on New Year’s Eve reveals he's not the cold, heartless man she once thought him to be. Her attraction to him takes her by surprise and she vows to ignore her feelings. When a new job puts her in contact with him every day, the heat building between them threatens to flare out of control.

 

His secret could ruin everything

 

During a disastrous assignment with Shifters United, AJ uncovers some information that changes everything. Keeping the truth hidden from Ellie is killing him but he might lose her forever if he tells her what he learned on his mission. When Ellie ends up in danger, AJ will stop at nothing to save her. To survive, they’ll have to work together to stop a reporter who is determined to prove the existence of shifters. 

 

Excerpt

 

AJ held on to the door, shocked, nearly certain Ellie could be his mate, and there was nothing he could do about it because when she left Willow Hill, she’d be lost to him, forever.

 

“Bye, Ellie. Take care.”

 

“You too.” Her sad brown eyes shone with a hint of tears but held no promise of a possible future for them.

 

“If you ever need me”—he cleared his throat— “I mean, if you ever need anything, you have my number.”

 

She nodded and closed her car door. He wanted to exist in some alternate reality where the reason for Ellie’s sadness was because they were both going their separate ways, and the only way to fix the tears threatening to spill from her eyes would be to sit down in the car next to her. They could spend the whole ride back to her house talking like they had before about music and career plans and favorite foods.

 

But in this reality, Ellie didn’t want him. She’d made a mistake in the heat of the moment, kissing him. He knew she regretted the kiss, even if she was kind enough not to say it out loud. He watched her leave the parking deck and drive out of sight. Forgetting her was going to be hell.
