Excerpt:
Katherine walked into her daughter’s bedroom with a warm smile for the little girl. “And who do I find here?” she asked. “Is it a rock star, a fashion model or an award-winning actress?”
“Oh, mommy, you know who I am,” the girl said with a giggle. For just a moment Katherine’s breath caught and her heart overflowed with love for this four-year-old person. She and Cole had made this child, had conceived her in love, trust and respect, but it still seemed incomprehensible that she was as beautiful as she was, as sweet and wonderful as she was. Katherine could so clearly see Cole’s eyes and her mouth reflected in their daughter’s face, but there was more there that was a combination of them both, and therefore all Alyssa’s. Katherine had to remind herself that probably all parents felt their children were perfect and wonderful, but with their little Alyssa, she knew it was true beyond any doubt.
“Yes, I know who you are, my little love. You are queen of my heart, princess of my mind, ruler–”
“–of all I hold dear.” Alyssa finished the oft heard phrase in triumph. She had bouncy curls of brown hair that hung down to her chin, gleaming blue eyes and a pert nose. Her mouth was most often formed around a smile.
“You’re getting too smart for me, Munchkin. What story would you like to hear?” Katherine settled her daughter under the covers, and positioned herself at the head of the bed next to Alyssa’s pillow, so that the child could see the pictures in the book and also be in place to fall asleep.
“Cinderella!”
“Okay, Cinderella it is.” Katherine reached for the book from the stack of those on the bedside table and opened it to the first page. “Once upon a–”
“No, mommy. You’ve got to start with the title.”
With a small smile Katherine turned to the title page and started over. “Cinderella.” She flipped back to the story. “Once upon a time…”
Minutes later, long before the clock had struck midnight and the glass slipper had been lost, Alyssa was sleeping. Katherine stood and moved her slightly, so that she was in the center of the bed. She smoothed Alyssa’s hair from her face and kissed her forehead, making sure that her stuffed bunny was firmly secured in her arm and that she was warmly covered. As Katherine turned, she saw Cole leaning against the doorjamb, watching her with a tender expression.
“You know that I think you’re the most beautiful woman on the face of the earth, but when I see you with Alyssa, it’s almost too much. You two are the most important things in my life.” Katherine turned out the bedside lamp and walked into Cole’s arms, stretching into him as he stroked her back and nuzzled her hair.
“As the two of you are to me,” Katherine responded. “Let’s go downstairs.” With Cole’s arm wrapped around her shoulders they made their way to the living room.
Cole had started a fire and the room was warm and softly lighted by the flames; crackling of the burning logs and popping as sap hit the heat of the fire were the only sounds.
Cole poured glasses of wine and they rested, Katherine against his chest in the circle of his arm, Cole leaning against the rounded arm of the sofa. They sat peacefully for several moments, staring into the fire. With his hand over her shoulder, Cole caressed Katherine’s breast; she rested her hand on his leg, with her elbow covering and lightly putting pressure on the bulge in his pants.
“Are you going to tell me a bedtime story now?” asked Cole.
“Would you like one?” He kissed the top of her head and nodded. “Okay, do you like Cinderella, too?”
“Sure. The adult version, however. I didn’t mind the children’s version when I was a child, although I always thought the prince was too much of a sissy. I thought she should find a good warrior to marry.”
“You would, you blood-thirsty man.”
“Now, I think the prince would be looking for a bit more in a wife than simple beauty and strange taste in shoes.” He looked at Katherine’s platform shoes. “Although unusual taste in footwear isn’t always a negative.”
“Thank you,” she said smartly.
He chuckled. “So, make sure that Cindy has all the requisites to be the wife of a prince.”
“And what might that entail, do you think?” Katherine sat up and turned so that she could see her husband.
“Make her like you.”
Reviews:
"The Cinderella Curse was just perfect for hopeless romantics like me. Even if you're not a hopeless romantic, Charlotte and Cooper's sweet and emotionally charged banter will definitely warm your heart. I definitely recommend reading this modern day Cinderella... with a twist!"
"I had forgotten how enjoyable it could be to read a fun and easy read with a perfect ending, a happily ever after. Don't expect though to be the usual read, the story is full of witty and funny repartee and Ms. Knight does know her men. She knows their sense of humor and their foibles, and the banter between good friends that become lovers. There is something so solid and balanced about this couple, her innocence vs. his knowledge, and he is a knight in shining armor. As I finished I smiled ..."

“Momma, I saw the Lady,” the girl said. “Right there.”
She peeked out from her hiding spot long enough to look for the Lady. She didn’t see anyone.
“You’re imagining things,” the mother said. “The Lady of the Lake is a story made up to scare kids.”
Amanda bit back a groan. That was a downer. A fib for kids…
The man looked up from his book. “It’s not a story,” he replied. He closed the book and picked up the tablet. “Actually, it’s considered an urban legend, but there’s fact behind the legend.”
The mother rolled her eyes. “Don’t butt in and scare my kid. She’ll have nightmares because of you.”
“But Mom, I saw her,” the little girl said. “She had dark hair, blue skin and was pretty.”
Amanda ducked back behind the tree. She really had to find this woman. Any company would be better than none.
The woman and her child left the picnic area and when Amanda emerged from her spot, she stepped right into the man’s path. If she’d had breath, it would’ve stopped or clogged in her throat.
He was a beautiful man. Young -- compared to her -- and handsome. With dark hair, dark eyes and a studious look to him. The long-sleeved shirt accentuated his thin frame and the glasses gave him an air of sophistication. He didn’t walk with a swagger, but instead a quiet confidence.
“Oh, my,” she gasped. “Wow.”
“Excuse me?” He met her gaze. “What did you say?”
She froze. He’d heard her? “I’m sorry?”
He cocked his head. “Where are you?”
So he couldn’t see her? Good. She faded into the woods, rushing to the north end, to her safe haven. No one had seen her there in years -- if ever -- and no one would see her now.
“I know I heard you.” The man drifted through the woods. “Please, don’t hide from me.”
She had no choice. No one else had believed she was there and this guy might be looking for the Lady of the Lake. She wasn’t that Lady. She was nobody.

An Anniversary Worth Celebrating
I still can't completely believe that this last Christmas Eve marks the fifteenth anniversary of my first book, Naughty List, being published. Its insane to think about how long ago that was, or how much has happened since. I've moved to two different states. I've bought multiple properties. I've had multiple evil day jobs. I've survived a global pandemic. And the biggest change of all, I've become a mom.
And the publishing world has changed almost as dramatically since that time too. When I first published we were in the golden age of ebooks, spurred on by Fifty Shades of Gray and the kindle explosion, epublishers and self-publishing were booming. People couldn't get enough spicy books. And I happily got to join along on that ride. I enjoyed the benefits of everyone falling in love with smut books at the same time as I was. It was a great time to be starting out. So many people were excited and eager to join in, to help, to support each other.
Over time the industry has changed. Some changes I really love. I love all the different books that are out there. Back when I first started publishing, the big publishers were still in charge of what books were being published, even self-publishing. Not directly, but we were still all getting our cues from the big guys. We really believed to be successful, we had to stay in their box. But so many amazing authors have proven that's not true. I don't know anyone back in those early days that would have thought to write a book where the main character falls in love with a priest, or a planet of horned six foot tall blue men, but Sierra Simone and Ruby Dixon have shown us there is a home for any kind of book, if the characters are amazing and the writing fantastic.
But on the downside of these changes, there are more demands on authors than ever before. No longer can being with a good publisher, and just having that shelf space in the bookstore or on the digital shelves be enough. You need to be everywhere, do everything, just on the chance that you'll find the readers that love you. Its made it harder for authors, and for readers.
I used to buy everything that Samhain published, because I knew everyone of their books would be fantastic. Now it takes me more work to find the authors I love. But when I do, its the best feeling ever. And with social media it feels like the book world has become more segregated. I love booktok and bookstagram, but it can often wish I could see more of the book world. I'm convinced there are so many amazing books and authors out there that I would love, if the algorithm would just reveal them to me.
But regardless, it is still an industry I am proud to be a part of. And always will be. No matter what difficulties might be thrown in its way, an industry for women by women always rises to the top. The romance world is always at the forefront. Learning new things, embracing new concepts, showing the publishing world how its done. I've never met a more hardworking, determined, fun, creative, amazing group of women than I have in the romance community.
My life also looks completely different now than it did back then, except for one thing. My love of reading and books has never left me. Even now, when I'm more sleep deprived than I've ever been before, I still find time to read. I still love books.
And I can't wait to see what the next fifteen years will bring me. And this amazing industry. If the last fifteen years have taught me anything, its that I couldn't possibly predict all the changes, opportunities and excitement that will be coming our way. And that is fine with me

A New Year’s Eve full of surprises in Bear’s Dream #PNR #HolidayRomance #ShifterRomance
A snowstorm on New Year’s Eve brought bear shifters Ellie and AJ together but a secret threatens to tear them apart. When Ellie is in danger, will AJ find her in time?
Each story in my Stranger Creatures series and
in my Haven Forest Resort series features a different couple as they fight for
their happily-ever-after and can be read as a standalone. Bear’s Dream (Haven
Forest Resort book 1) is AJ and Ellie’s story.
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 despises 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 staggered toward Ellie, holding
his side. She caught him before he fell. Blood poured down the side of his
face. She pulled the hood of his coat over his head to hide the blood.
People rushed over to them, asking
if he was alright.
I guess they only care how he is
now that the fighting is over.
“He’s fine. Just a little bruised
up.”
The wolf shifter woman cleared a
path to AJ and guarded his other side. “I’ll help you get him to the woods. My
friend can stall the cops and do crowd control while you guys shift out your
injuries.”
“Thank you. Seriously, thank you.”
The wolf shifter nodded. “No
problem. Hurry.”
Ellie grasped AJ’s face in her hands
and looked him in the eye. “We just have to get to the woods. It’s not far.
Stay awake and stay with me. I can’t carry you. Understand?”
“Yeah.” His voice was barely
audible.
An eternity later, they found a spot
amongst the pine trees and bushes with enough cover for him to shift. “Hold on.
Don’t shift yet. Let me pull these chunks of metal out of your head first.”
He cursed as she pulled one
particularly large, jagged chunk out of his scalp. Blood poured down his face
and neck. His eyes drifted shut.
“Come on! Wake up! Shift!”
He slumped over, oblivious to her
yelling. She stripped him then dug her fingers into his stab wound. He growled
and shifted into bear form. A sob of relief escaped her. AJ shifted back to
human form, then, a split second later, he was a giant furry brown bear again.
The bear walked around for a moment, dug his claws into a tree, then pressed
his nose to Ellie’s cheek, making her laugh. In the blink of an eye, he was in
human form again.
“You’re alright now?” she asked.
“Yeah, I’m fine.”
“You’re sure?” She ran her fingers
over the places on his head she’d seen cut and gouged. No sign of any wounds.
She looked at his eyes. He focused on her properly. She breathed out a sigh of
relief. “I’ve seen more than one shifter be pressed for time to heal and they
weren’t healed up as well as they thought.” His injuries hadn’t been
superficial. He wouldn’t have made it to their room to shift in privacy without
being stopped by well-meaning regulars—shifters and psy often referred to
humans with no strange, extraordinary abilities as regulars—insistent on taking
him to a hospital.
People who hated shifters lurked in
hospitals, watching, waiting to destroy anyone they found out of the ordinary.
Today, some ignorant haters had almost killed AJ, at a damn winter festival
celebration. Nowhere was truly safe. She was still freaked at how close he had
been to losing consciousness and never waking up. She knew damn well he would
have died if he hadn’t shifted when he did. She didn’t want his light to burn
out. Didn’t want anybody’s light to dim, really, but he was… She shook her
head. A good guy. That was all. She didn’t want to see a good person die too
young. She wrapped her arms around herself and her eyes teared up.
“Hey,” he spoke softly, “look at
me.”
She met his gaze, reluctantly.
“I’m all right,” he assured her.
“The important thing is, a group of angry men didn’t get the chance to beat the
living hell out of a shifter teenager.”
She nodded.
He gently stroked her cheek and his
hand came away bloody. “Your turn to shift.” She hadn’t felt any pain in her
face. Probably because several of her ribs were cracked and her stomach had a
fist-sized knot in it where she’d been punched. She stepped behind a tree,
undressed, and shifted. Her bear shook out her thick black fur and walked
around a few paces in the woods. After a moment, she reluctantly shifted back
to human form. Ellie stopped still when she caught AJ staring at her.
“Damn, you’re beautiful.” His
appreciative tone wrapped around her. She gulped and ducked behind the tree to
put her clothes back on. She emerged, wrapped back up in her bloodstained
winter coat and clothes. At least the blood wouldn’t show up since everything
she was wearing was black.
More about Bear’s Dream:
Inspiration for Bear’s Dream (Haven Forest Resort book 1):
Aiden “AJ” Shepherd and his brother Greg were both a small part
of Bear’s Edge (Stranger Creatures book 2) and the characters stayed on my
mind. Eventually I decided that the Shepherd brothers needed their own series,
so I had the brothers open up a shifter resort in the Haven Forest Resort
series.
Check out the library scene in Bear’s Dream!
One of my favorite parts to write in the story was when AJ and
Ellie escape captivity and seek sanctuary in a small library. Libraries have
always seemed to be so much more than just a place with books to borrow.
Libraries are safe places. They are places to let the imagination run free.
Within the buildings full of books and helpful librarians, there are computers,
connections to jobs, lifelines to help, opportunities for learning, and endless
wonderful possibilities.

About author Christina Lynn
Lambert:
Before I was struck with the unexpected inspiration to write a book, I
worked in a few different fields. I was in sales for a while and did not enjoy
it. After I finished college, I worked as a case manager helping people with
disabilities. 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 down the ideas for a story
that I couldn’t get out of my head. Finally, I gave in and acknowledged that
writing is what I was 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 and finding ways to avoid
cooking. I live in beautiful Virginia with my husband, two kids, a sweet, hairy
monster of a dog, and two devious cats.

Chase away those winter blues
He’s as cool as a Pina Colada on a Key West beach,
he’s the kind of guy your mother wouldn’t let you play with, and he’s every bad
guy’s worst nightmare. Nick Seven is back in “The Big Fall,” the new romantic
adventure from Tim Smith. This is an installment in the popular series
featuring two former spies trying to keep a low profile in the Florida Keys,
but not having much luck.
“Just when you think life can’t get much better, a
crashing wave wipes out your sandcastle. Former spies Nick Seven and Felicia
Hagens are taking a break from Key Largo to visit a casino owned by Nick’s
friend, Rock Bianco. An unexpected, nasty encounter with one of Nick’s former
lovers turns disastrous when she’s killed shortly afterward. The police and the
girl’s wealthy father are convinced that Nick did it, despite the lack of hard
evidence. The billionaire industrialist wages an online smear campaign to make
Nick look guilty, including sordid details from his past career in the CIA. The
stakes become more personal when the fallout impacts Felicia, testing their
relationship. Nick fights back, but why is the man determined to hold him
responsible for his daughter’s murder? Who really killed her, and why is their
identity being shielded? Can Nick and Felicia resolve this crisis and reclaim
their idyllic life in paradise?”
This is a different kind of story for this series, because Nick and Felicia don’t get involved in international intrigue or a criminal plot. Nick is being set up as the fall guy for a murder he didn’t commit, and must use his skills and experience to clear himself and reveal the real killer. The villain du jour is an arrogant Miami billionaire who uses his mega-bucks to get what he wants, manipulates the media for his own benefit, and crushes anyone who gets in his way. Unfortunately, this time the target happens to be Nick Seven.
The inspiration for this adventure came from current events, especially the influence of social media and how people with deep pockets use it to distort the facts. I will state up front that if you want to draw similarities between my fictional characters and people you see on the evening news, I can’t stop you. There’s also an homage to one of my favorite dramas, “Law & Order,” and some nods to film noir crime capers. Add in tropical Florida atmosphere, from the oceanfront sands of Fort Lauderdale to the laidback ease of The Keys, and you have all the necessary ingredients for an entertaining read.
At the core is a strong romance between Nick and Felicia, his lover and former co-worker from Barbados. The situation they’ve found themselves in threatens their relationship, but ultimately brings them closer. There’s a lot of teasing, flirting, humorous dialogue, and the requisite romantic encounters.
Nick walked into the darkened living room. Felicia had put some light Latin jazz on the stereo and lit a scented candle. She slinked toward him and draped her arms over his shoulders.
“This looks very cozy and romantic,” he said.
Felicia caressed his cheek with her palm. “I thought
we’d stay in tonight. You okay with that?”
He kissed her. “Oh, yeah.”
She stepped back, took his hands in hers, then pulled
him into the middle of the room. Felicia began a slow dance, gently swaying her
hips in time with the Bossa Nova beat. Nick picked up her cue. He wrapped one
arm around her waist and put the other on her shoulder, then moved in rhythm
with her.
“What brought this on?” he asked.
“You never take me dancin’.”
He pulled her closer and got into their passionate embrace. Felicia rested her cheek on his chest and Nick inhaled the pleasing combination of musky cologne and her natural body chemistry. He moved his hand up to massage her neck under her long hair. Felicia purred softly and undulated against him while rubbing her palm along his shoulders. Nick felt a stirring in his groin the longer they danced, engaging in intercourse on their feet.
He tipped Felicia’s head back slightly and kissed her
on the cheek. She moved her lips to his and hungrily embraced them, letting her
tongue do an exploratory mission into his mouth. Nick felt closer to her than
he had in a long time and his desire increased when Felicia rubbed against his
crotch. She put her hand on the back of his neck and pulled his mouth closer,
increasing the intensity of her kisses.
She danced him backwards to a bar stool and prompted
him to sit, not breaking their passionate oral embrace. Nick pulled Felicia
onto his lap and devoured her soft tasty lips. After a couple of minutes, she
stood, then cupped his chin in her palm. The music changed to a slow salsa and
Felicia’s eyes seemed to take on a sultry glow. Nick watched as she unbuttoned
her shirt while maintaining eye contact. She slowly ran her hands over her
breasts then along her firm stomach while swaying with the music. Nick felt
himself getting more aroused the longer she performed her sensual dance.
If you’re in the mood for something to chase away the
winter chill and get your mind off your troubles, check out “The Big Fall” at
