Five Fact Thursday - Stranger Creatures - Tiger's Last Chance. by Cristina Lynn Lambert #Paranormal



1. Tiger’s Last Chance takes place in the fictional town of Great Oaks, Virginia, where new businesses and lots of shifters are breathing life back into the once abandoned former factory town.


2. The heroine, mountain lion shifter Nikki Jackson, is a detective for the Great Oaks police department. In her spare time, she heads up the county’s disaster management response team and plays the drums in a band.


3. The hero, Sean Whitman, writes poetry. It’s not his career or anything, just his way of making sense of things when he’s upset or overwhelmed or stuck at a crossroads in life.


4. Sean is an amazing singer but will probably only ever sing in the car by himself or for Nikki. He’ll pretty much do anything for Nikki.


5. When Sean meets Nikki face to face for the first time after having only heard her voice over the phone, he’s so strongly attracted to her it takes his breath away. He’s also shirtless when they first meet and Nikki has a hell of a hard time not staring.



She clearly didn’t lack brains or wit. Or kindness. His girl was sweet but deadly. A fantastically hot combination.

While working a case, Sean Whitman is tortured for information, drugged, and bitten against his will by a shape shifter. The fallout leaves him jobless, friendless, and dumped by his girlfriend. 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 him, accusing him of breaking into his ex-girlfriend’s house, Sean can’t help but like the sound of her voice, despite her ridiculous accusations. He’s shocked when she calls him back with an apology then asks for his help as a consultant on a case. On the phone, her sweet, slightly Southern voice captivates him. In person, she's unlike any other woman he's encountered, and nearly impossible to resist. But could the sexy detective ever want a man like him?


After Nikki’s last dating disaster, the mountain lion shifter has sworn off men. Then she meets Sean, and with every second she spends around the tall, dark-eyed man, her resolve crumbles. But for some reason, despite the undeniable attraction between them, Sean seems determined to push her away.


An investigation into missing refugees leaves Nikki with more questions than answers. Her refusal to let the matter drop leads her 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 the list of people she can trust dwindles, Nikki calls on Sean to help her unravel a web of deceit.


Sean realizes pushing Nikki away was a stupid move. So when the sexy, amazing detective contacts him, he jumps at the second chance, dropping everything to fly across the country to help her. And he hates flying. But with her life in danger, he’ll do whatever it takes.

Can Sean and Nikki stop a hate group from carrying out their deadly plans? And if so, will he get one last chance to prove his love for her?


Her olive tan skin tasted like berries and cream and he wanted to taste every inch of her.



Excerpt


For the briefest moment, Nikki felt the depth to which Sean might be capable of pushing her. His kiss was crushing and brutal. His tongue pushed past her lips and his grip in her hair tightened. If desire were a vine, it would have wrapped itself around her veins and encased her heart. The heat between them flooded her. There was a sweetness, too, in his kiss, and the sweetness made her burn hotter.


A polite cough from inside the waiting car put a quick end to things. Sean pulled away and met her gaze. No words, but she got the message. She wasn’t alone. Comfort and friendship; he’d probably meant the kiss to comfort her and had gotten carried away in the heat of the moment. He’d carried her away with him, and she wanted to take him so much further into the unknown.


With each second, each step towards the waiting car, she tried to find reasons and more reasons to ignore her growing attraction to Sean. The number one reason to forget about the kiss they’d shared—relationships were trouble. She had plenty of other amazing things in her life, including her career, her volunteer work, and her band, even though the band rarely played anywhere because the members had trouble aligning their schedules. She didn’t need a man. Besides, he was probably still messed up over Sydney. Also, he was a regular. Or mostly regular. Not to mention he lived over a thousand miles away in Texas. She should tell him the kiss was a mistake. One look at him and she couldn’t bring herself to say the words. The kiss they shared had been anything but a mistake.


Her smile did awful things to his composure. He wasn’t prepared to love her. But he did.
