    Into the Flames 
    This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces the story.

    About the Author

    N.J. Walters is a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author who has always been a voracious reader, and now she spends her days writing novels of her own. Vampires, werewolves, dragons, time-travelers, seductive handymen, and next-door neighbors with smoldering good looks—all vie for her attention. It’s a tough life, but someone’s got to live it.

    Interview with N.J. Walters

    Why did you write this book?

    I wrote my novella Rescue Me as part of the Into the Flames boxed set. Firefighters are dust and ash-covered heroes who defy the odds and press on in the presence of danger.Firefighter Frank Ellis is a man with a huge secret, and he’s spent his whole adult life trying to atone for past mistakes. Like any man, Frank has secret fantasies. He doesn’t want money or power or lots of women. His fantasy is much simpler, but one he’d thinks he’ll never have—a regular life with one particular woman. He’s given up hope of that ever happening when she comes back into his life, bringing with her hope and new life to his fantasies.

    What is your favorite genre to read?
    Romance, of course. I love all genres of romance, but my favorites are probably paranormal, contemporary and romantic suspense. I do love a good historical too.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    This is such a tough question. I have so many fictional characters I love. One of my favorites has to be Eve Dallas, from J.D. Robb’s In Death series. She is one kickass heroine, but she does have a softer side, no matter how much she tries to hide it.
    What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    I’m currently working on a new book for my Salvation Pack werewolf series. I’d originally planned on it being a five-book series, but I’m currently working on book nine. I have four Salvation Pack books due out in the next year. It’s exciting.
    Please tell us about your latest book.

    top three people in that category. To win, a guest must have five or more comments

    Night of the Tiger by NJ Walters @njwaltersauthor #RLFblog #PNR

    Night of the Tiger 
    Cover Love at Romance Lives Forever is a short intro to a
    book and includes a cover, blurb, buy links, and social media contacts for the
    author. Today’s featured book is Night of the Tiger.
    Genre Paranormal Romance

    Blurb

    To win the battle for his soul, he may have to sacrifice the
    woman who set him free.
    Hades’ Carnival, Book 1
    Aimee Horner lives and breathes her career as a graphic novel
    illustrator, but she never expected it would invade her dreams. In recent months,
    worsening nightmares have pulled her into the darkest corners of Hell.
    On a rare night out with friends at a traveling carnival, she
    finds herself strangely drawn to an abandoned carousel adorned with vividly exotic
    animals. One steed, a massive white tiger, is a temptation she can’t resist. The
    moment she climbs upon him, her world changes forever.
    More than five thousand years ago, Roric and his fellow shapeshifting
    warriors were imprisoned in their animal forms, a last-ditch effort by the goddess
    they served to save them from the horrors of Hell.
    With one special woman’s touch, he has a chance at freedom and
    redemption—but the clock is ticking. If he is still alive in twenty-four hours,
    the spell will be broken, and Hell will have no claim on his soul. The only hitch
    is his blazing attraction to Aimee. If only he could trust that she isn’t merely
    a distraction sent by Hades—luscious bait to lure him from his mission.
