Adam Bruno is no ordinary millionaire. The heir to an ancient race possessing a dark, powerful magic, he can shapeshift and create energy. His gifts make him a living weapon and have forced him to live in seclusion. But now an inhuman force hunts down Adam-just when he finds someone who makes him feel more human than he ever imagined possible . . .
Home from combat in Iraq, Bobbie Carerra wants only peace, yet soon joins Adam in a terrifying battle against paranormal enemies who hide in plain sight. She's drawn to his strength of mind and body; he's attracted to her courage and intoxicating energy. Their scorching passion can either transport them to the heights of ecstasy or-if Adam's powers rage out of control-destroy them. But when an invisible brotherhood tightens its nets and someone Adam trusts betrays him, only a heartrending decision can save them.
First of all, early 21st birthday, Ashley! I hope you have a great one. Thanks so much for having me with you today to chat about THE LOST, my paranormal romance novel from Grand Central Publishing.
THE LOST is the first book in the SIN HUNTERS series. The Hunters are a race of energy gatherers that are hiding in plain sight in various locations, including the Jersey Shore.
Now, you may wonder why I would set a paranormal romance along the Jersey Shore, so here goes…
First of all, most of the Jersey Shore is nothing like that show that shall not be named. Plus may I point out that most of those guys are not even from Jersey!
But back to the reason for the location.
I’ve always been a water baby. I’m a Pisces and I was born on an island – Cuba. When we came here as refugees, I ended up living on another island – Long Island in New York.
I loved living close to the beach. During the summer, we would spend lots of time at the beach, body-surfing and taking in the sun (yes, back then we didn’t know better). Looking for shells or spending a lazy Sunday morning fishing. The water was everywhere and I could so identify with it, Piscean that I am.
Many years later I moved to Jersey and found myself falling in love with the different towns and beaches along the shore. So different from where I grew up. Nobody really lived on Jones Beach and somehow my invite to Martha’s home in the Hamptons kept on getting misplaced. LOL!
But on the Jersey Shore, regular people actually live near the shore and each of the towns has its own unique flavor. Plus, nature is all around you in the various wetland areas and lakes adjacent to the beaches.
Those nature areas were the perfect place for the Hunters to gather their energy and use it for an assortment of things.
And of course, what could be more romantic than a moonlight stroll or swim? Perfect for some sexy scenes.
If you’re not familiar with the Jersey Shore, I hope The Lost will give you a taste for an area that I truly love. I also hope that maybe one day you’ll get to visit for yourself.
Thanks again for having me with you, Ashley. I really appreciate it.
Another great cover! Thx for this great giveaway!

That show is horrible, I don't know why people love it. I think it would be interesting to see a different perspective of the Jersey Shore.
