News
The first episode in my new science fiction/futuristic series, Alliance: Diplomatic Relations, is available now! This novella is another male/male romance, though other episodes in the series will be male/female romances. It was a really fun story to write, and I hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
My short story, Good Vibrations, was released in February. It's set in 1968 and features a wounded Vietnam vet and a war protester, who meet on a train from New York to Chicago. Details are in the New Releases section of this newsletter.
Click here to view the funky, psychelelic video trailer I made for it.
Finding Jason, part of the Hidden Desires AmberPax, was on the Amber Quill bestseller list for four months in a row! It also made the Amber Quill and erotica bestseller lists at Fictionwise in November and December, to make it my bestselling story ever.
I now have a webpage and guest book in the Spice section of the Books We Love website. Click here to view the page, then scroll down to the bottom to sign the guest book.

Alliance: Diplomatic Relations
Gay / Ménage (M/M/F) / Futuristic Erotica
Heat Level: 3
When Rulik answers a distress call from a space ship being pursued by outlawed raiders, he
meets the man he's been waiting for all his life. An alliance between their worlds will bring them together, but the ensuing diplomatic crisis threatens to tear them apart. Only Rulik can solve the problem, but will it be at the loss of his hopes and dreams?
"Lyndi Lamont has done it again! Alliance 1: Diplomatic Relations has something for everyone. Fans of Star Trek and authors like C. J. Cherryh will enjoy the intrigue as members of two different but related species of humanoids strive to cement a treaty uniting against a common enemy. Erotic romance fans will thrill to the incendiary sex and wrenching emotions as two very different men, one supposed to protect and the other to marry the beautiful but arrogant diplomat Arpana, find they are more attracted to each other than to her! The surprising ending will steal your breath in a most satisfactory way. I can’t wait to revisit this exciting new realm in the next installment." - Deirdre O’Dare, Author of best-selling gay sci-fi story Treading on Dangerous Ground
Good Vibrations
Short Nostalgic Contemporary Erotica
Heat Level: 2
When Sunny McCafferty heads off to protest at the 1968 Democratic Convention, the last person she expects to meet, much less fall for, is a wounded Vietnam vet.
Not all of Joe Marcellino's wounds are on the outside. Being with Sunny makes him feel alive again. But can two people on opposite sides of a bitter divide make a go of it?
"Ever wonder what the Sixties were like? In Good Vibrations, Lyndi Lamont captures the essence of those turbulent times from the viewpoints of two archetypical characters, a wounded soldier newly home from Vietnam and a young woman involved in the protest movements. When these two board the same train, attraction is immediate. They soon agree to make love, not war. The result is some of the hottest scenes a reader will find on wheels! This story jumped off the pages to touch my heart, take me back in time, and make me reach for a cold drink. For a sexy time machine, Good Vibrations is definitely 'where it’s at'.” - Deirdre O”Dare, author of past Amber Heat best sellers Pickup Man, To Protect and …Seduce, and Treading Dangerous Ground

Exclusive Excerpt from Good Vibrations:
Good Vibrations.
Sunny awoke in that gray hour before dawn to find herself lying on one side, one leg thrown over Joe's and her head nestled on his shoulder.
He groaned and pulled his arm out from under her. "One half my body is asleep."
"Sorry...there's not much room here. Maybe we should just get up."
"Good idea."
Sunny crawled over him and started looking for her clothes. "I have an idea. We can go to the observation car at the back of the train and watch the sunrise."
"Okay." He turned up the lights so they could see to dress.
Sunny found her clothes from yesterday on top of her backpack, but her panties were nowhere to be found.
"Leave them," Joe said, as he pulled on his pants. "It'll drive me crazy knowing you're naked under your clothes."
"You, sir, are a pervert," she said with a shake of the head.
He flashed her a grin. "No, just a horny soldier." He peered out the window. "Let's go or we'll miss the sunrise."
It was a long walk from his roomette to the observation car at the end of the train, so they took it slowly. She hoped it wasn't putting too much strain on his leg, but Joe said the exercise was good for him. His leg stiffened up when he didn't use it for a long while.
The sky was lightening as they reached the observation car. Sunny moved to the very end and knelt on a sofa to look out the large window just as the sun rose, sending orange rays of light through the sky. "Oh, how beautiful."
Joe stood behind her, his arms around her and kissed her neck. "Not as pretty as your hair."
She laughed. Her hair had to resemble a rat's nest after last night. She hadn't had a chance to even brush it this morning. "Flatterer."
He chuckled. "I like your hair. I've always had a thing for redheads."
"Oh?" His words pleased her. There was a time growing up that she'd hated her red hair.
His hands started to roam over her body, cupping her breasts, then moving down to her thighs. When his hands delved under her skirt, she said, "Joe."
"No one's around to see us. I can't stop thinking about what you're not wearing under there."
His hand caressed her thighs, kneaded her buttocks, then delved between her legs. When he found her core, she gripped the back of the sofa. Using his fingertips, he explored her pussy, seeking out each sensitive ridge and valley. He grazed her slit, then used a circular motion around her clit. Her pelvic muscles contracted and her breathing grew more rapid.
She cried out in protest when his hands left her body, then she heard the sound of his zipper.
"Lean forward a little," he said.
As she did so, he gripped her hips and entered her from behind. She thrust her hips back, taking more of his dick inside her vagina. They swayed back and forth in time to the rhythm of the train as dawn spread its rays around them. He groaned into her ear as he released his sperm into her body. She felt the shudders run through his body. A few seconds later, she panted her own climax.
"God, Sunny, what you do to me," he whispered before releasing her.
"Tell me about it." She stood shakily and pushed her skirt down. She turned into his arms and hugged him.
He looked down at her, a sad smile on his face. "How am I supposed to say good-bye to you?"
She traced his face with one hand. How, indeed? "Maybe you won't have to. Is that offer to stay with you still open?"
"You bet it is."
"Then I accept."
He whooped and kissed her just as they heard the door to the car open.
Sunny peaked around his shoulder to see a porter eying them suspiciously. "Oops, I think we'd better go."
As they left the observation car, Sunny breathed a sigh of relief they hadn't been caught in the act.

Recent Reviews
FINDING JASON
5 roses... "Lyndi Lamont has penned a poignant and steamy novella in Finding Jason. The history shared by Jason and Alfred’s former lover Michael is both touching and tragic. The obstacles placed in this couple’s path are not easily overcome, especially considering the time period in which they live. Ms. Lamont explained the time period’s ideas of morality in an interesting and effective manner. Jason and Alfred’s relationship developed in a realistic manner considering those moral strictures. Jason’s journey of discovery was a compelling tale which I was unable to put down until the satisfactory ending was revealed." - Robin, My Book Cravings
Marooned:
4.5 blue ribbons... "Lyndi Lamont’s MAROONED is a fast-paced short read that indulges our fantasies about being captured by a pirate. I adored Heather’s bravery in the face of her husband’s betrayal, his death, and then the dangers of being aboard a pirate ship. Adam may be a pirate but he’s still an honorable gentleman. Not once does he take advantage of Heather or her situation. Ms. Lamont pens an exciting tale that will keep you guessing until the very end." - Chrissy Dionne, Romance Junkies

Nellie's Rogue Stallion
by Deirdre O'Dare
Part of the Beastmaster AmberPax(tm)
Genres: Shapeshifter / Fantasy / Action / Adventure / Historical / The Old West
Heat Level: 2
Length: Novella (18k words)
Nevada-raised Nellie Campbell despairs of ever finding love because her father, Jack, fiercely guards her chastity, keeping all virile men yards away from her. When she joins the hunt to capture a rogue stallion that has been stealing valuable mares from area ranchers, she learns Rogue Red is no ordinary horse. No way can she allow her father and the cowboys to kill or geld this magnificent creature.
To help him escape, Nellie soon finds herself racing across the desert on the red stallion's back, knowing there can be no return. Yet all her father's care to keep Nellie pure will now be for naught-because Rogue Red is also Steven Johns, descendant of a long line of shapeshifting were-horses. And as a man, he is even more gorgeous than he is as a horse! Grief over the brutal slaying of his family has driven Steven to live in horse form for so long, his human side has almost been forgotten. Feisty yet charmingly naïve, Nellie reminds him there is more to life than leading his mares through the wilds while fighting off predators and angry ranchers. But will Nellie's father ever abandon the chase with the ultimate goal of seeing Steven rendered harmless? It will take a tragedy and a heroic rescue to convince Jack Campbell that the right man for Nellie and the rogue stallion are both more than they seem . . .
