ABOUT THE BOOK:Release Date June 3, 2025

The stakes are high, and neither of them is ready for what’s coming.

Trigger

As the Treasurer of the Royal Bastards MC, Los Angeles Chapter, my unparalleled talent for managing the Club’s finances makes me indispensable. I run the Royal Casino with an iron grip, ensuring it remains a cornerstone of our operations. Known for shooting first and asking questions later, I’m working hard to rein in my impulsive tendencies, though my reputation for ruthlessness precedes me.

I find myself drawn into the shadowy world of underground fighting. Introduced by Tiny, the brutal arena offers a way to make quick money but at a steep personal cost. It’s here, amid the chaos and bloodshed, that I cross paths with Aerianna once again, the enigmatic woman who ran me over, literally and caught my attention during a fleeting but charged encounter at the Casino.

Aerianna

The moment I met Trigger, I knew my life was about to change. Whether it’s for the better or worse remains to be seen. He challenges me at every turn, breaking down the carefully constructed walls I’ve built. With every look and touch, he forces me to question everything I thought I knew.

I distrust men, convinced they’re capable of the same monstrous acts that claimed the life of my best friend, Allison. I’m determined to avenge Allison’s death and dismantle the Black Market Railroad. My passion for justice isn’t just a duty, it’s deeply personal, rooted in the values my upbringing instilled in me and the unbearable loss of my best friend.

Will their connection pull Trigger out of the shadows and into redemption or drag Aerianna further into the darkness?

REVIEW: TRIGGER’S TEMPTATION is the eleventh instalment in J. Lynn Lombard’s contemporary, adult RBMC: LOS ANGELES dark, MC romance series, a part of the multi-authored RBMC. This is RBMC treasurer Trigger aka Carter, and FBI Special Agent Aerianna Faber’s story line. TRIGGER’S TEMPTATION can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Trigger and Aerianna) TRIGGER’S TEMPTATION follows Special Agent Arianna Faber as she goes in search for someone she lost. Weeks earlier Trigger had an ‘accidental ‘ run in with our story line heroine, and in the interim never stopped fantasizing about the woman he knew nothing about. Fast forward to present day, Trigger will discover said woman is now in training as a card dealer for the club owned Royal Hotel and Casino but all is not as is appears to be. The RBMC is under investigation, and FBI Special Agent Aerianna Faber is sent in undercover, to determine if the club is involved with the Black Market Railroad, and human sexual trafficking.

The world building follows several paths including Aerianna’s search for someone she loves; the arrival of Trigger’s sister Elise, and the take down of the men responsible but once again, someone is targeting the women in Los Angeles, and our couple will be up close and personal with the people involved.

The relationship between Trigger and Aerianna begins acrimoniously when Trigger blames our heroine for the accident that almost ended his life. Determined to make Aerianna pay for her mistakes, Trigger goes on the offensive only to discover the heart wants something more. Aerianna is desperate to find the people responsible for the missing woman, and in doing so, begins a new path, going forward, with the man with whom she will fall in love the $ex scenes are passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, determined and familiar secondary and supporting characters including most if not all of the previous story line couples, the members of the RBMC: Los Angeles, Tiny and Syvannah ; several woman and children who have been rescued by the RBMC, as well as the introduction of Trigger’s sister Elise, and FBI Agent Benton. The requisite evil has many faces.

TRIGGER’S TEMPTATION is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, grief and loss,family and friendships, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is dramatic and heart breaking; the romance is limited but seductive; the characters are desperate and dynamic.

When I’m not cheering them on (OK, yelling my heart out and embarrassing the heck out of them) from the sidelines or bleachers with my husband, you’ll find me writing, reading, running (when the weather is warm) or riding on the back of my husband’s Harley.

I was born and raised in Central New York where most of my family still reside in a small town between two mountains. I moved to Michigan back in 2001 where I met the love of my life, my husband, whom I’ve been married to since 2004. My favorite food is anything pasta, but bacon goes with everything.
