Right now I'm in the last editing phase, but as I also just completed the first draft of Book 2, I've decided that the two books would work/flow better as a single book with a few tweaks even though it would end up as a tome of around 450-500 pages.

Titles By Cristina Rayne
After waking up to a severe snowstorm, schoolteacher Emma Miller thinks the most exciting things she would do while snowed in at home are stream a few movies and sip hot chocolate. However, when a breaking news report of a sizeable island with unnatural structures suddenly appearing off the coast of England throws a wrench into her plans, she never dreams that shocking incident across the pond would repeat in Texas until a scorching hot—in more ways than one—dragon shifter crashes into her back yard, putting him at her mercy at a time when sheltering him could get her arrested.
Dragon shifter Sevek was warned over and over by the royal scholars not to fly too close to the ghostly city of another world that was currently bleeding into Elysia. Ignoring their warnings during one of his patrols, he consequently finds himself severely injured and trapped within the very alien world he has been obsessing over for centuries, forced to rely on Emma, a Terran woman whose sweet scent awakens desires he hasn’t felt in years. Princess Briana warned his people about the danger her home world’s governments would pose should they discover the existence of dragons, a danger he sees with his own eyes. It would be stupid to court a woman who could betray him to her leaders at any moment no matter how much Emma’s lovely blushes suggest she would be receptive to his advances. His priority should be getting home without exposing his dragon nature, not chasing after a potential mate he may not get to keep…
Two worlds collide in this thrilling and steamy paranormal romance adventure!
Contains mature content, language, and hot dragon shifters.
This is a complete story with a HEA.
He thinks she’s the key to ending his exile in her world.
Love was never supposed to enter the equation…
It’s in her friend’s rare books shop that Briana Wright first sees Taron Hildebrand, a too-gorgeous-to-be-real twenty-something Englishman dressed for a night at the opera rather than an obscure shop in midtown. Already unnerved by his uncanny, orange-tinted eyes, her alarm skyrockets with Taron’s powerful reaction to seeing the old hand-bound book she is carrying that nearly has her racing to the exit. A find in her recently deceased grandmother’s collection, it was written in a strange alphabet that Briana is dying to decipher. No way is she going to sell it, even when Taron offers her an obscene amount of money.
However, when Taron confesses that he thinks the book may be an old family heirloom he’s been trying to locate for years and professes to be able to read it, Briana never imagines losing her life could be the cost of learning its secrets. An enemy is hunting Taron for the precious item he carries, and to secure her help, Taron will have to come clean about his dragon shifter identity, his true reason for wanting her book, and his suspicions of Briana’s own heritage if he has any hope of finding his way home again in a time when his people need the item he is protecting the most.
Their hearts were never supposed to be part of their deal…

When Fire Dragons Fall
What Stubborn Dragons Want
What Fire Dragons Treasure
Lillian Miller’s plans for her weekend are to attend her sister’s (illegal) wedding in Elysia South with her family, hang out in a dragon city she’s been dying to see, and try not to get caught doing any of that because setting foot in any Draknos kingdom is against the law. However, when their guide into the kingdom, Airon, a dragon shifter spy currently living covertly in Dallas begins to pursue her romantically, Lillian suddenly has more things to worry about than getting arrested. While she is certainly attracted, she absolutely doesn’t want to give up her life and friends in Dallas, something that would inevitably have to happen in the current political climate where dragon shifters are still thought of as beasts. She also doesn’t want Airon to give up his home to live as something he’s not, especially when evidence of dragon hunters surfaces.
Can Lillian and Airon overcome what seems an unbreakable barrier of bureaucracy and xenophobia as well as their own personal hang-ups to find their happily ever after?
Contains mature content, language, and hot dragon shifters.
This is a complete story with no cliffhangers.
DRAGON SHIFTERS OF ELYSIA SERIES
Where Sleeping Dragons Lie
When Fire Dragons Fall
What Stubborn Dragons Want
What Fire Dragons Treasure *coming April 28, 2020
Dragon shifter Raphek is patrolling near the energy shield at the edge of his kingdom when he witnesses a Terran woman and her child being hunted by several Terran men. He has no idea that saving them will set off perhaps the largest political bomb between his kingdom and the US that may trigger a war unless King Dagon gives over mother and child to the very man that has sworn to kill her.
Love should be the last thing on their minds, but neither one can deny the burning attraction that grows daily between them, not to mention the fierce protective instincts that all Draknos have for children that awakens within Raphek and won’t be ignored. Can Amber and Raphek find a solution to their impossible dilemma or will Amber have to submit to the demands of her husband’s powerful family for the sake of peace?

A new shifter romance series from New York Times & USA Today Bestselling author Cristina Rayne
**Previously published separately as #1 Transformation and #2 Revelation**
Kylie Moore has a secret, one she and her adoptive father have carefully guarded for over a decade since the night her parents disappeared. However, when she is randomly attacked one night in her apartment complex's parking lot, that one violent act sets in motion events that reveal not only her long-dormant shifter heritage in the worst possible way, but could also railroad her efforts of finding out what really happened to her parents.
Suddenly finding herself the center of attention among Riverford's shifter clans, Kylie's only hope of navigating such a dangerous minefield of politics and perpetual battles over territory is Hunter, a too-sexy-for-her-peace-of-mind jaguar shifter that might be her key to gaining insider access to the hidden and secretive shifter society.
Now Kylie must decide whether to integrate more deeply into Hunter's jaguar clan in order to take advantage of this rare opportunity or to run while her secret still remains uncovered. To stay would mean deliberately putting herself in more danger than Kylie may be prepared to handle, especially when Hunter, the person she must rely on, may be hiding something as well.
This book is part of a continuing story line woven throughout the series and is not meant to be read as a standalone.
It contains strong adult content and language.
Kylie knew from the beginning that getting romantically involved with Hunter was an extremely bad idea, and now because of the Pandora’s Box she inadvertently blew wide open in order to protect him, more than just Hunter may now determine the consequences she and those she loves will ultimately end up paying.
Contains strong adult content and language.
