Eden Winters

Bo and Lucky are back!

By

As Lucky Lucklighter might say, “What took so f***ing long?”

Now available for pre-order at Amazon.

Are you ready for more Bo, Lucky, and danger? Eden Winters sends the SNB agents smack into peril, tests their resolve, and pits them against some of the vilest criminals in Atlanta. This time it isn’t exactly the two of them alone against the world, but definitely the world against them.

Follow the law, or follow their hearts?

By-the-book Bo Schollenberger’s training to be the new boss at the Southeastern Narcotics Bureau. He’s always been the moral compass for his partner Lucky Lucklighter, or Simon Harrison, or whatever-the-hell his name is this week.

Lucky might have read the book, or parts of it, but toes the line between legal and… not so legal. A little moral elasticity lets him out-maneuver the bad guys. It’s not broke, why fix it?

They butt heads at work, but they’re rock solid at home, where their biggest concern is when, or if, they’ll become parents.

Their latest case puts them in a tailspin when drugs flood a local high school and someone hands Lucky’s nephew a vial of pills like they were candy. Unraveling the drug ring leads them straight into a nest of human trafficking, way outside the jurisdiction of the SNB, but no way could Bo and Lucky let the perpetrators leave Atlanta scot-free. No one gets away with harming innocents, especially family.

The letter of the law says to trust the legal system, but doing the right thing might lead them outside the lines.

Especially when the youngest trafficking victim lands squarely in Bo’s lap.

Are you ready to fan the flames for Valentine’s Day?

By

We are!  Join Barry and Adam for Valentine’s Day, where Barry’s big heart and romantic plans for his sweetie will make you giggle.

See, before Eden met Bear, she had some adventures in dating.  The kind where she had to write them into a book, because not only is truth stranger than fiction, it can turn into fiction. The Match Before Christmas got most of it out of her system, but there was some left over for Fanning the Flames. Barry and Adam better brace themselves.

Now this chocolate covered story can be yours for $0.99USD or as close as we could get in your local currency. Enjoy!

The man of Barry’s dreams has gone from a sugarplum fantasy to sweet reality, thanks to the GLBT dating site GetaDate.com. Introducing a new boyfriend to the family and settling into coupledom isn’t the easiest thing in the world for a man with little dating experience, but the romantic demands of Valentine’s Day are beyond Barry’s imagination. His piteous cry for help brings all kinds of suggestions from family and friends.

Fully believing he’s found the perfect ways to charm his sweetheart, Barry isn’t prepared to hear “Achoo ” at every turn. Adam’s allergic to what? And will sneezes and welts wreck Barry’s painstaking plans for Fanning the Flames?

Suspicion, 7th in the Diversion series, now out!

By

Lucky Lucklighter’s at it again! He and his lover, fellow agent Bo Schollenberger have to neutralize a threat to their beloved boss and the agency itself. After Bo and Lucky get done, the Southeastern Narcotics Bureau may never be the same.

Not to mention Lucky’s getting a taste of this parenthood thing with his two nephews, uprooted from their childhood home. Starting with angry teenagers will put his patience and negotiating skills to the test. Will the experience scare him into rethinking his dreams about a family?

It might all work out, with a lot of sleuthing and a bit of redneck ingenuity.

Suspicion

Lucky “Simon Harrison” Lucklighter left behind his criminal past to become one of the best agents in the Southeastern Narcotics Bureau. He’s found a committed partner in fellow agent Bo Schollenberger and built a life.

Now, enemies within the SNB and a friend’s betrayal leave him nowhere to turn—not even to his mentor.

His boss’s life, the future of the SNB, and Lucky’s career depend on him. With the help of his lover, an old enemy turned ally, and a man Lucky thought he’d seen the last of, he must stand and fight for what he believes in.

Even if he has to step outside the law.

A story to quake your heart

By

If you’ve read Eden’s bio, you’ll know she’s traveled to far-flung places with her job. This time, she’s used her time in Central America and an earthquake she witnessed as a pivotal event in What You Can’t Live Without.

Natural disasters have a way of bringing out the truth of one’s soul. Dr. Mitch Rollins has some exploring to do, and so does Dr. Arnulfo Oliva.

Rocky Ridge is pleased to bring you the second edition of Mitch and Nulfo’s journey. It’s a 7.8 on the Richter Scale of Feels.

Dr. Arnulfo Oliva is torn: he could stay in the United States, but he vowed to return to his home country and practice medicine in the remote villages that offer little to no healthcare. Mitch doesn’t need him, not really; he’s surrounded by wealth and possessions.

Rising star Dr. Mitchell Rollins enjoys his lavish lifestyle, and if Nulfo wants to turn his back on all they could have together, let him. Mitch doesn’t even miss him. Much. Or think of him—more than five times an hour.

A magnitude 7.8 earthquake rocks El Salvador and both men. Mitch joins a mercy mission, determined to find his former lover, talk sense into the man, and bring him back to the US and safety. What he finds opens his eyes to all Nulfo tried to tell him.

Mitch must decide what he truly can’t live without.

For a limited time, What You Can’t Live Without will be available through Kindle Unlimited, and can be had as both MOBI and print.  In keeping with the jungle theme, you can find the story at Amazon.

And let’s have a special shoutout to Mr. Winters, who did some nifty photomanipulation to put our heroes in the lush rain forests of El Salvador.

Reunion is live!

By

Catch up with Bo and Lucky! They made each other some promises back in Mexico, and it’s time to make good. Eden has a rip-roaring story for you, because you know the Lucklighter clan has to be a handful.

Even if you’re starting the series here (you could, just brace yourself for your first dose of Lucky), it’ll be a great read.

Reunions can be murder.

A dial tone instead of a human voice announced Lucky’s ousting from the Lucklighter clan over twelve years ago. After living a life of crime. After testifying against his drug lord lover. After receiving a ten-year sentence. Ah, hell. Lucky would’ve disowned himself too.

Now life’s better. He’s done his time and earned a place in the Southeastern Narcotics Bureau’s Department of Diversion Prevention and Control. He has a house. He has Bo, his partner both on and off the job. And pets. But not his folks. The worst part? He’s not sure exactly why they disowned him. Too late now—they think he’s dead.

Now his father needs a gift only Lucky can give. And Lucky’s family has something that may destroy all he believes:

The truth.

MOBI or print, you pick. 

Now on Preorder: Reunion, Book 6 in the Diversion series

By

Whoo hoo, Bo Schollenberger and Lucky (Richmond Simon Harrison etc etc) Lucklighter are back!

The SNB agents and lovers made each other some promises back in Mexico. Waiting to die and scarcely daring to dream they might live, Bo and Lucky swore they’d try once more to reach out to their families.

Nobody said it would be easy.

Because if one Lucklighter is a big bucket of stubborn, imagine a whole family of Lucklighters.

Eden Winters sure did, and gave them a passel of problems to go with getting back in the same room. Bo’s not going to know what hit him.

Book 6 of the Diversion series is on preorder at Amazon, and ready to read on August 19, 2017. In print and Mobi, covered with L.C. Chase’s artwork, in 330 pages of love and trouble.

Ready?

Now on preorder: Two Bears and a Baby

By

On preorder now at Amazon, and available widely to read on July 1.

You wanted to know what the bear shifters Sawyer and Dillon got up to next, didn’t you? Not to mention Brad the fox shifter with the libido from hell, Jerry and Kevin, the wolf cousins who have Dillon’s back, and that skulking mutt rogue wolf Brian?

The adventures on Ballantine Mountain continue. Even if you haven’t read A Bear Walks Into a Bar, you’ll enjoy Two Bears and a Baby.

In fact, you’ll enjoy the story more than Dillon does, because you aren’t the one with the bulging belly.

Yes, we got a little goofy: Eden wrote a whole mountain full of great characters, and Pam had to play with them. Mpreg is a departure for us, but honest, Dillon was so ripe for it! All Pam had to say was, “You know, if Dillon and Sawyer…” and Eden didn’t even need to hear the rest of the sentence before the idea became a novel.  We be ebil, but only in the best way.

A bear walked into a bar—and found a family.

The Urso of Ballantine Mountain intended to run a ragtag bunch of shifters out of his territory. Instead, Sawyer Ballantine found his mate. Once the lone bear on the mountain, now Sawyer shares his life and bed with Dillon, who’s still learning how to be a proper bear. Sawyer tells the stories of the First Bears, from whom all other bear shifters descended, but how did two male bears become the fathers of many?

The varied shifters of Ballantine Mountain coexist peacefully—Sawyer manages them with an iron paw. Yet danger lurks. The wolves have plans of their own, and they don’t include taking orders from bears.

Two bears, seven wolves, no contest.

If Dillon didn’t heave every time he smells bacon.

Two Bears and a Baby follows on from A Bear Walks Into a Bar but can be read as a standalone.

This 192 page novel contains randy bears, rogue wolves, a bitey fox shifter, and a certain amount of morning sickness. All yours to read on July 1. Or sooner if you like paperbacks.

 

Coming soon: Two Bears and a Baby

Bear-165x244 Sawyer and Dillon are back. Eden Winters wrote a mountain full of shifters, and P.D. Singer couldn’t leave them be. Some back and forth, and a new story emerged. All your favorite characters who run the Bear Claw Bar or live on Ballantine Mountain are introduced here, from Sawyer, the Urso, Dillon, the young, untrained bear shifter, to Brad, the fox shifter with a heart of gold and the libido from hell.

With a cast like this, you can bet that not only is their first story explosive, but that they have more adventures coming.

o-naked-tailsAnd you may recall Eden’s lovely Southern-flavored romance about possum shifters and small town politics. Too much fun not to stir some Naked Tails into the mix.

Now that story’s almost ready to share. Brace yourselves, because there’s more adventures coming on Ballantine Mountain.

Settling the Score, now up for preorder

By

settling-blue-360x570Eden Winter’s Lambda Award Finalist is back, with elegant art from Jacqueline Sweet and an even finer polish.  Joey and Troy have a surprise for the Hollywood hos who did them dirt, and a better surprise for each other.

Preorder price for Settling the Score is 99 cents, so get yours early.

***

Outed and dumped on national television by his rising star boyfriend, Joey Nichols must face the bigotry of the locals in his small Southern town alone. His dreams of a happy ever after lie crushed at his feet.

Novelist Troy Steele has an axe to grind against Hollywood heartbreaker types. Transforming Joey into a gorgeous, unobtainable hunk would be payback worthy of Troy’s poison pen. It’s a brilliant way to get back at Joey’s image-obsessed ex-boyfriend and the movie producer who’s mutilating Troy’s novels.

What begins as simple revenge may tangle them together in something far more complicated. Living well may be the best revenge, but Troy and Joey could rewrite that to loving well.

The second edition of this Lambda Award Finalist is available for preorder now, ready to read October 6.

A Bear Walks Into A Bar by Eden Winters

By

AMZ-Bear-cover It takes one strong alpha with a tight grip to keep a mountain full of shifters under control. Sawyer Ballantine’s contending with an uppity wolf leader and a herd of shifter elk bound and determined to take over. He might be the lone bear on the mountain, but he’s not going to allow another four shifters to just move in, especially not when they whiff of power. They’ll either be his in all ways, or they’ll be gone.

Dillon, Jerry, Kevin, and Brad have no one but each other since their groups kicked them out. The young bear, wolves, and fox make a merry ménage, pooling their meager skills and serving beer. They’ve stumbled into more than they understand, caught in the dispute between the Urso of Ballantine Mountain and the elk. But winter’s setting in, and they don’t know how to keep Dillon safe for hibernation.

And then a bear walks into their bar.

Diversion by Eden Winters

By

Pageflex Persona [document: PRS0000035_00023]There are good guys, bad guys, and then there’s Lucky.

Former drug trafficker Richmond “Lucky” Lucklighter flaunts his past like a badge of honor. He speaks his mind, doesn’t play nice, and flirts with disaster while working off his sentence with the Southeastern Narcotics Bureau. If he can keep out of trouble a while longer he’ll be a free man–after he trains his replacement.

Textbook-quoting, by the book Bo Schollenberger is everything Lucky isn’t. Lucky slurps coffee, Bo lives caffeine free. Lucky worships bacon, Bo eats tofu. Lucky trusts no one, Bo calls suspects by first name. Yet when the chips are down on their shared case of breaking up a drug diversion ring, they may have more in common than they believe.

Two men. Close quarters. Friction results in heat. But Lucky scoffs at partnerships, no matter how thrilling the roller-coaster. Bo has two months to break down Lucky’s defenses… and seconds are ticking by.
