Running to Him is ready for you.

By

Pam’s first book in a new series, Men of Monument, is out all over!

Running to Him, Tim and Carson’s story, has some heavy moments, but it also has the blossoming of Tim’s first love, and the thawing of Carson’s heart. Uniting against a common foe will do that to you. They’ve got a dilly, because it’s someone who should want Tim to live his best life and be happy. Well, she does, but only if he uses her definitions.

Here’s the blurb:

Fresh out of college with a chemistry degree, Tim Ratliff’s desperate to move out on his own. He yearns for his own home, his own rules, and the freedom to find the kind of man he’s always dreamed of for his first time. Tim’s applied at every laboratory he can find, but his job search is coming up crickets.

Monument Pharma would be his dream job, and Lorraine in Human Resources swears he’s a shoo-in to be hired. Wonderful, except that’s the one job he dare not take.

At thirty-three, Carson Eddinger’s life is just about perfect—a great position at Monument Pharma, nice home, sweet ride—except for the no boyfriend part. And the constant sniping from the woman in Human Resources.

She isn’t just a thorn in Carson’s side at work—she’s also Tim’s mom, and she has a white picket fence plan for Tim that definitely doesn’t involve a happy ever after with Carson.

They’ve poked the bear. Now they have to outrun it.

***

Keep an eye out for their friends, because Carson’s hardly the only man at Monument Pharma who needs an HEA.  Can Wes find someone who doesn’t want to wring his neck in four hours or less? Can Dave get past his own demons?

Available at Rocky Ridge Books, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Apple, and other retailers, in mobi, epub, and print.  This is a little different, because we’re rolling out a Rocky Ridge Books store.  But you can get your choice of mobi or epub direct from your favorite micro-publisher. The link will take you to the solid folks at Payhip, our engine, and you can bypass the big retailers if that’s a thing that trips your trigger. More books will be available as we can get them out.

Happy reading!

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.

Coming soon, D.H. Starr’s Wrestling series

By

Like Young Adult? Get sniffly at young love finding its way through the thickets of maturing into young men? You’re going to love Rocky Ridge’s newest author.

Welcome, Doug Starr, or, as we find him in the bookstores, D.H. Starr. He’s redone his sweet YA series just for us, complete with stunning new covers and, dare I say it? A fourth book! We get to start with Wrestling With Desire, follow our protagonists to college in Wrestling With Love, see them blossom, with maybe some crash and burn (come on, this is D.H. Starr, you know he won’t go easy on his characters!) and love each other in Wrestling With Passion, and finally, Wrestling With Hope.

We’re starting Derek and Scott’s journey at the beginning, when Book 1 comes out this weekend.

I’ve just finished reading my shiny new copy of Wrestling With Desire, and love it even more than the first incarnation. This is a book I would put into the hands of a teen who wants a good story and could use a few guideposts on working out what real love is. And I would press it into the hands of an adult who wants to watch young men come of age and learn about themselves without following them into the bedroom. This is YA, and appropriately focused on the feelings, rather than the bodies, of the characters.

Derek and Scott are wrestlers too, so Doug gives us some heavy competition and a good look at winning and losing, and what that means to a young man’s growth.

Let’s follow them on their journey.

~Pam

Derek Thomas is a senior and a wrestler, and has a secret. He’s gay.

Scott Thayer is a new student who’s just moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts from Iowa. On the first day of school Derek and Scott meet, and their lives change in an instant.

As Derek and Scott discover the things they have in common, they enter into one of the closest, most loving relationships either of them has ever experienced. When unexpected circumstances threaten to tear them apart, they both have to make a decision.

Do they protect their secret and separate? Or fight for what they want…each other.

Coming in MOBI, EPUB, and print, August 26.

Prep Work by P.D. Singer

By

CoverDesignExhausted after eating his way through the local cuisines in the back of beyond, celebrity chef Jude Marshall ditches his camera crew during a London layover. He’s ready for a beer and plain, familiar food, the sort a random pub could provide. What’s this artfully presented dish where plain pea soup should be? Parsley? Really? Demonstrating his lack of a brain to mouth filter earns him a glower from his server—and a visit from chef Tommy Bell, a fan of both Jude’s show and his cooking.

Maybe signing Tommy’s copy of Jude’s cookbook will make amends for his lack of tact. When the unexpected arrival of picky diners puts Tommy behind in the kitchen, Jude wants to lend a hand, for the joy of cooking and Tommy’s smile.

Stumbling into this gastro-pub might be the best mistake Jude’s ever made.

Includes bonus story Breaking the Fast
