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?

A new shifter novel from Kayla Jameth: Save a Horse, Dive a Cowboy

By

With a name like that, you know there’s a story.

Turns out a rollicking conversation turned into a challenge. Here’s a title, Kayla: write us a story to go with it. Josh Lanyon knows how to get an author’s imagination going.

So Kayla’s taken us to the America Southwest and set the Trickster upon our loving couple. Because Coyote never saw a beautiful thing he didn’t want for himself.

Now at Amazon and soon at other retailers: Save a Horse, Dive a Cowboy.

Shep’s just your average all-American cowboy. He runs his own ranch and rides the occasional saddle bronc. Nothing special there.

Unless you look too closely at his boyfriend.

Descended from a long line of Native American mustang shifters, Charlie “Hoss” Running Horse is anything but average.

When Coyote takes a shine to Shep, he decides that Hoss has got to go. With the theft of the medicine horseshoe that allows Hoss to shift from mustang to human, Coyote sets his evil plan to have his way with Shep in motion.

Will Shep be able to save Hoss before it’s too late? Or will Coyote destroy his rival?

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.

Alex Waterman is ashamed of his “vile, unnatural desires” and lives a in a desolate world of loneliness and suffering until discovering… it’s not his life. Suddenly he’s swept away to a place where his desires aren’t evil, they’re a mark of the dominant he’s born to be, and appreciative stares and aggressive flirting replace fear and self-loathing. But one night stands aren’t on the menu: Alex seeks “the one” to complete the missing piece of his soul.

Boy-next-door Ulrich calls to Alex, as does the gorgeous but self-destructive Cutter, and an element of irresistible danger clings to bad boy Storm. How can Alex decide between three tempting possibilities?

Maybe he should keep them all…

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.

Lola Dances by Victor J. Banis

By

loladances_final02Now in a collector’s print edition!  Victor J. Banis’ landmark Western tale is back!

Sometimes funny, sometimes tragic and often bawdy, Lola Dances ranges from the 1850 slums of the Bowery to the mining camps of California and Montana, to the Barbary Coast of San Francisco.

Little Terry Murphy, pretty and effeminate, dreams of becoming a dancer. Raped by a drunken profligate and threatened with prison, Terry flees the Bowery to disappear into the wilderness of the West.  In the rugged settlement of Alder Gulch, he stands out like a sore  thumb among the camp’s macho inhabitants – until the day he puts on a dress and dances for the unsuspecting miners. As beautiful Lola  Valdez, fame and fortune are within reach, and so, ultimately, is  love.

Finally Fallen (Dark Angels Book 3) by Z. Allora

By

Finally Fallen Pic (LOGO)What’s the use of being a rock legend if you have no one to share the fame and fortune with? Not that Dusty Davis is looking. He’s content taking care of himself, his bandmates, and his rambunctious younger brothers.

And while the rest of The Dark Angels are happily paired with men, Dusty can’t be gay. A night in a club brings him face to face with the woman of his dreams. J is articulate, well-read, witty, and smart. How could Dusty not finally fall?

J didn’t mean to deceive Dusty; he introduced himself as Justin, after all. He didn’t realize the drummer heard, “Justine” and missed the other cues. Dusty’s declarations of love sounded too good to be true. After all, who could possibly want someone as broken as Justin?

But the heart wants what the heart wants, and love knows no gender.

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.
