Some free side stories for you

By

Everyone staying in? Staying healthy?  Eden and Pam have stories to encourage you.

Bo and Lucky have had a dreadful time at holidays. Somehow their cases conspire to keep them away from each other, but Eden’s done a little something to make their Christmas memorable. Free for a few days at Amazon:

Lucky has dreamed of an old-fashioned Christmas with Bo for years. Unfortunately, something always got in the way. This year is looking unusually promising, though, if they can keep well-intentioned family and work from spoiling the magic of the season. Their first Christmas together will set the bar for years to come, which means blending their favorite traditions and taking the best of both.

Last minute shopping? Bo’s list. Holiday junk food? Lucky’s. Nostalgic Christmas songs? Bo’s. Hiding to avoid the dreaded office Christmas party? Not Bo’s. And while Lucky is up for compromise, he’s got something extra special planned for his partner, something a little bit naughty and whole lot nice.

Amazon has your copy waiting.

 

Pam’s been getting the Mountain series back up and running. So far, Fire on the Mountain and Snow on the Mountain of the novels are available, plus some shorts. Into the Mountains is the prequel for Fire, and it stands alone now, ready to be Kurt and Jake’s origin story, rather than hiding at the back of the book to make you go hmm.

Into the Mountains is free for a week via Rocky Ridge Books’ new storefront. We’re still under construction, but it’s worth braving the dust. There’s also a Mark and Allan free short, just to encourage you to look around.

Why did Kurt Carlson become a forest ranger?

Long before he met Jake, Kurt climbed the monoliths of Yosemite with his best friend, Benji. But after a storm traps them halfway up the face of El Capitan, Kurt has to accept that their friendship isn’t what he thought.

Why did Jake Landon become a forest ranger?

A trip with his college friends to a hot springs resort should be fun, not disastrous. But for a man who’s still deep in the closet, everything that can go wrong does go wrong.

Everything leads to two men alone in the wilderness in this prequel to Fire on the Mountain.

Hooves and Horns, now at Amazon

By

It’s rodeo like you’ve never seen it, courtesy of Eden Winters.

If bulls#*t could kill….

Professional rodeo rider Kerry Abrams is fed up with bulls#*t. Literally. If the bullshifter herd thinks a lowly mustang ain’t good enough for one of theirs? Good riddance. And good riddance to the too-hot-for-his-own-good, arrogant son of a cow who broke his heart and left him with one less thing to look forward to during rodeo season. He doesn’t miss Armando Castillo at all! Ever! Okay, maybe some. Or every minute of every day.

Why does Armando’s herd have to meddle in his love life? He had the man he wanted, and if that man happens to spend part of his time with hooves and a mane, munching apples beneath a full moon while Armando wears horns, Armando will happily plant Kerry a whole orchard.

Kerry and Armando may be rodeo stars—both in human and animal forms—but the ex-lovers’ rivalry is even more legendary than their riding skills. Armando plans to win his man back. What’s the use of all those silver belt buckles if he doesn’t intend to use ‘em?

This story made its debut in Butt Riders on the Range, but if you missed that collection of silliness and sexiness, you have another shot at Eden’s story, with some extra scenes that didn’t make it into the first version. Have some feels and fun, and that’s no BS.

If you’re a Kindle Unlimited reader, you have 90 days to borrow, or 99 cents will make it yours at Amazon. 

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.

 

Fallen Angel now available for preorder

By

Fallen-angel-V8-360x570Noah, the Angel of 13th Street, and his lover Jeremy are back.  Fallen Angel has had an Eden Winters polish and a whole new face.  With the special preorder price of $2.99 USD, buy your ebook now and read on February 27. If you prefer print, that’s live now!

 

Who can save the rescuer of lost souls?

For ten years ex-rent boy Noah Everett has fought the good fight, offering second chances to those still in the life. Now he’s cracking under the stress. What began as a two-man mission is now going corporate, meaning rules, regulations and inexperienced volunteers needing guidance in a field Noah makes up as he goes along. Who can he turn to when his mentor’s strength is all but gone and his lover is leaving for college—possibly for good?

Four years at State with a full ride scholarship will launch Jeremy Kincaid’s future, but his present includes Noah, Doc, and the closest he’s ever had to a family. And a meth addict who’s become Jeremy’s own personal mission.

An attack sends Noah spinning out of control. Jeremy has to find the way to reach Noah before the man he knows and loves disappears forever.

At Amazon now, and coming to other bookstores February 27.

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.

 

 

The Angel of 13th Street by Eden Winters

By

Angel164x244Noah Everett shed his rent boy existence for a bar and helping young men get a second chance at life. Haunted by those he couldn’t save, he keeps others at bay until his self-imposed loneliness is shattered by ambitious but homeless Jeremy Kincaid.

Aged out of the foster system, Jeremy’s the perfect target for a ruthless pimp like Willie Carnell. He wants no part of any future that includes working for Willie, but without a strong ally, he may not have a choice.

Noah knows exactly what Willie’s capable of, and if he’ll fight for strangers, he’ll fight harder for Jeremy.

Even if it takes confronting his own past.

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.
