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.

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.

A “New Adult” novel from D.H. Starr: Wrestling With Love

By

The second part of Scott and Derek’s story is almost here! Wrestling With Love follows these young men to their freshman year of college.  Where their first story was Young Adult, they’re maturing and becoming more sexually active, so consider this new novel to be New Adult. They are definitely facing adult challenges with coursework, classmates, and responsibility.

As a pre-release special, the first part of their story is on sale for $0.99, so if you’re coming in fresh to the series this is a great time to start Wrestling with Desire. And if you’ve been waiting for Scott and Derek’s next adventure, be ready to read on April 19.  You can preorder starting now at Amazon, and the rest of your favorite retailers as links go live.

~~~~~~~~~~

Derek Thompson and Scott Thayer met in high school. Facing challenges and overcoming obstacles that would make lesser young men fold, they now have a chance to forge a life together. As they enter college, they finally have the time and space to discover each other sexually and give their virginity to each other. However, in spite of the erotic thrill of exploration, there are still challenges ahead, challenges that will test their love and devotion.

While Derek wants to live as an openly gay man, Scott wished to maintain a degree of privacy. Not only that, but another freshman, Tyrell Jackson, becomes infatuated with Derek and wants Derek for his own. In the face of these threats to their burgeoning relationship, Derek and Scott are forced to look within themselves and make difficult decisions which will change both of their lives forever.

Is their relationship strong enough to bear the strain of balancing their needs as individuals and as a couple? The only way Derek and Scott will attain their ultimate reward is by finding the courage to face their fears. Will they rise to the challenge?​​​​

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.

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?

Zombies Suck (Club Zombie #2) by Z. Allora

By

ZombieSuckCover164x244Forget undead corpses searching for brains. These zombies crave a different kind of head that keeps them young forever. Club Zombie offers safe haven, providing sexy ways to extract what they need from patrons, and the opportunity to find their destined mate.

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…

Set Up by P.D. Singer

By

V4 set up cover“Say hi to Doug at the car show.” Just because Keith is a good pal, has good intentions and has great taste in men doesn’t mean Terry wants his own personal matchmaker.  With his luck and past experience, he and the man Keith set him up with would hate each other on sight. Besides, Terry can’t look for the elusive Doug; he’s too busy ogling a certain gorgeous 1949 MG TC.

The sleek roadster stands out even among a field of classic beauties, and so does the driver. Is it too much to ask that the guy forget about Terry making a fool of himself over the right hand drive and sexy red fenders? Not likely he’ll forget Terry accidentally flinging a bowl of coleslaw at his chest.

If terminal embarrassment isn’t bad enough, now Terry’s had a dental disaster, leaving him with two choices: stay in agony for days, or see the new man in the practice.

Terry’s at the office by one thirty sharp. And he’s parked next to a red MG.

Set Up is the latest short story in the On Call series.

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.
