Living is the easy part.
Agent Lucky Lucklighter and his partner escaped
Mexico alive, only to plunge into bureaucratic fallout from their mission.
Hell, maybe Lucky should have stayed south of the border. Especially when the
Southeastern Narcotics Bureau places Bo into rehab, and Lucky’s facing both
therapy and an inquiry into a fatal shooting. Watching over his shoulder for a
vengeful drug lord or a cartel don calling in favors leaves him scarcely able
to imagine a future for them as agents, or as a couple.
Bo Schollenberger once had a vision for their life
together, but he’s bowed beneath the weight of his undercover work. Lucky’s
hanging on by his deeply chewed fingernails, clinging to hope by making Bo’s
dreams of a home into reality. The last thing he needs is a phone call from a
dangerous man who knows too much, summoning him back to Mexico for “an early
Christmas present.”
Not when the SNB brass asks tough questions, like
“How well do you know your partner?”

Excerpt:
“What’s your current credit rating?”
Lucky didn’t often use credit.
After getting out of prison to work for Walter, he’d bought his car from a
police auction for cash, and lived a low-key lifestyle. Before that, Victor
Mangiardi had taken care of him. A nice way to live, but other than a car
stereo in his teens, he’d never made payments on anything. And he’d been
Richmond Lucklighter then. He’d only been Simon Harrison for a short time, and
although he’d used credit cards to make expense reporting easier when on
assignment, he paid them off every month. “I’m not sure.”
“Then let’s see.” The woman
tapped on her laptop and whistled. “Mr. Harrison, I don’t think we’ll have a
problem getting you the loan.”
He owed Walter one hell of a lot
of those frou-frou coffee drinks from Starbucks for giving him a credit score
to make a loan officer whistle.
An hour later Lucky fought to
hide a grin from a woman who’d put the Energizer Bunny to shame. “Now, I’m
familiar with the house you’re considering. Offer 180. Trust me.” She winked
and handed him the phone.
He pulled a dog-eared card from
his wallet and dialed.
“Mr. Harrison?” The Realtor
didn’t sound too happy to hear from him, not that he blamed her. She’d been
working hard for her commission. That’s why she got commission.
“Is that house still available?
The fixer-upper in the gated neighborhood?”
“Y… yes.”
“I want to make an offer.”
Now what was he gonna tell Bo?

About the
author:
Captivated young by story-telling, Eden
Winters’ earliest memories include spinning tales for the family’s pets. Her
dreams of writing professionally took a sojourn into non-fiction, with a
twelve-year stint in technical documentation.
She began reading GLBT novels as a way
to better understand the issues faced by a dear friend and fell in love with
the M/M romance genre. During a discussion of a favorite book, a fellow
aficionado said, “We could do this, you know.” Good-bye gears, motors, and
other authors’ characters; hello plots and sex scenes.
Somewhat of a nomad, Eden has visited
seven countries so far. She currently calls the southern US home, and many of
her stories take place in the rural South. Having successfully raised two
children, she now balances the day job with hiking, rafting, spoiling her
grandchildren, and stalking the wily falafel or elusive tofu pad Thai at her
favorite restaurants. Her musical tastes run from Ambient to Zydeco, and she’s
a firm believer that life is better with fur kids and Harley Davidsons.
