Ebook giveaway: Blood on the Mountain (The Mountains #4) by PD Singer [CONTEST CLOSED]

66 Comments

Congrats to Monica J, who won From Out in the Cold by L.A. Witt! From Out in the Cold is being released today by Loose Id.

Many thanks to PD Singer for donating an ebook copy of her forthcoming m/m romance, Blood on the Mountain (The Mountains #4), for a lucky commenter to win! Blood on the Mountain will be released by Dreamspinner Press on December 14.

Jake Landon thinks a second ranger season in the Colorado Rockies with Kurt Carlson is close enough to heaven, and a national forest is big enough to be his closet. Pharmacy school – and the luxuries of electricity and running water – can wait, maybe forever, as long as Jake doesn’t have to come out. He doesn’t plan on Kurt’s vision of his future being as narrow and direct as the single track roads through the trees.

“Your future, your fear, and me,” Kurt tells Jake. “You can have two of the three, so choose wisely.” Jake may have no choices left after they stumble on armed men guarding a beautiful but deadly crop that doesn’t belong among the pines and spruces. Angry men with guns are only one danger in the Colorado wilderness, and Jake’s reluctance to come out is now his smallest problem.

Kurt’s skills and Jake’s silver tongue may not be enough to get them out of this mess – how much of the blood shed on the mountain will be theirs?

About PD

PD Singer lives in Colorado with her slightly bemused husband, two rowdy teenage boys, and thirty pounds of cats, all of whom approach carefully when she’s in a writing frenzy. She’s a big believer in research, first-hand if possible, so the reader can be quite certain PD has skied down a mountain face-first, been stepped on by rodeo horses, acquired a potato burn or two, and will never, ever, write a novel that includes sky-diving.

When not writing, playing her fiddle, or skiing, she can be found with a book in hand. Her husband blesses the advent of ebooks — they’re staving off the day the house collapses from the weight of the printed page.

You can follow her adventures on her blog and on Facebook.

Not sure exactly how May’s left eye is going to look in the end. Not only did it get scratched during the Chaotic Misadventure, but after she developed the abscess in the back of her mouth, the left side of her face was all swollen… the point where she couldn’t completely close her left eye the morning the vet drained the abscess. From back when Chaos scratched his eye, I know it will take her a while to get used to holding that eye completely open again, so hopefully the pirate thing is temporary. But while her left pupil reacts to light ok, it also seems to stay slightly larger than the right. Still! She’s alive and getting back to herself, which is the biggest thing.
