Congrats to Jen B, who won Last Stop by Lou Harper! Last Stop is being released today by Samhain Publishing.

Many thanks to Charlie Cochet for donating an ebook copy of her forthcoming m/m historical romantic suspense, The Auspicious Troubles of Chance, for a lucky commenter to win! The Auspicious Troubles of Chance will be released by Dreamspinner Press on Wednesday, June 20.

Chance Irving is a young man with a gift for getting into trouble – not surprising, as trouble is all he’s ever known. After losing everything he held dear one fateful night, he decides to leave New York and his past behind, and joins the French Foreign Legion. But even in Algiers, Chance can’t seem to shake his old ways, and he ends up being transferred to a unit made up of misfits and rabble-rousers like him – a unit he finds just in time to be captured and thrown into a cell with his new commandant, Jacky Valentine.

A highly respected commandant with a soft spot for hard luck cases, Jacky is the kind of guy who would go to war for you, and the three equally troubled youths from his unit he’s more or less adopted feel the same way about him. Suddenly Chance starts to think that his life doesn’t have to be as desolate and barren as the wastelands around him.

But even after their escape, with the promise of a future with Jacky to buoy his spirits, or maybe because of it, Chance can’t stop making mistakes. He disobeys orders, lashes out at the boys in Jacky’s care, and blazes a trail of self-destruction across the desert – until someone makes him realize he’s hurting more than just himself.
