About HARD TO BE GOOD:
Hard Ink Tattoo owner Jeremy Rixey has taken on his
brother’s stateside fight against the forces that nearly killed Nick and his
Special Forces team a year before. Now, Jeremy’s whole world has been turned
upside down—not the least of which by a brilliant, quiet blond man who tempts
Jeremy to settle down for the first time ever.
Recent kidnapping victim Charlie Merritt has always been
better with computers than people, so when he’s drawn into the SF team’s
investigation of his army colonel father’s corruption, he’s surprised to find
acceptance and friendship—especially since his father never accepted who
Charlie was. Even more surprising is the heated tension Charlie feels with
sexy, tattooed Jeremy, Charlie’s opposite in almost every way.
With tragedy and chaos all around them, temptation flashes
hot, and Jeremy and Charlie can’t help but wonder why they’re trying so hard to
be good...
EXCERPT:
“You should be inside celebrating,” Jeremy said, his voice a
raw scrape. “You and Marz did an amazing thing this morning.” An hour ago, Marz
and Charlie had cracked open a heavily encrypted microchip that contained a
wealth of information that not only seemed likely to help the team clear its
name, but proved that Charlie’s father hadn’t been dirty, like they’d all
thought. “And I’m so happy for you about your dad.”
A wounded darkness passed through Charlie’s gaze, but he
finally nodded. “Didn’t feel right without you there.” Pink filtered into his
cheeks, and damn if that wasn’t as cute as it was sexy. Jeremy wasn’t sure
anything had ever made him blush.
“I’m just not—” Jeremy shrugged and looked down at Charlie’s
chest again. Having seen the guy dress more than once, he knew that shirt
covered lean muscle that ran from strong shoulders down to his narrow hips.
Jeremy fisted his hands against the urge to burrow them under the hem of the
tee. After weeks of looking, and wanting, he was dying to
touch. Jeremy found Charlie hard to read though, and hadn’t wanted to do
anything to scare him off. “—very good company right now. I’m sorry if that—”
Charlie nudged Jeremy’s chin up with his hand, his fingers
just barely touching Jer’s stubble-covered skin. But then his thumb landed
softly against his lips.
Jeremy’s heartbeat kicked up and his lips fell open. Slowly,
oh so tentatively, Charlie stroked the soft pad of his thumb back and forth
across them.
“Charlie,” Jeremy whispered as arousal surged through his
body, spiking his pulse, tensing his muscles, hardening his dick.
Uncertainty poured off Charlie as the man’s hand trembled
where it touched him, but those blue eyes absolutely blazed desire. No way was
Jeremy imagining that.
“You’re always good company, to me,” Charlie said in a low
voice, his gaze dropping to Jeremy’s lips. Charlie leaned in closer, and closer
still, and Jeremy could hardly believe the other man was the one to initiate
this. But he was fucking thrilled.
Jeremy swallowed, his lips anticipating that first soft
brush. Charlie was so close his shaky breath caressed Jeremy’s lips. His pace
was maddening but so damn sexy Jer could barely breathe. And then Charlie’s
eyelids fluttered closed and he was right there…
