We are so, so excited to bring you guy the Release Week Blitz for Laura Kaye's HARD TO BE GOOD!!
HARD TO BE GOOD is a novella in Laura's Hard Ink Series, published by Avon Romance.
We absolutely love Laura's Hard Ink men and are so excited to see Jeremy and Charlie get their HEA!!
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…
