*This book is #2 in the 'Bama Boys
series. While it can be read as a standalone, it is a continuation of book #1
and is meant to be read after Forever Red.*
Putting others needs before his own was
all Mike Carson had ever done.
First, it was the friends he loved more
than family. Then it was his country. By nineteen, he was a father, a husband
and fighting in a war not many people believed in. After an accident ended his
career and his life fell apart, he filled his days keeping screaming fans from
reaching the most famous country rock star in the world. And, pining after a
woman who would never love him.
Then, everything changed.
He thought he could handle anything that
was thrown his way. He thought running my security detail would be the easiest
job he’d ever had. He thought he’d be able to keep me safe without getting
attached.
He was wrong.
They call me reckless, selfish, and
slutty. In reality, I’ve just stopped caring what everyone else thinks. I’m
determined to have some fun, to live life my way, and to make Mike realize that
being a little selfish isn't the worst thing in the world.
I think we both have our work cut out
for us.

Forever Red
The knock on the door drifted through
my dreams, but I wasn’t ready to greet the day. An arm tightened around me,
bringing my back closer to a toned chest, and I smiled. Last night had been
amazing. So had this morning when Mike had woken me up with his tongue.
There were many things I’d seen
while on tour with Nate—national monuments, wonders of the world, Mother
Nature’s miracles. Nothing, and I mean nothing, was better than waking
up to the view of Mike’s face between my thighs. The thought alone had me
squeezing my legs together and pushing back into his warmth.
I had just started to drift back
into unconsciousness when a door shut somewhere in the distance.
“Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey!”
Lia’s voice, way too perky that early in the morning, called out from the
porch.
Mike growled out an inaudible
response in his sleep, and I smiled, in complete agreement. When she called
again, though, my subconscious wouldn’t let me ignore it and I was suddenly
very awake. And very naked. Next to an equally bare Mike. I sat up in a panic.
Lia was leaning against the open
French doors, laughing silently. “Morning, sunshine.”
Not only was she too energetic
after drinking as much as she had the night before, she was too fucking happy
about walking in on us. “This isn’t what it looks like.”
Her laughter bubbled out. “No?”
Before I could answer, a thick arm
wrapped itself around my waist, making me jump in surprise, and pulled me back
to the bed. Rolling over me, so his back was to the door, sheltering me, he
kissed the tip of my nose. “Hello, beautiful.” He didn’t let me respond before
he lifted his middle finger toward our friend. “It’s exactly what it looks
like. Now fuck off.”
“I really wish I could.” The joy
in her voice was clear, making me roll my eyes. “But we have to be on the road
in fifteen minutes.”
“Ever hear of a fucking phone?”
Mike asked, irritation clear.
Lia actually tsked at him, the way
a mother or sister would. “Somebody didn’t get enough sleep last night.”
“I swear to fucking Christ, Lee…”
Mike growled back.
Lia either didn’t take the threat
seriously, or she didn’t care, laughing again. “Both of your phones went
straight to voice mail, so I volunteered to come down and get you.” Clapping
her hands, she continued. “Up, up. We’ve gotta get moving.”
Mike rolled his eyes. “Do not
move.” Looking over his shoulder, he spoke to her. “I’m not getting out of this
bed until you leave.”
“Please. It isn’t like I haven’t
seen it before.”
Mike’s head jerked back to me when
my body stiffened as the shock of that statement rocked me to my core.
“No.” He shook his head, reading
my thoughts. “No.” I felt the blood drain from my face as a million different
thoughts flooded my mind. A giant palm cupped my cheek and he leaned in to kiss
me, as if trying to force my panic away. His thumb slid over my cheek as he
spoke, “Clarify that, Lee.”
