The Dirty Martini
Cover Artist: Renee George
Publisher: Renee George
We've
got blurbage: When bartender Chris Lawson goes into shock
after getting the worst news of his life, he wakes up in the arms of Marty
Lincoln, an Army Ranger on leave from his post. Even in his grief, Chris feels
instantly connected to the war-ravaged vet.
Only two problems: Marty is his boss’s younger
brother. And even if that wasn't an obstacle, the battle-hardened Ranger is
straight. Or is he?
***This
takes place in the CockTail serials world, but is a standalone novella.
And a
sneak peek: Driving up the highway, only a couple hours from
his hometown, Chris allowed the surrealness of the situation to envelope him.
Marty hadn’t said more than a few perfunctory words to him since they’d stopped
at Chris’s apartment to pick up his things for the two-day trip, and he’d made
a point of not making eye contact with Chris. The silence and distance lingered
between them—a thick and heavy barrier. Did Marty already regret his decision
to take Chris home? They barely knew each other. They weren’t friends, and one
night didn’t make them lovers.
Chris pursed his lips, steeling his courage to
give Marty an out. “About last night. It doesn’t have to mean anything. Just
two people hanging out, hooking up. It’s not a big deal.” He snapped his mouth
shut and swallowed hard. God, he sounded like a rambling imbecile. Marty’s
white knuckles and seriously drawn brows indicated Chris was making things
worse not better. “Look. One time doesn’t mean your gay or anything. I was sad.
You were sad… or whatever. We helped each other. End of story. No reason to
feel bad or guilty. It’s not like I’m going to be heartbroken if you don’t want
me.”
Hearing his own words, the possible truth of
them, hit Chris like a punch to the gut. “I hope that’s not why you’re taking
me to my dad’s funeral. Because you feel guilty about what we did.”
The car slowed. Marty flipped the right blinker.
He pulled them over to the side of the highway, put the car in park, and turned
his head until his gaze fell on Chris.
Chris, who had some experience with the fight or
flight reflex, was suddenly in flight mode. He should’ve kept his mouth shut!
Marty looked like he was ready to beat the crap out him, and considering his
ranger training, Chris had little chance against him.
When Marty undid his seatbelt and turned his
body to face the passenger seat, Chris pressed his back against the door. Marty
leaned over the console between them until his face hovered inches from
Chris’s. Chris tucked his chin and closed his eyes, bracing for the punch.
His eyes fluttered open when he felt the
unexpected warm press of Marty’s lips against his own. Not the punch he was
expecting, but just as hard of a knockout. Marty’s eyes had softened at the
edges, but he still looked angry when he pulled back.
“I’ve wanted to do that since I walked in on you
having coffee with Jay this morning. Not kissing you before now has been the
hardest part of my day.”
Stunned, Chris said nothing when Marty sat back
in his seat, put his seatbelt on, and started the car. “Have I cleared up your
confusion?”
Chris shook his head and smiled. “Not at all.”
I'll tell you what...he hasn't cleared up my
confusion either—only one way to do that...get this book here!
