BA Tortuga is here today to give us a taste of the first book in her best-selling series!
Hey, y’all! I’m BA Tortuga, resident redneck
and lover of all the voices in my head. This is an excerpt from the rerelease
of my first best-selling erotic novel, Rain and Whiskey. Galen and Shane are
some of those boys that communicate one way – with their bodies. ;-)
Much love, y’all.

Excerpt
The thrum of rain on
the roof woke him up, and Galen stretched, automatically looking at the clock,
even though these days he had nowhere to be on Sunday unless his momma was
visiting. Which she surely was not, not with having the body next to him in bed
that he did, blocking the view of the little red numbers on the nightstand
opposite him. Damn. It was hot enough they’d thrown off all the covers, and
that was one sweet piece of man, stretched out lazy and covered with bruises.
His bruises. Galen half
laughed at himself because that made his morning wood more than just morning
wood, and that would have been good if his stomach hadn’t decided to growl like
a pissed-off rottweiler right about then.
It could wait. A
little.
Galen rolled out of bed
and headed off to the bathroom before making his way to the kitchen, starting
the coffee, and leaning on the counter, head down and half-asleep while it
brewed.
He heard the bed creak,
heard the water running and the flush, then the little banty rooster of a man
wandered in, bare chested and barefooted, poured back into those jeans, eyes as
blue as clear water. “Morning.”
Well, damn. Now he felt
underdressed and hanging out all over. “Morning. Want some coffee?”
He got a nod, one hand
brushing his ass. “Thanks.”
“Not a problem.” A
close look told him Shane was still mostly asleep and wasn’t looking to get out
the door in any hurry, so Galen relaxed and poured coffee for both of them as
he contemplated breakfast.
Now, why it should
matter if Shane wanted a ride back into town was a mystery. ’Cept maybe the
last few yokels he’d hooked up with had run away screaming after he started
playing a little rough. “Here. You like eggs?”
“Mm-hmm.” Shane drank
deep, marked throat working. “Man, I haven’t been awake this early after
sleeping in a hundred years.”
“Didn’t mean to wake
you.” Eggs, milk, bacon. Oh, if he was gonna cook bacon, he’d best put on
pants. Shame too, because he liked how Shane was looking at him. “Let me just
go get something on.”
Those eyes admired him,
started to shine, to wake up. “I’d offer to cook, but I don’t. I can make one
hell of a Bloody Mary though.”
“I bet you can.” He
stopped right on the way by, pushing Shane back against the wall, kissing him
hard. “Be right back.”
That was a good look
for Shane, all dazed and flushed. Galen went and slipped into sweatpants, then
came back into the kitchen to find Shane right where he’d left him. He got a
sheepish grin and those cheeks went pink, one hand rubbing that flat belly. Oh,
that was hot.
Blurb:
Stormy
Weather: Book One
Galen
Frost buys a house and a bait shop in a small Florida town to get away from his
life as a semipro football player. When he meets good-time bartender Shane
Barton, the heat between them is instant and intense—like the burn of good
whiskey.
Galen
and Shane don’t have much in common beyond their healthy libidos and their love
of a good time, but the intoxicating heat brings them together like rain on the
ocean, whipping up a frenzy of weather… good and bad. When trouble blows
ashore, they will have to ride out the storm that breaks between them as
Galen’s past rears its ugly head.
