Exclusive Excerpt:
Garrettās head pounded, and not from the hangover that would greet him with the sunrise, but from being slammed against the wall. Or maybe it was from the few punches that came later when he crashed to the floor of Ye Ole Boston Brew Pub and knocked his head on the beer-stained tile.
He rubbed his unshaven face, and dried blood flaked into his hand. Great. He needed a shower and an aspirin, but the Boston city jail offered neither. Where the hell was Peter? It had been over an hour.
The sharp edge of the narrow bench he lay on cut into his back, making his already battered body even more sore. He only hoped the other guy felt worse. The jerk had the audacity to call him washed up. For Christās sake, he was only twenty-two. Heād accomplished more in the last five years than that asshole would in a lifetime.
Reaching for his phone, he remembered the cops had taken it, along with his wallet and keys. Damn it.
āGarrett Jamieson,ā a bored cop with thinning hair announced, unlocking the cell. āYouāre free to go.ā
āAbout damn time,ā Garrett huffed, rising slowly. He tugged his shirt into place, smoothed back his hair, and followed the officer down a long corridor past several cells with other perps. He couldnāt wait to get away from this hellhole. The officer opened a solid metal security door, and Garrett walked through, relieved to be free.
In the far corner of the waiting room, studying the Most Wanted posters, his brother waited, wearing faded jeans and a gray T-shirt.
āHey Peter,ā he called. āSee anyone you know?ā
Peter turned with a smirk on his face and his hair still ruffled from bed. āJust checking to make sure your ugly mug isnāt up here.ā
Garrett sneered. āIt wasnāt my fault.ā
āNever is.ā Peter sighed. āYou realize this is becoming an annoying habit. Youāre lucky your Jag is still in the shop from your crash last week, otherwise you might have added drunk driving to your record.ā
āStop acting like an old woman.ā
āYou have more to worry about than me. Dad isnāt going to be happy about this.ā
āNo reason Dad needs to hear about it.ā
āYouāre kidding yourself if you think you can keep this under wraps. A couple of photographers are outside. Youāre busted. Again.ā
Garrett stepped to the counter and signed his discharge papers.
āAt least I know how to live a little. Youāre tied down to a ball and chain.ā
His brother grinned with a smile that melted millions of young girlsā hearts. āWell, I happen to have the hottest ball and chain on the planet.ā
