It’s funny how you can wake up one day and realize that everything you’ve ever wanted has been right in front of your face all along. McCormick I’ve had some dark days. The day I lost my leg. The day I took a handful of innocent lives. The day I watched my buddy take his life because he couldn’t live with the consequences of our actions. They haunt me late at night. I hear them cry out for help. The only things that quiet the voices; My motorcycle, knitting, and my buddies—Stiles in particular. He’s always there when I need him, and when I don’t. But the loneliness lingers, and it hurts sometimes. Stiles I gave seven years to the Army, and in return, they took my memories. I got caught in the backlash of a land mine that caused a loss of my short-term memory function. I forget little things like appointments, and whether or not I forgot to turn off the stove or lock the door. But kissing my best friend? That’s a huge thing, something I’m not likely to forget. Another huge thing I can’t forget? That I’m a straight man who doesn’t kiss men. It’s too bad I’m not attracted to guys because we would be perfect together. In fact, I think we could make it work, as long as he doesn’t make it weird. But… Fuck, McCormick makes everything weird.

When a friendship sours and tempers flare, everything heats up. Pharo- Responsibility for human lives is the heaviest burden to bear, and it’s not something I ever want to shoulder again. Jax used to respect me when he was under my command. Now, I can’t even pay him to breathe the same air as me. His hatred runs deep, but it’s misplaced—and frankly, I’m tired of being the target of his scorn. Enough is enough. It’s time to show him how wrong he is—by reason or force. I shouldn’t be looking forward to this so much. Jax- If you can’t lead... don’t. But Pharo did. He took command of a team he never should have been responsible for, and I lost my best friend because of his bad judgment. I’ve spent years making sure he never forgets the pain he caused, and he’s spent years avoiding responsibility. But Pharo isn’t running anymore. And I’m learning the only thing sweeter than revenge is the taste of his mouth. Coming In Hot is the second book in the Bitches With Stitches series. A connected work of the Scars and Stripes Trilogy. Enemies to lovers, found family, action, hurt comfort, and badass men who knit.
