Grass Stains

Fireworks aren't the only things exploding this Fourth of July…

Carson Rawlings has had a crush on his brother's best friend, Sam, for as long as he can remember. Four years younger and a world apart, Carson never acted on it, of course. But when a dorm room scandal sends him home from college with his tail between his legs and all the good summer jobs already taken in his tiny hometown of Cherry Hollow, Kentucky, Sam's landscaping company is his only chance at gainful employment.

Sam Garland doesn't recognize the long, sexy stranger who walks in his office door bearing a nervous smile and arms full of tattoos, but it's the Fourth of July weekend and he's shorthanded, so he snatches the kid up in a heartbeat. When he finds out his sexy new applicant is none other than Carson Rawlings, his old pal's younger brother, he can hardly believe it. Nor can he control the way he feels about Carson as they work together, toiling and sweating side by side in the sun for two sexy, sinful days straight. But will an innocent invitation to watch the fireworks together from Sam's roof prove to be their undoing? Or the beginning of a long, hot summer spent defying taboos and sharing something a whole lot closer to love?
