Pursuit leads to grudging respect in their game of cat and mouse, which becomes a high-stakes game of seduction. Bart chases RJ to the Carnival of Mysteries and realizes that nothing is as it seems. A dark witch’s curse ups the ante, creating a deadline for revenge and redemption, and the clock is ticking.

Roustabout is a fast-paced MM paranormal romance filled with supernatural suspense, snarky humor, crafty carnival workers, sarcastic ghosts, midway magic, hurt/comfort angst, adversaries-to-lovers tension, and a very happy ending!

Excerpt:
R J Tucker sat at the bar at Haggerty’s in Memphis and nursed a Jack and Coke. He had a feeling he could get lucky tonight; wasn’t sure he wanted to.
Whiskey wouldn’t calm his nerves, at least not what he dared consume this close to a job. A good, hard fuck usually took the edge off, which is why he lingered over his drink, wondering who might wander in.
He’d given up on Mr. Right, but he was just fine with Mr. Right-now.
His jobs required staying in shape, filling out his six-foot tall frame with muscle. And coupled with his shaggy red hair, scruffy beard, and green eyes, RJ didn’t go begging for bed partners when he was in the mood.
“Bourbon, neat. Double.” The tall man slid onto the barstool next to RJ, bumping shoulder and hip in a way that RJ knew wasn’t accidental. He counted to ten before he turned to look, already approving of the man’s voice, deep like the rumble of a V8 engine, and his choice of liquor.
RJ’s gaze flicked over the newcomer. He was probably a good four inches taller, just the kind of rangy build RJ liked. The cut of the man’s short chocolate-brown hair suggested military or law enforcement, either past or present. That upped the risk of a liaison, but RJ usually appreciated the rush of danger.
“Been rainin’ all day. Think it might never stop,” the stranger said, and since there was no one on his other side and the bartender had gone to fetch his order, the comment was clearly directed at RJ.
“Don’t mind getting wet, now and again. Does a fellow good.” If the guy was looking to get laid, he’d pick up on the insinuation. If not, RJ probably wouldn’t have to fight his way out of a brawl over it.
“Is that so?” The man chuckled, a low, throaty sound that went right to RJ’s groin. He felt himself chub, despite his earlier ambivalence.
“Seems like the night for it.” RJ had been doing this dance since he was eighteen with a fake ID, navigating the iffy politics of southern bars where taking a glance or a comment the wrong way was the difference between getting laid and getting laid out.
At twenty-eight, RJ had crossed a lot of things off his bucket list, but finding a partner for more than a roll in the sheets wasn’t one of them, and he doubted it ever would be. Maybe when I finish the job—if I live to tell the tale. Probably not. Don’t really want to lie, and I can’t tell the truth.
About the Author:
Morgan Brice is the romance pen name of bestselling author Gail Z. Martin. Morgan writes urban fantasy MM paranormal romance, with plenty of action, adventure and supernatural thrills to go with the happily ever after. Gail writes epic and urban fantasy, with less romance, more explosions.
All of the modern-day Morgan Brice and Gail Z. Martin series crossover, so characters from one series appear in cameos and on page in important secondary roles in books from other series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but the more you read the more the expanded universe of friendships and connections becomes clear.
Morgan and Gail believe that paranormal elements make any story even better, and her worlds are full of ghosts, psychics, shifters, creatures, vampires, monster hunters, and magic.
She's also a huge fan of the TV show Supernatural. (Chibi art by Kamidiox)
