Sham Rocked by Alex Winters
Hotblooded Holidays, Book 9
A college dropout and a guitar hero get lucky in their very own St. Patrick’s Day love song…
Hugo Spencer never thought he’d be running his family toy factory and living above a garage at this stage in his college career. Then again, he never thought he’d walk in on his girlfriend cheating on him with some hot new stud—and like it! (Well, the hot new stud part, anyway!) Ever since seeing another man in action, Hugo has been rediscovering long-buried clues that he might not be so straight after all. And when he meets the sexy punk rocker who practices with his band in the garage below his new loft, Hugo can’t help but indulge in his newfound attraction to his very own guitar hero!
Rome Hazard is happy that his gran has finally rented out the loft apartment above the garage where he and his band, Headless Chickens, practice whenever the mood strikes. He’s even happier when he meets the new renter, Hugo, a slim, sexy straight dude who nonetheless makes his heart race faster than a blistering guitar solo! After helping Hugo move in one hot summer day, the two form an instant bond that soon turns into something much more than a mere favor. Can their budding bromance survive their small-town Georgia confines, or will it outgrow even their own pounding hearts?

“Our first live gig is this Thursday.”
“What, on St. Patrick’s Day?”
Rome struggled not to sound too excited. “Yeah, down at Bowl-a-Rama from six till nine.”
Hugo’s smile remained fixed, his slender fingers fiddling with the label of his cheap beer bottle. “You can laugh now,” Rome snorted, perhaps before his new friend could.
“At what? It’s a gig, right?”
“More like a favor. One of the ladies in Gran’s book club owns the bowling alley, so… she did me a solid.”
“Nice. I hope it’s not sold out so I can finally hear one of those guitar solos of yours. You know, in public with a crowd cheering and all that.”
Rome shifted uncomfortably. “Oh, you don’t have to do that.”
Hugo made a face. “I know I don’t have to. I want to. It sounds fun. I… don’t get out much.”
“No? With all your dorm roommates and such?”
Hugo hemmed, wriggling in his chair. He was slim, slight, and adorably mousy, not the kind of guy Rome would look at twice. Not that he was into guys. Usually. Ever. But tonight, suddenly, the world had slightly shifted and here, in this quiet kitchen, with candles flickering and beer flowing, he couldn’t stop watching him. “Shy, I guess.”
“You’re not being shy tonight,” Rome pointed out.
Hugo chuckled, a soft, light sound to match his overall vibe. “Yeah, well, that’s cuz this whole night is a one-off.”
A little sliver of panic ran through Rome’s body, though he didn’t—wouldn’t—show it. “How so?” he somehow managed to ask with a steady voice.
“It’s just… so random, right? I mean, I show up to my new place, you’re in the garage jamming on your guitar, and instead of whacking me over the head with it when I interrupt you, you… help me move. Bring half my boxes up and give me a tour, sit here, and have pizza and beer with me. If I’d been shy, like I usually am, I’d have missed the opportunity to hang with you, right?”
“You’re only partly right.”
“Yeah, how’s that?”
“I took up way more than half your boxes, bro!”
