Never Been Good:
USA Today bestseller Christi Barth returns with another steamy Bad Boys Gone Good novel!
Flynn Maguire isn’t really a bad guy. Sure, he worked for the mob, but he ran a legitimate business—on paper anyway—and it paid enough to keep his brother out of the lifestyle.
Until they turned on him. Now he’s stuck in Witness Protection, tending bar in Nowheresville Oregon… and pissed the life he knew is gone. The only bright spot? Fantasizing about his quiet, secretive, beautiful coworker.
Sierra Williams is a woman on the run. All she wants now is to settle into small town life… and ignore the brooding, sexy bartender who can’t seem to take his eyes off her. Flynn’s bad-boy vibe pushes all her buttons, but Sierra fell for the wrong man once already. She can’t afford to let her guard down again. Except Flynn’s tough exterior is slowly melting away to reveal the sweet man beneath and their attraction is too strong to resist.
Sierra and Flynn are falling fast, but they’re both keeping so many secrets. The truth could ruin everything… unless a girl who’s a little bad is perfect for a guy who’s never really been good.

Excerpt:
He’d tried not to let her get to him. But her big eyes and even bigger heart were exactly what she’d just said—impossible to resist. Sierra made him want to tell her how she made him feel.
She made him want to tell her everything.
Which was dangerous as fuck.
But . . . he could still show her how he felt. Show her, no, lavish her with feelings. Turn Sierra into a quivering, satisfied mass of feeling. Then she’d know what was in his head and his heart without him using any words at all.
It was a solid plan.
Flynn pulled her in to him, latching on to her mouth like it was the last kiss two people on earth would ever share. This kiss would let Sierra know his intent for the next, oh, six to eight hours.
Pleasuring her.
Making her scream his name.
Making her beg him to keep going.
Giving her literally everything she could take.
Flynn devoured her mouth. He poured his heart into it, pulling breathy little moans out of her. His tongue circled. Teeth nipped and bit. Sucked and licked. Treasured and claimed. It was an unending stream of every kind of kiss he’d ever given. All completely different here, now, as he gave them to Sierra.
As he gave himself to Sierra.
Whether she fully realized it or not.
Now that she had his shirt clutched in her fists, Flynn let go of her arms. Instead, he moved to cup her face with his palms. Slid her ears in between his fingers. From the gasp that pulsed out of her mouth, he could tell they were sensitive. Flynn filed that under get to later. Sex would come, but now was about this kiss. It was his promise, his vow, his heart, all poured into her.
So he gentled his approach, turning from lustful to tender. He gave her tongue long, slow strokes exactly like he’d do between her legs later. Tickled his pinkie along her neck that immediately brought up goose bumps beneath his touch.
But mostly he drank in her moans, her gasps, the heat she gave back to him by meeting his every kiss with an urgent need of her own. All the outward proof of her lust fueled his. Every response from her, every sigh and sound and flutter of her lashes sizzled just beneath his skin like a hot wire.
Sierra matched him, stroke for lick for bite. Her hips swung back and forth, grinding her belly against his dick. The shyness, the hesitancy from the first time he’d kissed her was gone. There was just a woman, no, his woman, who showed him right back how badly she wanted this.
Flynn’s eyes popped open. Maybe it was stupid. Maybe it was over-the-top mushy. But he wanted to look at everything around him. Take a mental picture of it to always remember this exact moment.
Because there was no guarantee he’d make it back from the trial in Chicago to have lots more of these moments.
Life didn’t care if you lubed up before it fucked you. He’d learned that the hard way.
Put him on the front of a god damned card with a heart and a flower and a puppy—the whole works. Flynn Maguire was memorizing this moment. The one where he and Sierra had sex for the first time.
Because it mattered.
