Description

Ace Foxx never planned to marry — especially not her. But when circumstances leave him no choice, he strikes a deal that breaks every rule he’s lived by: marrying Hadley Finch, the one woman he swore to stay away from.

In Fiasco, Kentucky, the Foxx name is steeped in bourbon, power, and a deadly reputation. Any woman who falls for a Foxx brother ends up destroyed — or worse. As the reluctant leader of Foxx Bourbon, Ace will do anything to protect his family and his legacy, even if it means sacrificing his own happiness.

Hadley has always tested Ace’s restraint. Once, he protected her from a distance. Now she’s his wife — and the danger surrounding them is impossible to ignore. As buried secrets resurface and threats close in, Ace is forced to confront what he truly wants: control, redemption, or the woman who’s always been his greatest weakness. When everything explodes, there are only two things left to wager — bourbon and proof.
