A scorching, emotional, suspenseful romance about secrets, second chances, and the kind of love that hits harder than whiskey – from the beloved author of the Bourbon Boys series.

A scorching, emotional, suspenseful romance about secrets, second chances, and the kind of love that hits harder than whiskey – from the beloved author of the Bourbon Boys series.

In Rumor, Tennessee, the Crowne women are at the centre of every whisper of salacious gossip. Everyone knows you can count on them for a shot of whiskey and a wild night, but their best kept secret is how they deliver quiet revenge.

I survived a living nightmare. Forced to stay away from my sisters, I have to hide who I am and start over again. But all it takes to mess everything up is a sexy stranger – a charming jeweller with a sinful smile, deliciously dirty promises, and far too many questions.

Now, I’m back in my hometown, hiding my past and trying not to drown in the pressure to be the old me. Especially once I discover that the gossip and rumours swirling around my family aren’t the work of bored townies, but hidden truths. And I never expected to see him again.

Between a dead body, a missing cop, and a job that’s connected him to my family, Julian Colton insists on staying here. I should keep my distance – not provoke him at every turn. The thing is: even with layers of secrets between us, he soothes my anxious thoughts and feeds my touch-starved, broken body.

But when his past catches up with him, and mine threatens to repeat itself, it’s my family, our rumours, and our whiskey that’ll save us.
