In Fiasco, Kentucky, the whole town knows the rule about the Foxx brothers: never fall for one, because every woman who has ended up dead. The family calls it a curse. Grant Foxx calls it the reason he left police work and buried himself in the family bourbon distillery, swearing off the kind of love that already cost him once.
Then Laney Young turns up in the dead of night with a new name, a carefully rehearsed story, and a federal handler who insists the Foxxes are the only people he trusts to keep her hidden. She is supposed to keep her head down and blend in. Instead she is everywhere Grant looks — pouring in his tasting room, living in his guesthouse, calling him "cowboy," and skinny-dipping in his horse trough like she owns the place.
Grant knows a person on the run when he sees one, and he knows Laney is lying about where she came from. What he cannot do is stop wanting her. As their standoff turns into something that scorches, the danger Laney fled starts closing the distance to Fiasco, and the curse hanging over the Foxx name stops sounding like a rumor. The first book in the Bourbon Boys trilogy, Bourbon & Lies pairs slow-simmering, high-heat romance with a small-town mystery where the body count is real.
