Bourbon & Proof

Ace Foxx is the eldest of the Foxx brothers. He keeps both the family and its distillery running, and that burden is the reason he never planned to marry. Then circumstances corner him, and the only way out leads to Hadley Finch.

Hadley is treated as one of the family, though her father is a man the Foxxes have good reason to despise. Ace has spent years keeping her at a distance. Now the two agree to a marriage of convenience, meant to stay practical and nothing more.

Living that close together tests the pretense. Feelings both of them have long ignored keep surfacing. Meanwhile Fiasco has an old warning that hangs over them: a woman who falls for a Foxx brother winds up dead. Ace and Hadley have to decide whether that curse is only superstition or a threat with a name.

This is the final book in the Bourbon Boys trilogy, and the mystery that has trailed the family across all three books comes to a head here. It is a marriage-of-convenience romance with a high level of heat, and it carries the highest stakes of the series. The mystery gets its answer by the last page.
