GENRE: Historic Romance

BLURB:
She’s
an uptight Bostonian
Proud and beautiful, Chloe Tanner, inherits her family’s famous distillery—a
legacy she must save from certain disaster. Her troubles can be traced back to
one man. The man whose very presence is more intoxicating to her than whiskey.
He’s a laid-back Tennessean
No one disputes handsome Penland Kittrell’s expertise in all things whiskey.
But Pen can’t make heads or tails of his new neighbor and now business rival;
an undeniable attraction tainted by her connections to the powerful group of
Eastern moguls and tycoons she moves among.
It’s
a Whiskey War they both want to Win!
Passions
ignite between Chloe and Pen in this deadly tangle against revenuers,
moonshiners, and robber barons who all try and come between them and their
whiskey in this gilded age adventure where the real gold is amber nectar.

EXCERPT
“Are you not afraid of reaching a stage of inebriation I
might be tempted to take advantage of?” he asked cocking one dark brow up.
“No. As you have reminded me several times earlier
tonight—there is not anything else you could do with me you have not already
done.”
“What a little innocent you are, Chloe.” He circled the
table and took the flask and pulled her up from the chair. “I’ve thought a lot
about you these past few months. Didn’t want to. But did.” He wrapped his arms
around her and nuzzled her neck.
She breathed in the butterscotch whiskey and sandalwood
smell she associated with him. Wanting to see if there was truth in his eyes,
she pushed against his chest locking her arms to study his face. Could she
believe him?
“Tell me you want to kiss me too,” he whispered.
Inch by inch she moved in, surrendering equal distance.
Finally their lips met as if no time had passed between them—a continuation of
their night together a few months before. She could taste the heavy sweetness
of the whiskey they had drunk, smell its heady scent, but it was his mouth, his
touch that made her dizzy with desire.
