  Romantic Suspense Single dad Small town Secrets & Blackmail Hate-to-love Returning home Found Family Bourbon “Tasting” In Fiasco, Kentucky, there is one rule: never fall for a Foxx brother. Any woman who did, ended up dead. It wasn’t just a rumor. It was my reality. I buried my wife along with too many secrets surrounding the night she died. Now, I’m a single dad with two priorities above everything else: raising my two girls and making great bourbon. But when Faye Calloway returns after I ran her out of my small town—looking like a fantasy on stage and nothing like the cop she was trained to be—I know for a fact that she’s hiding more secrets than the one she blackmailed me to keep.

Josie: Before the Moment There are ghosts at every corner. In the stolen kisses while I waitressed at the diner, in the town festivals at the square, in the many jokes about Betty Bagley and her pie at the Fall Farmer’s Market, and in the countless nights watching Clay make drinks with that handsome smile of his while I sat on a stool at his bar.

  I drift through life from one tragedy to the next, praying for death to have mercy on my soul. Until my saviors guide me out of the dark and awaken something sinfully brutal within me. It doesn’t stop the shadows from creeping back in. I was never supposed to escape, and they want me back. Will I survive the sacrifice, or will I be another forgotten soul? THIS IS A DARK ROMANCE WITH VERY HEAVY TRIGGERS. READER'S DISCRETION IS HIGHLY ADVISED. My Review OMG. I felt for Zoriah. The innocence she lost when she was taken. It is not something she can get back. Yet, she is fortunate to have found several men who love her and want to help her claim her power.  Zoriah is not the only one that found herself in the horrible situation. There is Huxley as well. Yes, men can be victims as well. In a way I am glad that Zoriah had Huxley by her side going through the same ordeal. They were able to lean on one another for support. Then there is Roman, who is Zoriah's boss. I really liked the...
