Overview
When a marriage of convenience turns into the passion of a lifetime.....
Holden "Havoc" Thompson
My job as the leader of the Moonshine Task Force is my life. I eat, breathe, and sleep it. The men under my command mean the world to me. Knowing they count on my guidance has kept my demons at bay for longer than I care to admit.
The control I have over myself is an iron fist that sometimes threatens to squeeze the life out of me. What I want more than anything is to live again – let go of the hurt smothering every bit of light I have in this darkness.
I don't expect it to come in the form of a Moonshiner's daughter needing my protection.
Leighton Strather
My whole life has been defined by who my family is. In the state of Alabama, we're number one with a target on our backs. The danger and prestige isn't for me. I don't care about the money, and I care too much about the families we've ruined.
My brother and my dad are proud of it. They wear their arrest records like a badge of honor. Me? I want as far away from the lifestyle as I can get.
It's the only reason I ask Holden to marry me. So, I tell myself.
I never expect his whispered yes to cause such upheaval in my life. Even though I resist, I learn some havoc is good – and this one? It's a whirlwind of lust, hope, and love and all I can do is let it sweep me away.
