Ace Foxx never planned to marry, until he has no choice but to strike a deal with Hadley Finch, the woman he swore to stay away from. Now he'll have to break his own rules ? in the final book in a bourbon-infused romantic suspense trilogy featuring mystery, murder, and lots of spice.

In Fiasco, Kentucky, there is one rule: never fall for a Foxx brother. Any woman who did, ended up dead ? or so the rumour goes.

It isn't just small-town lore or neighbourhood gossip ? I've witnessed what happens when the men in my family get too comfortable. And with the responsibility of leading Foxx Bourbon on my shoulders, I'll go to any lengths to ensure the safety of my business and family.

There's only one problem: Hadley Finch. An honorary member of my family and the daughter of a deplorable businessman. She's the woman I swore to stay away from in a bargain I never wanted to make, and now … she's my wife.

Hadley's always been the only person who pushes every last shred of my resolve. Before she was mine, I was fine protecting her from afar. It was never about being her hero or happy ending, but now, I crave both. Call it the Foxx curse or penance for my sins, but when all of it explodes and the lives of those I love are threatened, there are only two things I have left to bargain with: bourbon and proof.
