Dear Passion Pursuers,
Readers called The Bourbon Bet ‘impossible to put down’ and ‘a delicious slow burn.’ Now the most complicated Blackstone brother gets his story.
The wait is over. Here’s Thorne Blackstone.
One scorching night on a train. Three months living under the same roof. One choice that proves I’m exactly the bastard everyone thinks I am.
I spent three years in Quebec outrunning my demons. When my father dies in scandal, and a fourteen-year-old half-sister threatens to expose our family’s secrets, I’m dragged back to Kentucky to the bourbon empire, the brother I betrayed, and the ghosts that won’t let me go.
One reckless night with a stranger became the best mistake I’ve ever made. Until she walks into my family’s boardroom and I discover she’s Ivy West, my half-sister’s guardian. And both of them will be moving into my home for three months.
I try to keep my distance. But every heated glance, every stolen moment pulls us deeper. And when I make a choice that could obliterate her career, I prove I’m exactly like my father. The man I swore I’d never become.
In a family built on bourbon and secrets, I’m fighting to be someone different. But can I change before I destroy the only woman who’s ever made me want to try?
*Special Editions will be shipped out after March 24th*
