Synopsis

Lonna Stuart is proud to be the most beautiful girl most people have ever laid eyes on. But on the inside she's dying. Her mother's grating comments and her boyfriend's obsessive control are suffocating her.

There's only one person who sees the real Lonna.

Son of the infamous Bourbon Butcher, Collin toes an invisible line of perfection; he's a football prodigy; a hard-working employee; and, what Lonna's boyfriend considers, a retard. A slight stutter deters Collin from making too many friends, but he observes better than anyone, and he sees things most people miss. He sees the pain in Lonna's eyes and the sadness in her frown. When she nearly drowns he's the only one willing to sacrifice himself to save her.

Inspired by Collin's kindness, Lonna begins to pull away from her asphyxiating life and starts looking out for herself. But unbeknownst to both of them in a prison hundreds of miles away Collin's father is busy planning an epic escape.

A Shot of Bourbon [1]

In the little highway town of Bourbon, Missouri, deadly secrets lurk behind Southern charm.

Seventeen year old Charli Valentine didn’t expect to spend the last few weeks of summer break nursing a broken heart, icing a black eye, and watching her ex kiss another girl. Since being a good girl has gotten her nothing but heartache, Charli decides to give rebellion a try. She pigs out, drinks, and hangs with Luke Parker, the son of the infamous Bourbon Butcher.

But there’s more to Luke than meets the eye. His tough exterior and terrible dialect hide a good person despite his bad boy reputation. No matter how hard he tries to fight it, Luke is drawn to Charli’s innocence and finds her clumsiness too charming to resist. Though they’re from opposite sides of the tracks, neither can resist the magnetism drawing them together.

When Charli discovers a box in her mother’s closet, she pieces together the truth about Bourbon’s past and uncovers a deadly secret about her family. And once Luke learns of it, he vows to protect Charli no matter the cost.

Bourbon On The Rocks [stand-alone]

The daughter of a Navy Seal turned pastor, Brittney Ann has lived a very sheltered life. She aches for the moments when she can race her decrepit hand-me-down Plymouth away from the family farm, just for a little taste of freedom.

On the inside, she’s dying for heart-racing adventure and a summer of working volunteer hours isn’t her idea of fun, but she doesn’t have the nerve to tell her parents otherwise.

Barry Prescott breathes just for the buzz of adrenaline from living on the edge, listening to classic hard rock on vinyl, and the high that he catches from snorting prescription painers.

After getting busted with the sheriff’s daughter and slammed with bogus charges, he’s forced to spend the summer doing community service.

But when his dad cuts him off he hits rock bottom on the musky floor of the city library as he fights the withdrawals. He knows he’s a goner, until the preacher’s daughter shows up determined to love him sober.
