To my parents, who instilled a love of reading in me at an early age.
To the teachers who fostered that love.
To my childhood friends who felt reading was as cool as I didâboth then and now.
To my husband and family, who sacrifice precious time with Babe/Mom/Nonni so that I can share the stories in my head with the world.
And to the amazing readers who are kind enough to come along for the ride.
Thank you, all.

Blake Abbott rubbed his forehead and groaned. Heâd rather be walking the floor of the distillery, preparing for their new product launch, instead of reviewing market research data. Out there on the floor was where the magic of making their world-renowned bourbon happened.
His assistant, Daisy, knocked on his open office door. âBlake, donât forget the interview for the new event manager position... Itâs in fifteen minutes.â
Blake cursed under his breath. His brother Max had asked him to handle the interview. The new position fell under Maxâs charge as marketing VP. But he was at a trade show in Vegas. Probably partying and getting laid while Blake worked his ass off back at the office.
Their motherâwho usually handled their special eventsâwas in Florida helping her sister recover from surgery.
Tag, Iâm it.
But Blake had more pressing matters to deal with. Production was two weeks behind on the limited-edition moonshines they were rolling out to commemorate the upcoming fiftieth anniversary of Kingâs Finest Distillery. Once an illegal moonshine operation started by his great-grandfather in the hills of Tennessee, his grandfather had established the company as a legal distiller of premium spirits.
What better way to celebrate their golden anniversary as a legitimate enterprise than to reproduce the hooch that gave them their start?
