The Bourbon Kings

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Black Dagger Brotherhood delivers the first novel in an enthralling new series set amid the shifting dynamics of a Southern family defined by wealth and privilege--and compromised by secrets, deceit, and scandal. . . .

Upstairs on the sprawling estate of Easterly, the kings of the bourbon capital of the world--the Bradford family--appear to play by the rules of good fortune and taste. Downstairs, the staff works tirelessly to maintain the impeccable Bradford facade. And never the twain shall meet.

For Lizzie King, Easterly's head gardener, crossing that divide nearly ruined her life. Falling in love with Tulane, the prodigal son of the bourbon dynasty, was nothing she intended--and their breakup proved her instincts right. Now, after two years, Tulane is coming home. And no one will be left unmarked. . . .
