From bestselling authors Lucy Score and Claire Kingsley comes the next sizzling romance in the town of Bootleg Springs, where the moonshine is strong, the neighbors are loud, and love never plays by the rules.

"I tried to think of something—anything—to calm my raging hard-on. One wrong move and Leah Mae would rub up against it and that was liable to kill me dead on the spot."

Model turned disgraced reality TV celebrity, Leah Mae Larkin, crash lands in her hometown of Bootleg Springs to lay low while a scandal threatens her career. She can't shake the feeling that her agent—and fiancé—manipulated her into the role of made-for-TV homewrecker.

Connecting with her roots is just what she needs. Going home to Bootleg Springs gives her a chance for an extended visit with her beloved father, as well as the opportunty to reconnect with her childhood best friend, Jameson Bodine. Jameson has grown up into an impressive man who turns scrap metal into art and isn't afraid to throw down on a rowdy Friday night with his brothers and hellcat sister. He might not say much, but still waters run deep.

Seeing the ring on his crush's finger? He doesn't like it, but he can't wish it away. No more than he can wish away the trouble his family is in, with evidence pointing to his late father in the cold case disappearance of Callie Kendall.

Jameson and Leah Mae are just two friends reliving their summers together, blowing off steam, and having fun for the first time in a long time. But Leah Mae is realizing what's really important in her life, and it isn't what she thought. And sometimes steam turns into sparks—hot as molten steel—and friends aren't just friends.
