OntheRocks Format: Paperback

If there was ever a good time and place for love to bloom between two reckless and broken hearts, it surely wouldn’t be in a bar.  But for Lennon Willis and Alex Daniels, a passionate one-night stand just isn’t enough to quench their thirst for one another―however ill-timed.

A free-spirited artist determined to outrun the ghosts of her past in California, Alex flees to the sunny shores of Florida’s Gulf Coast seeking solace and healing. Instead, she finds hardheaded bar owner Lennon―and a connection she can’t seem to deny.

On a journey of self-discovery and healing, the two must determine their fate. Is chemistry enough to keep their inner demons at bay, or will their encounters only pour whiskey on the fires of self-destruction?

In addition to having published poetry and short stories, Riley Scott has worked as a grant and press writer and a marketing professional. She holds a degree in journalism. A chunk of life spent in the Bible Belt has given her a close-up look at the struggles facing the LGBT community in Small Town, America, and she strives to bring these to light through her writing. Although she recently moved to Florida, she is a proud New Mexican with a passion for her partner (who, if you'll note, is listed ahead of green chile), green chile, dogs, and lively literature. She lives in Pensacola with her partner and two beloved dogs.
