Suz Benton has been crushing on her BFF's cousin, Matthew MacInnes, since her college days. She just never figured asking him out would put her in a shooter's cross hairs.

What is it about the MacInnes family distillery that has been drawing so much bad ju-ju over the past few months? As an event planner, Suz has never had a party end in a shooting before. In the aftermath, her dreams turn into dark and bloody nightmares.

As the distillery's cooper, Matt MacInnes has been hip-deep in the fall out from the attacks for months. But now it's personal. During his time as a combat Marine, he's had his share of PTSD induced nightmares and understands exactly what Suz is experiencing.

When yet another murder shakes the community, protective measures Matt asks of her threaten to drive a wedge in their blossoming romance. The danger comes to a head at the distillery's holiday party, putting their lives in jeopardy yet again.

In this third novel of the Bourbon Legacy contemporary romance series, the threat from Judge Barnes comes to a fiery conclusion.

Judith "J.P." Bastin started writing stories back in grade school. Unfortunately, things like a busy career as an OB nurse and living in places as varied as Kentucky, southwest Texas, and northern Germany pushed that to a way back burner. With three previous novellas under her belt, she jumped back into publishing in '22 with the start of her Bourbon Legacy series.

A native Hoosier, she lives in central Indiana with her husband.
