Highball Rush

"Suddenly all those old country love songs I'd played so often made perfect sense." ―Gibson Bodine

Gravel-voiced Gibson Bodine takes his lone wolf image seriously. The tough guy. The bad boy. He lives alone. Works alone. His one love―besides starting a good brawl―is sitting on a rinky-dink stage in a backwoods bar playing guitar and singing about things he'll never have.

When a video of him playing goes viral, Gibson ignores the unwanted attention. He's got bigger things to worry about. Like the bomb his half-brother's mom just dropped on him. And the fallout from the memento he's been carrying around for thirteen years. He doesn't have time for fame... or love... or meddling neighbors stopping by with casseroles and questions.

But one night in a bar, fifty miles from home, he meets her. And she changes everything.

In Bootleg Springs―home of the best moonshine and nosiest neighbors in West Virginia―secrets don't keep. When the truth about Callie Kendall's fate brings danger home, it's up to Gibson to step up and be the hero. And maybe find what he's been missing all along. Love.
