Caught between family loyalty and their affection for one another… Tristan I always get my way. Fighting is my life. In the ring, on the street, there’s no problem that can’t be solved with my fists. When an injury puts me on the sidelines, my family sends me down South on business. They want me to take over Doyle Whiskey, a job they claim is perfect for me. And it is, until the owner’s daughter stumbles back into my life. Evie’s not the shy, awkward girl I knew as a kid. She’s beautiful and fierce, and she doesn’t need me. Until she does. Just because I can’t step into the ring, it doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten how to fight. Especially for a girl like Evie. Evie Our marriage might be a sham, but our friendship isn’t. When my father’s debts land him in hot water, there’s a lot more than just money on the line. My freedom is at risk, and if I don’t figure something out, I could end up married off as payment. But then Tristan shows up to take over our distillery. He’s as gorgeous as ever, but he’s not the sweet, mischievous boy I crushed on as a kid. He makes deals and takes what he wants and when he sees that I’m in danger, he takes me, too. In marriage. I know he’s protecting his own interests by protecting me, but it doesn’t matter. I’ve wanted him my whole life, and I’ll do whatever it takes to protect him right back. Because the queen’s the most powerful piece on the board. Whiskey Kisses is a steamy, dark, Irish mob romance. Marriage of convenience, m/f, friends-to-lovers, forced proximity. It's the second book of the Gangland Hearts trilogy, which should be read in order. Recommended for mature audiences.
