Description:
"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." --Jameson Bodine
Model turned disgraced reality TV starlet, 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 supposed fiancé--manipulated her into the role of made-for-TV homewrecker.
Connecting with her roots is just what she needs, and Bootleg Springs is home to her father, moonshine, and her childhood best friend, Jameson Bodine. Only there's nothing childlike about Jameson--a 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.
