Meet Whiskey Me Away, the first book in L.A. Sobon’s Small Batch Romance series.
An unexpected inheritance brings Emma Davies from New York to a struggling whiskey distillery in rural Arizona. Sorting it out should be simple. Alex Riley makes sure it isn’t.
Stubborn, infuriating and fiercely protective of the place, Alex challenges Emma at every turn. But as arguments give way to attraction, the life she planned starts to look a lot less tempting than the man she never saw coming.
She came to Arizona to settle an inheritance, not to fall for the infuriating man determined to protect it.
Emma Davies has the life she planned: a thriving marketing career in New York, a long-term boyfriend, and no reason to look back. But after her mother’s death, a late final confession leads Emma to an unexpected inheritance in the Arizona countryside, and a whiskey distillery already on the brink of collapse.
Alex Riley has devoted himself to keeping the distillery alive. The last thing he needs is a polished city woman sweeping in with opinions, questions, and the power to destroy everything he has worked for. Emma thinks Alex is controlling and impossible. Alex is certain she will be gone before the desert dust settles.
Neither of them expects their arguments to spark an attraction too fierce to ignore or for Arizona to begin feeling less like an obligation and more like home.
But someone connected to Emma’s inheritance makes it clear she’s not welcome. With the distillery threatened and the life she left behind pulling her back, Emma must decide whether the future she planned is worth more than the man and the second chance she never saw coming.
“If you end up saving your father’s distillery, I’ll owe you far more than a damn office,” he said in a much lower tone than my ovaries could handle. “And I’ll be willing to settle that debt anytime.”
If you have a soft spot for broody men with an attitude, make yourself comfortable.
