Wildflower and Whiskey by R.C. Stephens is now live!
Phoenix Thorne was the last man I wanted to see when I came back to Val-Du-Lys with my son.
But fate has a cruel sense of humor.
Now I’m working in his brewery… and sleeping in the loft above his garage.
He hasn’t changed.
Sharp edges. Hard muscles. Walls no one could scale.
And he still looks at me like I’m the wildflower that cut him all those years ago.
We were enemies once.
Now we’re neighbors.
Every stolen glance, every brush of his hand pulls us closer to a line we swore we’d never cross.
Then he kisses me.
Hard. Hungry. Reckless.
The kind of kiss that burns hotter than whiskey and leaves me aching for more.
He vowed he’d never forgive me.
I swore I’d never need him.
But the past has a way of catching up. Secrets that don’t stay buried. Threats that circle too close to the people I love.
And suddenly the man I betrayed is the only one standing between me and a storm I never saw coming.
Because once Phoenix claims me… he’ll fight like hell to keep me.

🌸Review🌸
Elyna has returned home not because she wants to be there but because it might just be the only place that is safe for her and her son Braden after the activities that her ex was involved in. When staying with her father becomes untenable she receives help from Phoenix, who is the last person she expected as he offers not only a job but a place to stay, despite their past.
Phoenix’s family and Elyna’s family were close when they were growing up so they spent time together however their relationship was more adversarial than friendly on Elyna’s part. As they get to know each other as adults the feelings between them escalate but so does the danger from Elyna’s past and he isn’t about to let her face it alone.
Elyna and Phoenix’s story is one of a second chance to right the wrongs of the past. Suspense, romance and emotion create an entertaining story as they help each other heal from the past and realize that they stronger when they face challenges together.
