Running from her past has become second nature to Carrigan. She has been on the move for four years, running from the ghost that haunts her dreams—a constant reminder to her every day. She settles in South Carolina with the people in her life knowing very little about her. When she feels the need to run again soon, she meets Royce.

Royce is fighting his own demons, too. After the death of his sister, he spends every waking moment working on the app that she fought so hard to develop. He found little enjoyment in life until he met Carrigan.

When the two meet, will the secrets from their past burden their daily lives and have them on edge, or is there a happy ending in their future? Or was it just meant to be a whiskey kind of love?

“You can trust me, Carrigan,” Royce whispers against my lips.

I inhale sharply, my heart pounding. “I know I can.”

Whiskey Kind of Love

The galloping noises were ever impressive as the wind blew through my hair. It felt incredible for a hot day, and my horse, Hennessy, and I kept going as we made our rounds. I passed my elder sister working in the fields, whistling out to get her attention. She turned toward me, waving her arm back and forth. I’d catch up with her later in the day. Hennessy picked up speed, and she neighed out into the land. 


I laughed, petting her as she continued on, cheering her. We still had to find my younger sister and meet up with Dad. There were things to do, after all. The semester was over, and I was back to my normal chores. It felt great, and though I still lived on the ranch, sometimes it was just reassuring to have a day to remind myself what it was I loved about living there.
