Bourbon And Proof - Book 3, By Victoria Wilder (paperback, spray edge)

🌶️🌶️In Fiasco, Kentucky, the Foxx brothers come with warnings carved into local legend. People say loving one only leads to heartbreak—or worse. Ace Foxx has spent his entire life making sure he never gives fate the chance to prove those whispers right.

As the man responsible for steering Foxx Bourbon into the future, Ace keeps his world tightly controlled. No risks. No attachments. No room for the kind of chaos that destroyed the women who came before. But when a threat to the distillery forces him into a deal he never wanted, he finds himself bound to the one woman he’s avoided for years: Hadley Finch.

Hadley has always been woven into the edges of Ace’s life—practically family, infuriatingly stubborn, and far too tempting for his own good. Their marriage may be a strategic move, but sharing a home with her turns every rule he’s lived by into a challenge he can’t win. Hadley pushes him, steadies him, and sees through the armor he’s spent years perfecting.

Ace once believed keeping his distance was the only way to protect her. Now, with danger closing in and old enemies resurfacing, he realizes distance won’t save anyone. Not his family. Not the business. Not Hadley.

When everything he’s built is threatened, Ace is left with two things he can wield: the bourbon his family is known for… and the truth he’s spent years avoiding.
