In a city built on loyalty, power, and quiet wars, Whiskey and Flame is the story of a woman who inherits a legacy of danger, and the two men willing to burn for her.
When Rose Porter inherits The Corner House — a sleek East Lockwood bar — she thinks she’s found her escape from a dead-end life. What she doesn’t know is that her estranged grandfather’s bar isn’t just a neighborhood fixture. It’s the cornerstone of a dark empire, and the center of a game she was never meant to play.
Elias Voss runs East Lockwood from the shadows of his polished world; clever, charming and untouchable. His enforcer and longtime friend, Leo Ward, keeps that world in line with loyalty, silence, and whatever violence needs doing. Rose’s arrival threatens to disrupt their careful balance. Her grandfather once threatened to destroy everything they’d built, and neither man knows if Rose is about to do the same. But she’s too sharp to be dismissed, too stubborn to scare off, and too captivating to ignore.
Desire pulls them closer. Distrust keeps them on edge. And somewhere between the light of what she offers and the shadows they’ve lived in too long, Elias and Leo will have to decide what’s worth protecting — and what’s worth risking to do it.
