She's a headstrong Bostonian. When proud and beautiful, Chloe Tanner, inherits her family's famous distillery--she's determined to save her legacy from looming disaster. Her troubles can be traced back to one man. The man whose very presence is more intoxicating to her than whiskey. He's a laid-back Tennessean. No one disputes handsome Penland Kittrell's expertise in all things whiskey. But Pen can't make heads or tails of his new neighbor and business rival; an undeniable attraction tainted by her connections to powerful Eastern moguls and tycoons she moves among. Passions ignite between Chloe and Pen in this deadly tangle against revenuers, moonshiners, and robber barons who all try and come between them and their whiskey where the real gold is amber nectar. Are they willing to lose their hearts to each other in this gilded age whiskey war they both want to win?
