In #1 New York Times bestselling author J. R. Ward's thrilling
finale to her Bourbon Kings series, the Bradford family dynasty teeters
on the edge of collapse after the murder of their patriarch--and a
shocking arrest.
At first, the death of William Baldwine, the head of the Bradford
family, was ruled a suicide. But then his eldest son and sworn enemy,
Edward, came forward and confessed to what was, in fact, a murder. Now
in police custody, Edward mourns not the disintegration of his family or
his loss of freedom . . . but the woman he left behind. His love, Sutton
Smythe, is the only person he has ever truly cared about, but as she is
the CEO of the Bradford Bourbon Company's biggest competitor, any
relationship between them is impossible. And then there's the reality of
the jail time that Edward is facing.
Lane Baldwine was supposed to remain in his role of playboy, forever in
his big brother Edward's shadow. Instead he has become the new head of
the family and the company. Convinced that Edward is covering for
someone else, Lane and his true love, Lizzie King, go on the trail of a
killer--only to discover a secret that is as devastating as it is
game-changing.
As Lane rushes to discover the truth, and Sutton finds herself
irresistibly drawn to Edward in spite of his circumstances, the lives of
everyone at Easterly will never be the same again. For some, this is
good; for others, it could be a tragedy beyond imagining. Only one thing
is for certain: Love survives all things. Even murder.
