Whiskey War

Desire returns—but so do the risks.

A tension-filled historical romantic suspense where love and danger intertwine.

After narrowly escaping death at Devil’s Slide, lesbian couple Dax and Rose look forward to a clandestine life together in Half Moon Bay. Dax’s sister, May, makes the Foster House restaurant their refuge at the height of Prohibition and the dawn of the Great Depression while they sit on a gold mine of stolen whiskey from the local speakeasy.

When Frankie Wilkes, the speakeasy owner and Rose’s employer, suspects Dax might have the whiskey, he makes Rose’s life miserable, forcing Dax to scramble to unload the barrels before he finds them. The trip to San Francisco sparks the attention of May’s husband, Logan, who abandoned her and Dax months earlier. He surfaces in Half Moon Bay, looking for money. He quickly puts a wedge in May, Dax, and Rose’s idyllic life and riles up a nasty competition with Frankie Wilkes. Tragedy strikes, and Dax sees the ugly side of the illegal liquor business when left unchecked.

In comes Grace Parsons, a wealthy Hollywood starlet and Rose’s former lover, with a solution to their problems. However, her bold help spirals into a violent feud that leaves no one in their inner circle untouched. How far will Logan and Frankie go to get what they want? Can Dax and Rose find a way out before the whiskey war takes their lives?
