Eve is practical. It's how things have to be, her penance for a youth well-spent. She has grown from a reckless and fanciful girl into the sort of woman to whom people turn for guidance. Often. Her hands are never empty, and between handling the business side of Temptation Brewing, managing her own modest midwifery practice, and caring for her orphaned niece, she hasn’t a moment to spare. Eve’s worn walking boots tell the story of a woman who never stops and doesn’t tarry. So, how will she cope when an anything but routine whisky arrangement demands that she do both? Not well.

A smuggler through and through, Quint (as his friends call him) has spent the majority of his adult life carting stolen goods from place to place. He liked his predictably unpredictable life. He reveled in the underhanded nature of his profession. But, that was before tragedy struck one awful April morning, leaving him the sole guardian of his newborn nephew. Quint’s discomfort with being tied down is replaced by an utterly unexpected devotion to his adopted son. His boy, Jack, has introduced him to an entirely new spectrum of emotion, and the floodgate of feelings only opens further upon arriving in Boston, where he more than meets his match in a brazen pair of dancing green eyes.
