The Texas-loving, whiskey-brewing Stark family is back-in the crosshairs of an empire-building heiress with barrels of cash, buckets of bullets, and a personal army of killers. . . .
It's been a year since the infamous Whiskey War ripped apart Glen Rose, Texas. After the dust settled, Jed Stark rebuilt the family ranch and distillery-and now Whiskey Woods is doing better than ever, thanks to the Stark family's secret recipe. The whole community is flourishing. Which, unfortunately, makes it a target for land developers-namely Mona Starret, the headstrong heiress to a rail and shipping empire, and she's decided Glen Rose would be the perfect addition to her portfolio. And what Mona wants, Mona gets, come hell or high water . . .
Of course, Jed and his gun-toting mom have no intention of selling Whiskey Woods, not after rebuilding it from the ground up. Mona Starret would have to take the land over their dead bodies-which is exactly what Mona's willing to do. She's got her very own army of hired guns, led by a ruthless enforcer named Dalton Majors. It's not long before the two sides are trading shots, both .44 millimeter and 80 proof. The Starks survived the Whiskey War together. But this new war is bigger and deadlier-and it's not going to end until Mona's army is bottoms up and down the hatch.
JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. WHERE THE WHISKEY FLOWS LIKE WATER, AND THE WATER IS RED WITH BLOOD.
