When a marriage of convenience turns into the passion of a
lifetime…
Holden “Havoc” Thompson
My job as the leader of the Moonshine Task Force is my life. I eat, breathe, and sleep it. The men under my command mean the world to me. Knowing they count on my guidance has kept my demons at bay for longer than I care to admit.
The control I have over myself is an iron fist that sometimes threatens to squeeze the life out of me. What I want more than anything is to live again – let go of the hurt smothering every bit of light I have in this darkness.
I don’t expect it to come in the form of a Moonshiner’s daughter needing my protection.
Leighton Strather
My whole life has been defined by who my family is. In the state of Alabama, we’re number one with a target on our backs. The danger and prestige isn’t for me. I don’t care about the money, and I care too much about the families we’ve ruined.
My brother and my dad are proud of it. They wear their arrest records like a badge of honor. Me? I want as far away from the lifestyle as I can get.
It’s the only reason I ask Holden to marry me. At least that's what I tell myself.
I never expect his whispered yes to cause such upheaval in my life. Even though I resist, I learn some havoc is good – and this one? It’s a whirlwind of lust, hope, and love and all I can do is let it sweep me away.

Review
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆
I have been looking forward to Holden and Leighton's story since they were introduced in book one because of the protectiveness of Holden towards Leighton from the very start. They marry to provide Leighton protection from her family of moonshiners. His protection gives her the freedom to do what she wants with her life, something that she has never had in her life.
I loved that their relationship was built on trust, respect and love and that they didn't jump straight into a sexual relationship. It meant that they were stronger and able to deal better with the challenges that life throws their way. I did expect more trouble from her family throughout this one and it did surprise me that there wasn't but it made it a far better read as the focus was completely on their developing relationship.
This is a fantastic series and the hints of the characters and their stories to come will keep me coming back for more and more of this series.
