Synopsis

With violence threatening to shatter their world, Maddy and Jack have only one chance to rekindle their love and trust for each other, one chance to claim a future together.
Colton, Montana, 1931. Struggling through the Great Depression, Maddy Aldridge agrees to run an illegal speakeasy in order to save her family's mercantile store. Keeping her dangerous new business partner at arm's length is no easy task, but her bravery faces its biggest test when Jack Rucker unexpectedly comes home. He left town seven years ago, breaking his promise-and her heart-when he didn't return so they could get married and start a family.

Now Jack is willing to do anything to earn her forgiveness . . . anything except reveal one important truth: that he's a Prohibition agent on an undercover assignment. How far are Maddy and Jack willing to go to keep their secrets? What happens when the truth finally comes out?

Goodreads review by The Reading Raccoon on June 28, 2024

Considering the subject matter (prohibition and a couple on either side of the law) this book could have used more tension. Especially considering the love interest left her behind 7 years prior and never came back there should have been some angst but there really wasn't.......more

Part of my $5 bag haul from the Friends of the Library Sale! I had a hard time putting this down! The time period and backdrop are so interesting; it draws you in and takes you for a ride.

Goodreads review by Savage on March 10, 2020

I read this as a book I wouldn't normally choose to be honest. I got it at the library and it was wrapped for date with a book for Valentine's day. I was pleasantly surprised.
