Kat Shannon loves her big, boisterous, well-meaning family . . . not so much their lack of boundaries. Or their stifling insistence that she settle down in small-town Glasgow, Kentucky to start a family of her own. A new job in Nashville offers Kat a fresh start and a shot at her dreams-a fulfilling career and independence. Definitely not a man. Enter local gym owner, Grant Crawford. Their first meeting sets off sparks she can't deny, no matter how hard she tries. Though Grant senses her hesitance about relationships, he is unwilling to lose her completely. So, he offers what Kat can accept-friendship, and the support she longs for as she learns to stand on her own. But like a fine whiskey, one intoxicating taste leaves Kat and Grant craving more, and their smoldering attraction erupts like wildfire. Can Grant convince Kat that standing on her own doesn't mean standing alone?
