It’s barely hanging on, even after four generations of clinging to life making Irish whiskey in New Orleans. And my parents are seven hundred miles away in Florida, living it up as retirees on the monthly payments I send them from the dismal profits of the distillery. I freeze outside the door to my locked office and stare at the handle like it’s tainted with anthrax. Ruthless King is the first book in the Mount Trilogy. Keira Kilgore, you’re now the property of Lachlan Mount. She doesn’t know she caught my attention. I don’t need to lend money to a failing family distillery, but it amuses me to have them in my debt.

My reach knows no bounds, and my demands are always met. You don’t know my name, but I control everything you see-and all the things you don’t.
