Before The Lies - A Bourbon & Blood Prequel

He Warned Her To Stay Away. She Never Listened.

She came to write the Blackstone legacy.
She wasn’t supposed to uncover the 1934 secret they buried in the cellar.

Wren Delaney is a journalist with nothing to lose—and zero patience for bourbon-soaked Southern charm.
But the moment she steps onto the Blackstone estate, the lies practically drip from the walls.

At the center of it all? Holden Blackstone—brooding CEO and reluctant heir.
He’s bound by blood and legacy.

He warned her to stay out of the cellar.
She went anyway.

What ignites between them down there is anything but professional—hot, reckless, and laced with truths he swore to protect.
By morning, he’s gone cold.

She found what the Blackstones buried in blood.
And someone else will bury her to keep it hidden.

Desire is dangerous. Legacy is lethal.
And the bourbon? It tastes like sin.
