Highball Rush

Gibson Bodine has spent years cultivating the image of the town’s rough-edged loner, the kind of man who keeps his distance and expects nothing softer from life than a barstool, a guitar, and a hard-earned reputation. Highball Rush finally brings him to the front of the Bootleg Springs series, just as the long-running mystery around Callie Kendall’s disappearance reaches its breaking point. As old secrets start surfacing, the danger is no longer abstract or buried in the town’s past. It lands close to home, forcing Gibson into a role he would rather avoid.

That gives the book a slightly different feel from the earlier Bootleg Springs romances. The setting still has the series’ usual mix of nosy neighbors, backwoods charm, and small-town eccentricity, but the emotional pressure is heavier here, with the romance unfolding alongside the final reckoning with the mystery that has shaped the series from the start. Readers can expect a story that is more intense and more exposed than Gibson’s tough exterior suggests, with love, danger, and long-hidden truth arriving all at once.
