Bluegrass Security

Retired military officer Levi Jacobson built his small-town security business with one rule—work alone. He’s seen too much, lost too much, and trusting others—especially women—isn’t in his playbook. But when a wave of break-ins threatens his town, he’s forced to bring in outside help. Big mistake… or his best decision yet? Sage Reynolds doesn’t need anyone’s approval—just a paycheck big enough to keep her afloat. Taking a job in a sleepy town solving a string of robberies? Not ideal. Dealing with a gruff, maddeningly sexy boss who thinks she’s in over her head? Even worse.

Sam "Mac" McKenzie thought building his security business in a quiet town would be his fresh start. But when a one-night stand with a fiery detective turns into something more, he’s pulled into an investigation that could shake the entire Kentucky Derby scene. Stevie Jorgenson thrives on high-stakes cases and strong bourbon. But when prize-winning horses start turning up dead, she knows she’s running out of time. Enlisting the help of a rugged ex-military investigator is her best shot at catching the culprit—if only their undeniable chemistry wasn’t a distraction.

Chuck Layton is ready to make his mark at Bluegrass Security—and his latest case is his chance to do just that. But when a routine stop at the local salon leads to a shocking discovery, duty and desire collide in ways he never expected. Widowed salon owner Nita Brown has spent years protecting her son from the dangers of the world. But when Chuck walks in with news that could shatter everything, she’s torn between fear, frustration, and an attraction too strong to ignore.

Jeremy Dirks has built a solid future with Bluegrass Security, leaving the chaos of his military past behind. But when Dani Stewart—the feisty, grease-covered mechanic he's been secretly drawn to—finds herself in serious trouble, walking away is not an option. Dani has spent her life under the hood of a car, thriving in a world that underestimates her. But when a mystery vehicle brings danger straight to her garage, she turns to the one man she trusts—Dirks. Big mistake… or her only hope?
