Behind the Bar — Renee Harless

Love gets mixed up . . .behind the bar.Risking it all for his family, Landon Murphy never looked back at the choices he made. But, years spent in prison had hardened him into a man he hardly recognized. Slinging drinks gave him the peace he craved, but his demons were never far from his mind. . . until she walked into his bar. Having a one-night-stand wasn't something Kerry Albertine expected when she snuck away from her country and responsibilities to the place she had always felt at home, Carson, North Carolina. But the sexy man with a hint of an Irish accent left the tiara shoved at the bottom of her bag and her forgetting who she was. . .at least for a little while. When Landon and Kerry's one-night-stand spills outside of the bedroom, their secrets are exposed, threatening any hopes for a future. Living in the shadows or yielding to her royal duties weighs on Kerry's shoulders. While Landon must decide to hide behind his new secluded life or take the greatest risk of all.
