Grog Monster
All was right in Peyton Tanner's world until trouble walked into her bar, and his name was Tate Briggs. For the past ten years Peyton's managed to live her life scandal-free while running the Grog Monster. A feat considering her father's the mayor, in a very small town. Staying under the radar is a priority when her every action is reported like the hottest news. And Peyton knows how fast that grapevine can turn on her. So no matter how delicious and forbidden Tate can be, she's not willing to turn her world into gossip central again for lust. Tate Briggs learned a long time ago to want what you want and not apologize for it, and he wants Peyton. He can understand her trepidation. Small towns are only kind to their local sweethearts when she's agreeable and perfect, but at some point Peyton's got to live for herself. But his patience is tested when she insists their affair must remain a secret. It goes against everything he believes in. When their relationship becomes more than a sexual affair, Peyton will have to decide between her beloved small town or the man she loves.
