From New York Times and USA
Today bestselling author Kendall Ryan comes a new story in her Whiskey Kisses
series…
Everything’s bigger in Texas.
And that includes Duke Wilder’s sexual appetite.
Together with his twin brother, he runs a whiskey distillery, and when their business takes off—suddenly he’s got it all. Success. Money. Family. But he doesn’t have a woman to share it with.
When Valentina storms into his life, her presence is only supposed to be temporary. She’s a feisty attorney hired to help clean up his company’s recent legal mess. He never counted on her being the one to turn his whole world upside down.
After spending most of his life living in the shadow of his brother, Duke has something to prove, and he’s not about to let this distraction get in the way of his plans, no matter how hot things get.
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

EXCERPT
“I’ll drink to that,” I replied,
flagging the bartender down for another round.
Just then some movement over
Valentina’s shoulder caught my eye. A woman had just walked into the bar, her
chin-length, curly brown hair bouncing with every step. Our eyes met, and she
smiled like she knew me. I gave her a half smile back, which quickly faded when
I realized who she was. Amber, my ex from college who’d moved away shortly
after we graduated. Her hair was different, but her face was pretty much the
same. The same round cheeks, full lips, pale blue eyes. Eyes that bore into
mine as she turned the corner, making her way to our table.
It was then that I noticed she
wasn’t alone. She had a boy with her, and when his gaze met mine, my stomach
dropped.
That kid could have been my clone.
Brown hair, green eyes, same nose,
same chin. He even had my same damn dimples. My heart was beating so hard, I
thought it might jump right out from my throat. What the hell?
“Earth to Duke, are you paying for
this round, or am I?” Valentina’s voice broke me from my panic just in time for
Amber and the little boy to reach our table.
“Hey there, Duke. I was hoping I’d
find you here.” Amber’s voice was just as sweet and syrupy as ever, but in that
moment, it sounded to me like nails on a chalkboard. She smiled broadly at me,
her hands on the boy’s shoulders, while the boy stared blankly up at me.
“Hey, Amber,” I said when I finally
found my voice. “What’s it been, ten years?”
“Almost eleven.”
I nodded, my mind still spinning,
and that’s when I noticed Valentina. She was sitting up perfectly straight, her
lips pulled into a thin, taut line across her face. Her eyes were wide and
trained on the boy’s face, her expression unreadable.
“This is Valentina,” I said,
gesturing to her, but the moment the words left my mouth, Valentina stood and
grabbed her purse.
“I was just leaving,” she said,
quickly tucking her chair in behind her and forcing a smile at Amber and the
boy.
“Valentina—”
