One fateful night Lincoln and Faye both end up keeping each other's secrets.  After being away from Fiasco, KY, Faye is back as a burlesque dancer while keeping more secrets.  Lincoln doesn’t want Faye near him or his daughters but he can’t fight the pull he feels toward her.

Gah!  I love going to Fiasco.  These Foxx Bourbon boys really have a way of bringing spice and possessiveness.  Lincoln is broody and protective (actually all the Foxx men are) but he comes with glasses and is willing to be a “good boy” for Faye 🥵Then Faye shows back up with all her sass and determination and the perfect amount of confidence with her body and how to use it.

Lee Samuels and Megan Wick were rockstars in this story.  There has to be a certain amount of southern to really get a Kentucky feel.  Their voices were smooth and rich and the perfect combination.
