Bourbon Lullaby

Myles Foster: CEO, thief, and brooding grouch. And, long ago, the boy who read me stories during thunderstorms. My brothers have hated him ever since he exploited the secrets of our family distillery to build his own empire. My sisters don't even remember him. And me? I'm going to be his new assistant. To him, I'm just a temporary worker with a deep understanding of the world of spirits. But if I tell him where I learned everything I know, he'll fire me before I can find out what happened to the boy who could soothe my fears. How did that angry teenager, with a grudge the size of Montana, manage to become the owner of a respected, ever-expanding distillery? How did he get my adoptive father to reveal so many secrets of the family business… only to disappear and become our biggest competitor? How could he vanish from our lives and forget me when I've never been able to? He doesn't trust anyone easily, and I'm only in his office because of a lie. But if that lie gives me all the answers I've been searching for for twenty-two years, then I'll stay here, until the moment I finally remember who I am. And then it will be my turn to disappear.
