Moonshine Task Force

The kid is now a man, and he's got something to prove…..Caleb "Cruise" Harrison"A Dad is a son's first hero……"All my life I've looked up to my Dad, there's nothing I ever wanted to do more than be a member of the Moonshine Task Force right next to him. I said no to playing football professionally to stay in Laurel Springs and fulfill my dream. I'm biding my time, paying my dues, and soaking up any bit of information my fellow MTF members slip my way. To most of them I'm the kid they watched grow up, and while they're proud of me, they don't take me seriously.Life is status quo until the morning all hell breaks loose in our small town threatening everyone I know and love – including the one woman I can't get out of my head.Ruby Carson"My favorite place? In his arms……"Caleb saved me from the worst date of my life, swooping in like the fixer he is. Smiling his panty-melting grin, he grabbed my hand, and extricated me from the longest ninety minutes known in the history of the world. Instead, he took me on the best date I've ever had. We've been inseparable since that crazy night.It hasn't been picture-perfect. His job is dangerous, it worries me, even when he tells me not to. One gorgeous summer day, it all comes crashing down on us.The man who has my heart is in the middle of a FUBAR situation that has no good ending. My hope is, when the smoke clears Caleb walking towards me, arms out-stretched, with that grin on his face, before he envelopes my body into the hug only he can give.That's what would happen in a perfect world – but I've never known a perfect world – not even with Caleb……

Ace is saving lives and mending hearts.......Anthony "Ace" BaileyI'm not a rules kinda guy Department Policy? Kinda sucks, but I do what I have to for the job that I love.Playing it safe? Not my thing.Married? No big deal when I know she's unhappy and scared.I'm one of those guys – a sniper in the military, a little bit of an adrenaline junkie, and a member of the Moonshine Task Force. I've lived through some shit.My gut has never failed me. It's my sixth-sense. Warning me of a gunshot coming my way, of a traffic stop being potentially deadly, or the tingling in the back of my neck when I go to sleep telling me I'll be woken up by a call in the middle of the night. My gut has always kept me honest.Like the day I walked into The Café and saw the new waitress. There was a ring on her left hand, but I didn't care. One look in her eyes told me everything I needed to know. Her marriage wasn't one made of love and respect. It was one made of fear and doubt.It's why I ignored that ring, why I arrested her husband, and the reason I'm willing to take my time. Patience is a virtue, and with this woman, I have it in spades.Violet MillerMeeting Anthony Bailey changed my life. He did things that no one else has ever done for me.Feeling safe? Never happened before.Feeling wanted? It's been years.Being independent? I'm learning.It's foreign, not having someone question my every move, being able to eat what I want for dinner, and sitting out on my front porch talking to Anthony every night while we share a couple beers.I try to tell myself he's just being nice; that he's doing his job and working within the community. The problem? The night he takes the kiss we both want, everything changes, and I can no longer deny what I feel. But it doesn't stop me from trying – and I learn quickly that Ace knows me better than anyone else ever has – including myself.All I can do is hang on, as he takes me on the scariest journey of my life. The one that bends us until we almost break, and ends with a happily ever after I never thought I would get.ACE includes the wedding of a beloved couple, an appearance by Reaper, and the continuation of EVERYONE falling in love with Caleb!
