Toast and Char

When Prent Oakes, former playboy and wealthy half-owner of Commonwealth Cooperage, Kentucky's oldest barrel-making business, left Dr. Miranda Chaplin at the altar over two years ago, he was sure it was over.

Except since that day Miranda had never been able to tell him to get out of her life. Undaunted and with the faintest hope, Prent pursues the fiancee he abandoned and knows he doesn't deserve.

Just as he thinks his win-her-back campaign has finally been successful, their tentative efforts to revive their love are threatened by Prent's past, problems in their professional lives, and the disapproval of family—as well as a secret Miranda has harbored since their wedding day.

There's no doubt the heat still burns between them—but will their love be resurrected from the ashes or will they both be left burned?

TOAST AND CHAR is the eighth book in the Bourbon Springs Series.
