Description

I love this bar . . .

Deputy Tallulah Gentry has been infatuated with Honky Tonk Heaven ever since she was a little girl listening at her bedroom vent while her sheriff daddy told her mama about all the wild happenings at the infamous dancehall. And Tully couldn’t wait to experience the live bands, rowdy patrons, and country dancing on the solid oak dance floor for herself. Unfortunately, before she turns twenty-one, lightning strikes Honky Tonk Heaven and her dream turns to ashes . . . until the owner of the bar passes away and her four children come back to town. The Hennessy Hooligans were the bane of Tully’s father’s existence. As ornery kids than rowdy teenagers, they broke windows, destroyed mailboxes, picked fights, and basically terrorized the folks of Promise Springs. And like Honky Tonk Heaven, Tully had been totally infatuated with them . . . especially the dark-haired oldest, Jaxon. But when Jaxon robs the town gas station, Tully’s infatuation fizzes out like a dud firecracker. Now Jaxon is back in town, looking meaner—and hotter—than ever and Tully intends to keep her distance. Until she finds out Jaxon and his three siblings intend to reopen Honky Tonk Heaven. How can any woman resist the lure of a wild Texas honky tonk . . . or a tattooed bad boy who knows how to waltz?

Jaxon Hennessy has no desire to bring his family’s burned out dancehall back to life. Honky Tonk Heaven was the only thing his mama ever loved . . . which was why he and his two brothers and sister hated it. But in order to get the money Rosie left them, they have no choice. If they fail to renovate the dancehall in three months, some undisclosed person with get their inheritance. Jaxon figures his mama owes them for all the issues her lack of love have given them. He has no desire to be hurt again by a woman who can’t love. Especially a woman infatuated with Honky Tonk Heaven. But when Tallulah Gentry offers the money they need to help with renovations, Jaxon is stuck with the shapely deputy putting her two cents worth in on everything from the jukebox to the bathroom stall doors. Amid the sawdust and paint cans, Jaxon will come to realize that some women have enough love in their hearts for everyone . . . including a Hennessy Hooligan. All it will take is one moonlit waltz for that Hooligan to believe in happily ever afters.
