Blood and Bourbon Set against the backdrop of a century-old distillery in New Orleans’ French Quarter, Lena, a mixed-race illegitimate daughter, loses control of the business to her stepmother following her father’s funeral. Her fate is then ensnared by Maddox, a partner at a Chicago vulture fund, over an old debt. Wills, equity, fine spirits, desire and revenge intertwine, as everyone uses bourbon to mask the stench of blood. Lena has ninety days to defend the recipe, her dignity and the distillery. Behind Maddox’s ruthless takeover lies a decades-old family secret that refuses to stay buried.
