Set in a world where southern wealth and power comes from one source. The Family is ruled by one boss and it's time for the newer generation to step into place. It’s a fragile thing- the whispers of truth that you hope are lies.Hughes Farm was the largest racing horse establishment in the south. The family that owned it were known to be wealthy, powerful, arrogant, and terrifying. My first encounter with them didn’t prepare me for all that was to come. I don’t think anything truly could have.Growing up with only my father and brother hadn’t been easy but we’d had each other. Losing them was the hardest thing I’d ever faced.

Editorial Reviews Review "I couldn't read fast enough. This book keeps you on your toes and keeps you guessing and your eyeballs working overtime." - Jerylin, Goodreads "Abbi Glines has this way of writing that includes her readers. It felt like I was on the sidelines watching everything go down! I was a bystander within Abbi Glines' wonderful world!!" - Alecia, Goodreads "A must read and definitely outstanding as always." - Kimberly, Goodreads "Blaise is hot and dangerous and so dirty in a good way. Maddy is sweet but not naive and can handle so much more than you think. However, Trev won my heart! And we can't forget Saxon. The whole thing is perfection." - Stephanie, Goodreads "Abbie had me from that opening chapter, she had me wanting to know more about these characters and that's what I love about a story. Getting pulled into a world that I don't want to leave." - Fiona, Goodreads "The strength of her characters makes you proud of womankind. You're all in on these fighters. But then Glines drops these men, oh lord, these men on these amazing women and that's where the fun begins." - Anna, Goodreads "Smokeshow is an enemies to lovers, country mafia type romance that will have you swooning and fanning yourself! I absolutely loved every second of this book and I'm dying for more!" - Amanda, Goodreads "I'm so invested in this world and I just need any and all words from Abbi Glines!" - Amanda, Goodreads "While Abbi's heroes can sometimes have a dark side, none of them touch on the morally grey vibe of Blaise Hughes! The man is sexy, possessive, ALPHA, borderline stalker...all the prerequisites for an unforgettable book boyfriend." - Lisa, Goodreads "This story was literally a mind blowing experience. Totally could not have predicted the events that took place, the dramatic and mystifying evolution and the complex and dangerously endearing characters. Full of tenacity, suspense and dastardly deeds, this story kept the intensity at breaking point levels." - Tracy, Goodreads About the Author Julia Atwood is an actor and audiobook narrator who earned her bachelor's degree in classics and psychology from Wheaton College.
