Secrets age like wine... and this one is ready to be uncorked.
Elko, Nevada, 1955
Seventy-six-year-old Meg Bruno has spent decades in quiet exile, keeping the past buried where it belongs. Once known as the infamous Bootlegging Queen, she smuggled sacramental wine during Prohibition-until the law caught up with her, stripping her of everything. The headlines wrote her story, but the truth? That's a secret she swore she'd take to her grave.
June Monroe is a tenacious young reporter desperate for a career-making story. She's come to Meg's doorstep, pencil in hand, determined to unearth the facts of one of the largest wine raids in Nevada history while wanting to know more about the woman who never spoke to defend herself. But the harder June presses, the more Meg resists-until a secret she didn't see coming changes her world forever.
As past and present collide, Meg must decide: will she keep her silence and leave this world an outcast, or risk everything to tell the truth at last?
Inspired by true events, The Bootlegger's Betrayal is a sweeping historical novel of resilience, redemption, and the price of keeping secrets.
Perfect for readers who love: Fierce, independent heroines, slow-burning family mysteries, rich historical settings, and twists that keep the pages turning.
The past is full of secrets... but some refuse to stay buried.
