*~*Love Notes: Jonah to Ava Grace – Barreled Over by Jenna Sutton*~*
Ready for another round…
Ava Grace Landy’s music career is humming along until a shakeup at her label jeopardizes her recording contract and curses her with the world’s worst boss. Determined to satisfy him, she partners with Trinity Distillery to access a larger male audience. To her surprise, she’s the one who’s satisfied—by none other than Jonah Beck, the gorgeous, yet gruff man behind the bourbon.
No doubt about it, bourbon runs in Beck’s blood. But it’s audacious Ava Grace who makes it run hot. When she signs on as the spokesperson for his craft distillery, he doesn’t plan on hoisting her onto an oak barrel and rocking the rickhouse. Though he’s convinced their lives don’t mix—like a terrible cocktail—he can’t keep his hands off the alluring country star.
Ava Grace and Beck try to keep their intoxicating relationship private, but the glare of her fame is too bright, revealing secrets they both want to remain hidden. With a spotlight shining on his tumultuous past, their future is at risk. Now they must decide if being together is worth sacrificing the career she loves and the company he’s poured his heart and soul into.
Jenna sure is a lucky girl…

Ava Grace,
This is the first time I’ve ever written a love letter. Then again, you’re my first for a lot of things. I can hear you now, asking for an example. How about this: you were the first woman I ever had on top of a bourbon barrel.
That was so hot, I still can’t believe the rickhouse didn’t explode. And now I’m hard, which isn’t all that surprising because I get hard every time I think of you.
Maybe I should give up on this letter and just show you how I feel. You know, it’s a little intimidating to write a love letter to a woman who’s won a Grammy for her songwriting and whose songs are played at weddings. That reminds me—don’t we need to pick a song for our first dance?
I’ll never be able to find the words to tell you how much I love you and how much better my life is with you in it. I’m going to try though.
Someone once told me that women are like bourbon. I didn’t believe him until I met you.
He said a good one is warm and smooth and just a little sweet. But she’s got some kick to her … a bite that makes you flinch. She makes your throat burn and your chest tight, and then she settles in your belly and glows like an ember.
Well, sugar, I want you to know this: you’re better than the finest-crafted bourbon. I’ll never get enough of you.
All my love,
Jonah
