"I'm afraid my vagina might turn itself inside out if you try to give it another orgasm so soon." --Scarlett Bodine Raised by her three overbearing brothers, Scarlett is a hell-raising tomboy with a tool belt. A tornado stirring up trouble everywhere she goes. Her favorite pastimes? Drinking any man under the table and two-stepping. But she has zero interest in love. Scarlett's only being neighborly when she claims her sexy next-door neighbor as her new pet project. Devlin is a man at rock bottom. Marriage, political career, five-year plan to Washington, D.C. All destroyed with one well-placed jab. The golden boy is now the black sheep relegated to Bootleg Springs, a tiny West Virginia town with two claims to fame: 1. Moonshine and 2. The cold case disappearance of a teen girl. Devlin just wants to lick his wounds. But Scarlett has other ideas for his tongue... and the rest of him. She's determined to bring him back to life, even if getting him back on his feet means never seeing him again. But when an old mystery becomes new news, she'll need his help to survive the scandal.

It's one of my goals to read all of Lucy Score's books. They don't disappoint. Scarlett is the youngest Bodine sibling, the only girl and the one who found her dad dead in his bed a few weeks ago following a lifetime of drinking. Devlin is hiding out in his gran's house following his separation from his wife (she cheated) and looking to rebuild his political career when the dust settles (he punched the guy she was cheating with). Devlin's trying to enjoy the peaceful rural West Virginian town of Bootleg Springs but his neighbour's having a party. He goes over to complain and finds out his neighbour is Scarlett. He didn't stand a chance. Scarlett worked with her daddy and so is the town handywoman and starts to fix up Devlin's house whilst his gran and her partner are on holidays.
In addition to falling for her neighbour the feisty Scarlett has also been dropped in it by her 3 older brothers to clear out their dad's house. Their mum died in a car accident years ago. Whilst clearing out his bedroom she finds the red cardigan of Callie who went missing 12 years ago. Some people think she ran away, others think she's dead. Small towns love gossip.
This was close to perfect - small town America, murder mystery that spans the series, and all the Bodine brothers.
