ALEX
PRESENT DAY
Hold her, Alex!” Aiden splashes into the ditch where I’m
kneeling, wire cutters in hand.
I’m on my knees clutching a pig the size of a bloodhound, her head
scrubbing against my stomach as she struggles to escape, and I lift my chin
as he feels around in the dark brown sludge behind the squirming animal.
“It’s okay, Myrtle. We’ve got you.” The stench sends a hot surge of bile
into my throat, and I do my best to keep calm even as she grinds her muddy
snout through my dress shirt to my skin.
“Oh, Myrtle!” Holly Newton, Myrtle’s owner, cries from the sidewalk
above us. “My sweet piggy! How did this happen?”
The panic in her voice is not helping calm the animal, but I exhale
slowly, doing my best to hold on.

Aiden is working fast, his brow furrowed and his jaw set. I imagine as
sheriff of our small town he’s used to dealing with this kind of thing.
As soon as he left the Marines, he came back and took over our late
dad’s old job, and it suits his no-nonsense, hands in the dirt, man-of-fewwords persona.
As CEO of Stone Cold distillery, producer of the world-renowned Stone
Cold original single barrel bourbon, the best single-batch bourbon since
Blanton’s, I prefer cleaner work.
I spend my days talking to influencers and journalists, carefully crafting
fine whiskeys and then helping the people who matter see it’s the best on
the market. I don’t wear a suit to work every day, but I don’t mind the days
when I do.
Days like today, unfortunately.
While my brother is wearing a thick, canvas uniform and heavy boots
similar to what we wore in basic training, I’m in Armani and Italian leather
loafers—all of which are now ruined.
How the fuck did I wind up in this ditch covered in mud, bear-hugging a
pig?
I blame myself.
It’s a lovely summer’s day, and I decided to swing by the courthouse
after meeting with our accountant to share the mid-year numbers with
Aiden.
Besides fishing, Pop taught me how he made his special recipe bourbon
in the old distillery he inherited from his father. It’s a long, slow process
that requires patience and attention to detail, which suits my persona.
When I left the Navy, I turned Pop’s hobby into a full-time business
with our mom, Aiden, and Adam as investors. Stone Cold has had a series
of very good years, making us millionaires several times over, and it’s
poised to go even higher.
I’m pretty proud of what we’ve accomplished in such a short time, but
as usual, Aiden simply nods and leaves the business side of things to me.
Our conversation had just drifted to his upcoming wedding, which will
be held in our new event space behind the distillery next month, when the
call came through that Myrtle, the town’s award-winning pig, had escaped
her pen and was running down Main Street in a panic and squealing.
As Aiden’s sole dispatcher, Holly went into a total meltdown. His one
deputy was out of the office—getting Krispy Kreme donuts, no doubt—so
without hesitation, my brother grabbed me to help him capture the rogue
pig.
