Bootleg Springs Books in Order

Bootleg Springs drops you into a lakeside town in West Virginia where the moonshine is strong, the gossip is stronger, and the Bodine family seems to be at the center of everything. Co written by Lucy Score and Claire Kingsley, the series follows a tight knit group of siblings, friends, and newcomers whose lives are all tangled up with one very cold case.

More than a decade before the first book, local teenager Callie Kendall vanished, leaving behind rumors, old grudges, and a town that never quite recovered. Each romance in the series moves the mystery forward a little more, uncovering new clues about what really happened that night. At the same time the Bodines and their partners are wrestling with their own baggage, from ruined careers to family reputations that will not die.

The stories themselves lean into small town chaos. In Whiskey Chaser a heartbroken politician exiles himself to his grandmother’s cabin and falls for the wild, loyal neighbor who decides to rebuild him. Sidecar Crush brings a disgraced reality star home and drops her straight back into the orbit of the quiet artist who has loved her for years. Moonshine Kiss pairs a no nonsense deputy with the one man she vowed never to touch, her best friend’s big brother.

Later books push the stakes even higher. Bourbon Bliss sees numbers obsessed June Tucker tripping over both romance and new evidence while a battered former pro athlete hides out in Bootleg. In Gin Fling and Highball Rush, new Bodine half brothers arrive, carrying fresh secrets that collide with the truth about Callie. Through it all, townspeople meddle, lakeside parties go a little off the rails, and the Bodines keep finding themselves pulled toward the futures they never thought they deserved.

What ties the series together is the sense of community. Neighbors look out for each other even as they argue on the softball field or push unwanted casseroles on the newest resident. Romance, humor, and suspense share space on the page, so you might laugh out loud in one chapter and stay up far too late in the next because you have to know how both the case and the love story end.
