Juliet Saunders quit her soul-killing law career while she still had her sanity, but she's not sure yet if buying a private bar qualifies as sane. Determined to make it work, she decides to shake things up with a new menu of signature cocktails.

Maybe, after hopscotching through a succession of short-term bar jobs, she's found a safe place-because in a members-only bar like The Hideout, her past isn't likely to follow her through the door. But in the glow of a surprising new relationship, it's too easy to forget that safety can be an illusion.and the past is never more than a step or two behind.
