About Guarding the Bootlegger’s Widow<\/strong> by Denise Devine:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s 1926 in St. Paul, Minnesota and Prohibition is in full swing. A woman can vote, work full time, show her legs in public and cut her hair but she can\u2019t enter a speakeasy without a man by her side\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Charlotte LeDoux is struggling to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. Her late husband, Gus, has left her a lot to deal with\u2014his sprawling business empire, his enemies and an ex-mistress who desperately needs a friend. It\u2019s tough for a woman to compete in a man\u2019s world and even though it\u2019s a never-ending uphill battle, she is determined to succeed.<\/p>\n

Char gets a new Model T and is excited when William Van Elsberg offers to give her a driving lesson. She\u2019s attracted to the handsome private detective, who, in many ways, is the polar opposite of Gus. Will takes her out for a spin in the car and instructs her how to drive, but at the same time, teaches her how to love again. She\u2019s never been so happy!<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Gus\u2019 enemies are circling like vultures. An anonymous note threatening Char\u2019s life forces Will to become her personal bodyguard. He\u2019s highly qualified, but Char\u2019s stubborn belief in her own independence makes it the most difficult job he\u2019s ever taken. Can he keep her safe or will he lose her in the most dangerous fight of her life?<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prologue<\/p>\n

According to the gossip on the streets of St. Paul, my late husband was a man of many secrets. One of the most widely spread stories I found intriguing, but also amusing, involved a secluded hideout where he supposedly had a wall literally lined with stacks of cash. If he did, Gus had taken this information to the grave because he\u2019d never shared it with me.<\/p>\n

Gus had been a bootlegger who\u2019d made his fortune running \u201cMinnesota 13,\u201d the Dom Perignon of bootlegged whiskey from two Minnesota counties\u2014Stearns and Morrison\u2014to distributors in the Dakotas and Chicago. Ruthless and powerful, \u201cLucky\u201d Gus LeDoux had earned an unfathomable amount of money and gained a notorious reputation, but made permanent enemies along the way. I always knew someday he\u2019d die a violent death. I just never envisioned it would be by my<\/em> hand.<\/p>\n

I hadn\u2019t planned to shoot my husband; I\u2019d acted purely in self-defense. It did no good to dwell on it, but the memory of that horrific, life-altering day still haunted me\u2026<\/p>\n

Desperate to escape his life of crime, I\u2019d run away from my husband and found refuge working as a domestic servant in the home of a private investigator. Gus eventually found out and stormed my place of work, forcing me to leave with him. As Federal agents surrounded the area, two men tried to apprehend him and he gunned them down\u2014while I helplessly watched. My husband had a reputation for brutality, but to witness it firsthand horrified me and caused me to fear for not only my own safety, but also the well-being of my unborn child. I refused to go on and told Gus I wanted nothing more to do with him. He roared that if he couldn\u2019t have me, no one would, and he tried to choke me.<\/p>\n

Determined to save my baby, I grabbed his gun. We struggled. The gun went off. The memory of that deadly, piercing sound still left me numb; a stark reminder that my son, now three and a half months old, would never know his father. And I was to blame.<\/p>\n

Only one other person saw what happened, but I knew Will Van Elsberg would never divulge my secret to anyone. To rescue me from the fray, he had lifted me in his arms and carried me to a secure place to keep me safe, proving himself to be the only true hero I\u2019d ever known.<\/p>\n

The events of that dark, rainy afternoon altered my life forever. As Gus\u2019 widow, I inherited a fortune and became the sole parent to my newborn son. Though I was on my own for the first time in my life, I felt safe. I was free.<\/p>\n

Then fate pulled me back to the dark side of Gus\u2019 world, the most dangerous place I could be.<\/p>\n
