In the sticky, starlit heat of Key West, Jess Quinn has built a reputation - the quick-witted bartender at The Velvet Palace with a smile that could talk a saint into sin. She's smart, charming, and unapologetically single. One night, one laugh, one goodbye - that's her rhythm, and it's always worked. A tourist here, a local there - each a brief spark in a life Jess insists is better kept uncomplicated. Until one night becomes a little too quiet, and she starts to feel the echo of everything she's pretending not to want. Whiskey Heart follows Jess through late nights, bad choices, and unexpected kindness as she begins to see that being a player isn't the same as being free. And when she finally meets someone who won't fall for her act - someone who makes her feel seen - Jess has to decide whether she's brave enough to stop running. Set against the neon glow and salt air of the Florida Keys, Whiskey Heart is a sharp, soulful story about love, self-sabotage, and the courage it takes to stay.
