Simon: Rum Over Whiskey /The Chastain Family
Simon was born into responsibility.
As the eldest brother, he was raised to protect the tribe, honor tradition, and prepare for leadership he never asked for. One sister is determined to rise as chief, challenging centuries of expectation. The other bends herself into silence, desperate to keep the family—and the tribe—whole. Both look to Simon to steady the ground beneath them.
He’s exhausted.
A solitary trip to New York is meant to give him space to think, to breathe outside the weight of ceremony and obligation. Instead, it gives him Kinsley—a woman with no ties to his tribe, no reverence for his lineage, and no expectations of who he’s supposed to be.
With her, Simon is free.
Kinsley
My life recently can be summed up on a checklist.
1=Quit job spectacularly, check
2=Inherit a building and open a lounge, check and check
3= Meet a hot man and thoroughly enjoy said man Check with a smile
4= My ex was released from jail. He wants me back Double-check
Did I mention I was the one that sent him to jail?
Simon
I am the sole owner of Chastain Liquors Inc. and the chief of our clan. When my name is uttered in certain circles of the world it is with respect. Can you tell me why my sisters want me to fail, while I am trying to redeem our family name with our people? Particularly Brenda
Brenda
I’m sick of being pushed to the side and not appreciated for what I have to offer. If they cannot see my potential, then I will open their eyes for them. Simon, my older brother, will find out who really runs Chastain Liquors, and Burn his best friend needs to stay away from me.
Burn
I put my foot in it again. I hate to see any of the Chastain siblings upset. So when I suggested Simon go to New York with his recent shipment as a vacation. I really thought I was doing a good deed.
Until he assigned me to watch over his sister. Especially the one named Brenda.
