Synopsis

Syrah Ardani tried independence—but the call of the Napa Valley hills and rolling vineyards of her family's winery have brought her home again. She is content with her ordered world until she learns that her father's feckless management has put Ardani Vineyards into receivership.

Corporate turnaround specialist Toni Blanchard's arrival is preceded by tales of her slash-and-burn techniques. Determined to meet this soulless corporate raider head on, Syrah proudly prepares to do battle for her home and family business.

Toni has reason to retreat from a high-pressure Manhattan lifestyle, not the least of which is a bitter breakup. She's been told that Syrah Ardani is attractive and single, but Toni never mixes business and pleasure.

Creditors clamor for a quick sale and payment. The beautiful—and hostile—Syrah wants Toni off her land and out of her life.

Their clashes smolder with distrust and resentment, but also threaten to light a completely different kind of fire. Most dangerous of all is the one thing Toni can't control—the way her heart reacts when Syrah looks at her . . . just like that.

This book is a must read for all the lesbian Jane Austen fans out there, and I know there are a lot of you out there. Elizabeth Bennett has the heart of a lesbian, and Jane probably did too.

You're going to love it! This is not just about wine but also about misunderstanding, a lack of trust, disbelief, and an ex girlfriend with a malicious behavior (I hate that bitch). Fortunately, there is also a lot of love. It is excellently written and I can recommend it to everyone. You won't be di......more
