Synopsis

Includes all four books in the bestselling Grade Valley Vineyards steamy small-town romance series plus a bonus novella

Book One - Pop and Pour

Newly fired from my Manhattan job and fresh off a breakup, it’s no surprise I got tipsy during a wine-tasting road trip and ended up doing snow angels on the winery lawn... in June.

Cosimo Grado, the gorgeous, grumpy owner, was not amused. He’s even less pleased when his brother hires me for a summer position at the winery. But a break from the city is exactly what I need, so I take the job.

True, I don’t know much about wine yet, but I’m not the spoiled city girl he thinks I am. I just need a chance to prove myself.

As summer heats up, so does the tension between us. He’s focused on protecting his family’s legacy. I’m trying to mend my heart before returning to city life. Neither of us needs the distraction. But one late night in the tasting room, the tension bubbles over. Now I’m falling for my boss, and my heart tells me to run.

Book Two - Lay It Down

I’ve had a crush on my best friend’s older brother, Antonio Grado, since middle school.

Now that I work for Grado Valley Vineyards, keeping this infatuation a secret is harder. My biggest problem? I’m scheduled for a two-week road trip with Antonio—aka Neo—the sexy winemaker everyone adores.

Alone. Just me and him.

I’ve had practice keeping those feelings locked up tight. Until a game of truth or dare and a private limo blow the “secret” part of my crush to bits.

But I can’t let a few wine-fueled nights cloud my judgment. There’s too much at stake—my job, my relationship with my best friend, my place within the Grado family.

They’ve taken care of me since I was young, and I’d never risk losing them. So I’ll lose my heart instead.

Book Three - Sip and Savor

When Hudson visits my hometown of Kitchi Falls to clear his mind, the spark between us becomes impossible to ignore. His rugged charm makes it hard to remember why we can’t be together.

My overprotective brothers hate his profession, and my friends insist Hudson will break my heart, especially now that his dream record deal is within reach. Meanwhile, I’m deeply rooted in the Finger Lakes, co-owning my family’s winery. Hudson’s ambitions are bound to take him far from the life I cherish.

When disaster strikes at Grado Valley Vineyards, the gap between us widens even more. My brothers’ disapproval of the man I’ve fallen for becomes the least of our problems.

Book Four - Horizontal Tasting

He’s a playboy. A certified Casanova I would have fallen for as a younger woman.

Marco Grado’s intense gaze and swagger made it clear he was used to getting what he wanted. Especially when he turns out to be the same Marco Grado who co-owns the vineyard neighboring mine. Or more precisely, the vineyard I could own if I accept my father’s “gift” of part-ownership in Sunset Vineyards.

Choosing between forgiving my father for the pain he’s caused or returning to a job I hate leaves no room for the kind of heartbreak Marco would bring. I know better now.

Bonus Novella - Entry Level

My hot new neighbor hates me.

A year ago, Owen Smith and I had an epic weekend together, almost enough to make me move to the Finger Lakes to be with him. Instead, I got scared and ended our long-distance chance at love. When a twist of fate sends me back to small-town Kitchi Falls for good, I hope we can pick up where we left off.

Not. Even. Close.

Now everyone wonders why the owner of KC’s Taphouse won’t look at me. Why he avoids me every time we’re in the same place. Why his smile disappears at the mention of my name.

Every encounter and rebuffed attempt remind me of his touch and everything I lost. Now all I want is a second chance.
