Struth is an author to watch!"
—Laura Drake, author of RITA-award winning The Sweet Spot
Sometimes
trust is the toughest lesson to learn.
Sophie Shaw is days away from signing a
contract that will fulfill her dream of owning a vineyard. For her, it’s a
chance to restart her life and put past tragedies to rest. But Duncan
Jamieson’s counter offer blows hers out to sea.
Duncan still finds Sophie as appealing as
he had during boyhood vacations to the lake. Older and wiser now, he has his
own reasons for wanting the land. His offer, however, hinges on a zoning change
approval.
Bribery rumors threaten the deal and make
Sophie wary of Duncan, yet she cannot deny his appeal. When her journalistic
research uncovers a Jamieson family secret, trust becomes the hardest lesson
for them both.

Excerpt:
“Now, gently swirl the wine.” A
slight twist of Sophie’s wrist rotated the glass.
Duncan copied her moves, realizing
she made the gesture fluid, easier than his attempts.
“This gives the molecules a
little nudge to entertain us. I mean, who doesn’t like to be entertained.” She
waved a playful brow. “Once you get them moving, stick your nose up close and
take a whiff.”
Sophie brought her straight nose
close to the rim. Her lids dropped, as if prepared to receive a scent from
heaven. She inhaled. Passion-filled concentration dominated her expression,
leaving him mesmerized, unable to stop watching even as he lifted his own
glass. He copied her movements, contemplating the aroma in a way he’d never
done before.
When he opened his eyes, she’d
been watching. “Anything stand out?”
He took a second, shorter whiff.
“Pepper, I think.”
Her mouth turned into a half-surprised,
half-pleased smile. “Very good.”
A sensation fluttered in his gut,
her approval an unexpected joy.
“I smelled some kind of berry
too. Now take a decent taste. Let the liquid coat your entire mouth. It’ll feel
different on your tongue versus the roof of your mouth or the inside of your
cheeks. There are all kinds of hidden flavors. Some bold, others more subtle.”
She brought the glass to her lips
then stopped, leaned across the counter, and placed her soft palm over the hand
where he held the glass. A sweet floral scent drifted from her hair. She
dropped her voice, now low and sexy. “A ready guy like you should take your
time with this one.” She cocked a loaded brow. “Really work hard and you’ll
detect the wine’s secrets.”
Heat crept up his neck again.
The microwave buzzer sounded but
she kept her gaze on him as she tipped back her goblet. Her full lips brushed
the rim with the delicate touch of a first kiss.
