Sip and Savor

The first time we met, he "arrested" me.

The second time, he tied my hands behind my back, wearing only a cowboy hat and a thong.

Our night together is nothing more than a dare. I told my friends I wanted to kiss a cowboy during a weekend bachelorette party in Nashville, and they took me a bit more seriously than I'd intended.

But when my sexy "cowboy" decides a trip to my hometown of Kitchi Falls is just what he needs to clear the cobwebs from his uncertain future, suddenly our intense connection is no joke.

My overprotective brothers are less than thrilled with his profession.

Even my friends warn me away, insisting big-hearted Hudson is sure to break mine, now that the elusive record deal he's always wanted is within his reach. I'm firmly ensconced in the Finger Lakes, as part owner of my family's winery, while Hudson's dream, to become a country singer, is sure to take him far away from the life I hold dear.

When disaster strikes at our family-owned Grado Valley Vineyards, the distance between us grows even more pronounced. Suddenly, my brothers' disapproval of the man I've fallen for is the least of our problems.
