THE VINTNER’S VIXEN

With movie roles for “Curvy Best Friend” drying up fast, actress Angelica Travis is happy to leave Hollywood behind to renovate a bed and breakfast in River Hill, the jewel of Northern California’s wine country. She’s got plans and power tools ready, but an inconvenient attraction to her handsome new neighbor is not on the agenda. 

Winemaker Noah Bradstone’s master plan is right on schedule. Until construction on the B&B next door threatens his prize-winning vines, culminating in an explosive encounter with his sexy new neighbor. With her pink tool belt and her saucy retorts, Angelica is infuriating. But what’s even more infuriating is how badly he still wants her.

Despite their constant bickering, Noah and Angelica have more in common than they thought—including an attraction that burns red hot. But when his past and her future collide, they’re forced to answer some very difficult questions. Can their love survive these shocking revelations? Better yet ... can they survive each other?

THE DISTILLER’S DARLING

Wine country is an unlikely place to launch a whiskey empire, but Irishman Iain Brennan’s just reckless enough to make it work. And finding out the alluring artist he hooked up with a couple of months ago lives in town is an added bonus—especially since she’s even less interested in a relationship than he is. Friends with benefits, on the other hand, sounds very appealing.

Naomi Klein may have put down roots in River Hill, but she’s not looking for happily-ever-after. Just the idea of forever gives her hives. Which makes a rootless Irish wanderer in town for three months the perfect temporary fling. And shocking her mother? Just a bonus.

But as cozy autumn nights turn into lazy winter mornings, Iain and Naomi realize they’ve done the unthinkable and fallen in love. Neither are ready to settle down, but settling for a life apart is out of the question. Or is it?

THE BAKER’S BEAUTY

After tragedy struck, Sean Amory left L.A. to come home to River Hill to work at his family’s bakery. The familiar surroundings soothe his raw nerves while the gorgeous brunette who jogs past every morning has another effect entirely. And when she helps him out of a bind, he learns Jess is even sweeter than the apple fritters he’s famous for. 

Former beauty queen Jessica Casillas-Moore hasn’t eaten carbs since she was fourteen, but that doesn’t stop her from jogging past The Breadery every morning. And when she meets the handsome baker who works there, Sean is every bit as mouthwatering as the pastries he serves—and so much better for her waistline.

But between her family’s disapproval and his haunting past, the odds seem stacked against them. Can Sean and Jess learn to trust in each other and their growing love, or is their relationship a recipe for disaster?

THE BARISTA’S BELOVED

It’s been months since whiskey maker Maeve Brennan has been on a date, and she’s coming dangerously close to giving up on men altogether—until she crosses paths with River Hill’s sexy new barista. But Ben’s made it clear he only wants to be friends, so Maeve will definitely stop fantasizing about his forearms. Probably. Maybe.

Former lawyer Ben Worthington never thought he’d be living above his best friend’s garage and slinging coffee, but there’s a lot about his life that doesn’t make sense. Like his attraction to the town’s beloved distiller. But since Maeve’s made it clear she doesn’t have time for romance, Ben will stop dreaming about her naked. Soon. Eventually.

But when the youth center where Maeve volunteers comes under fire from a big-city developer, Ben realizes he’s exactly the type of hero she needs. He just hopes she can live with his take-no-prisoners approach to winning, because he’s pretty sure he can’t live without her.

THE CHEF’S CUTIE

When Chef Max Vergaras’s orphaned niece comes to live with him, expanding his restaurant empire is put on the back burner. He’s not equipped to handle raising a nine-year-old girl, especially under the watchful eye of Elizabeth Teague, the social services caseworker assigned to them. Things have never been more complicated, and that includes his feelings for the blonde beauty he's quickly falling for. She's everything he wants, and nothing that he can have.

Lizzie Teague can’t get distracted by one case, even if her new client Max has a way with food that has her thinking about things that definitely aren’t on the menu. With her career on the line, she has to remember why she took this job in the first place. It certainly wasn't to fall in love, no matter how irresistible the sexy, charismatic chef and his sweet, young niece might be.

Max and Lizzie could lose everything if they give in to temptation. But what if it’s possible for them to gain even more? What would they risk when love—and family—is on the line?
