The Crush

In the first of Heather Heyford's new series, set in Oregon's Willamette Valley wine country, the grape isn't the only source of intoxication . . .

A Perfect Pairing

Juniper Hart has her dream job-or rather, her dream job has her. Under Junie's management, the winery her late father started is finally getting noticed. But she's lonely, deep in debt, and overwhelmed with work. Even if she had time to date, the only men she meets are smug, stemware-breaking hotshots like Lieutenant Manolo Santos, whose good looks and smooth charm don't half make up for the sour taste he leaves on Junie's palate.

After years as an army engineer and a childhood in a restaurant kitchen, Manolo can see Junie's winery is about to go sideways-and he's bursting with ideas to help. Except Junie's far too magnetic for comfort. He left New Jersey to escape becoming one more Santos man shackled to a captivating woman and a failing family business. But in the misty hills of Oregon, with a sip of supple pinot on his tongue, pulling away is the last thing he wants to do . . .
