In this sexy, emotionally satisfying LGBTQIA+ romance, a grumpy sommelier and a flirty mixologist just might be the perfect pairingâŚ
Rivalry never tasted so good.
Oâ little town of Bethlehem, Pennsylvaniaâit may be charming, but Julien Boire canât wait to get out of there. Soon heâll be leaving to take an advanced wine course that will put him on track to become a master sommelier. Meantime, his OCD demands he keep clear of distractions, especially the hot new hire at his aunt and uncleâs restaurant, Martinâs Place.
Which should be easy, because Greg Harlow is as ill-suited to Julien as a bold cabernet is to a delicate salmon entrĂŠe. Charismatic and confident, Greg is a TikTok mixologist who could charm a paper bagâeven one as tightly wound as Julien. One thing they do have in common: neither wants a relationship.
Gregâs history with dating isâŚcomplicated. Yet working together isnât. First, theyâre teaming up to launch a series of happy hour events at Martinâs Place. Then theyâre agreeing to a no-strings sex pact that involves new worlds of experimentation. Nothing is off-limits. Except a future.
Itâs exactly how Julien wants it. Except for the little part of him that wonders if maybe heâs about to lose the kind of happy that could last much longer than an hourâŚ
