#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey is back in Napa Valley with this hilarious rom-com about a down-on-her-luck heiress who suggests a mutually beneficial marriage of convenience to a man she canāt stand... only to discover thereās a fine line between love and hate.
After losing her job and her fiancĆ© in one fell swoop, Natalie Vos returned home to lick her wounds. A few months later, sheās sufficiently drowned her sorrows in cabernet and sheās ready to get back on her feet. She just needs her trust fund to finance her new business venture. Unfortunately, the terms require she marry before she can have the money. And well, dumped, remember?
But Natalie is desperate enough to propose to a man who makes her want to kill himāand kiss him, in equal measure.
August Cates may own a vineyard, but he doesnāt know jack about making wine. Heās determined to do his late best friend proud, no matter what it takes. Except his tasting room is empty, his wine is disgusting (seriously, he once saw someone gag), and his buddyās legacy is circling the drain. No bank will give him the loan he needs to turn the business around... and then the gorgeous, feisty heiress knocks on his door.
Natalie has haunted August's dreams since the moment they met, but their sizzling chemistry immediately morphed into simmering insults. Now, a quickie marriage could help them both. A sham wedding, a few weeks living under the same roof, and then they can go their separate waysāassuming they make it out alive. How hard could it be?
Thereās just one thing they didnāt account for: their unfortunate, unbearable, undeniable attraction.
