Sweet Spot
Sometimes trust is the toughest
lesson to learn.
Sophie Shaw is days away from signing a
contract that will fulfill her dream of owning a vineyard. For her,
it’s a chance to restart her life and put past tragedies to rest.
But Duncan Jamieson’s counter offer blows hers out to sea.
Duncan still finds Sophie as appealing
as he had during boyhood vacations to the lake. Older and wiser now,
he has his own reasons for wanting the land. His offer, however,
hinges on a zoning change approval.
Bribery rumors threaten the deal and
make Sophie wary of Duncan, yet she cannot deny his appeal. When her
journalistic research uncovers a Jamieson family secret, trust
becomes the hardest lesson for them both.

Excerpt:
“Now,
gently swirl the wine.” A slight twist of Sophie’s wrist rotated
the glass.
Duncan
copied her moves, realizing she made the gesture fluid, easier than
his attempts.
“This
gives the molecules a little nudge to entertain us. I mean, who
doesn’t like to be entertained.” She waved a playful brow. “Once
you get them moving, stick your nose up close and take a whiff.”
Sophie
brought her straight nose close to the rim. Her lids dropped, as if
prepared to receive a scent from heaven. She inhaled. Passion-filled
concentration dominated her expression, leaving him mesmerized,
unable to stop watching even as he lifted his own glass. He copied
her movements, contemplating the aroma in a way he’d never done
before.
When
he opened his eyes, she’d been watching. “Anything stand out?”
He
took a second, shorter whiff. “Pepper, I think.”
Her
mouth turned into a half-surprised, half-pleased smile. “Very
good.”
A
sensation fluttered in his gut, her approval an unexpected joy.
“I
smelled some kind of berry too. Now take a decent taste. Let the
liquid coat your entire mouth. It’ll feel different on your tongue
versus the roof of your mouth or the inside of your cheeks. There are
all kinds of hidden flavors. Some bold, others more subtle.”
She
brought the glass to her lips then stopped, leaned across the
counter, and placed her soft palm over the hand where he held the
glass. A sweet floral scent drifted from her hair. She dropped her
voice, now low and sexy. “A ready guy like you should take your
time with this one.” She cocked a loaded brow. “Really work hard
and you’ll detect the wine’s secrets.”
Heat
crept up his neck again.
The
microwave buzzer sounded but she kept her gaze on him as she tipped
back her goblet. Her full lips brushed the rim with the delicate
touch of a first kiss.
