BLURB:
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.
"Heart-tugging small
town romance with real emotion. Struth is an author to watch!"
—Laura
Drake, author of RITA-award winning The Sweet Spot
"Superb… throw in a
hunky dad, a small town and a savvy heroine who gets the job done and you've
got me hooked!"
—Rachel
Brimble, author of A Man like Him

EXCERPTS :
“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.
