by Laura Piper Lee

When a prestigious wine festival announces it's coming to town, it kicks off a battle royale among local vineyards vying for the opportunity to host it. Zoe's in it to win it--being chosen would put Bluebell Vineyards on the map, and she could stick it to the vineyard next door, run by her ex-best friend (now enemy), Rachel. But when Zoe's father is called home to Italy to care for his sick mother, Bluebell is left without a vintner. Dejected, Zoe impulsively agrees to a blindfolded threesome with a friend, and excitingly, a stranger. But once the blindfolds come off, Zoe realizes the hot butch that rocked her world isn't a stranger at all. It's Laine Woods--Zoe's first crush...and, Zoe is horrified to discover, the Napa-trained vintner Zoe's dad just hired as his replacement.
