An intoxicating and sparkling new romance by New York Times bestselling author Jasmine Guillory.
Margot Noble needs some relief from the stress of running the family winery with her brother. Enter Luke: sexy, charming, and best of all in the too-small world of Napa, a stranger. The chemistry between them is undeniable, and Margot is delighted that she lucked into the perfect one-night stand she’ll never have to see again. That is, until the winery’s newest hire, Luke, walks in the next morning. Margot is determined to keep things purely professional, but when their every interaction reminds her of the attraction still bubbling between them, it proves to be much more challenging than she expects.
Luke Williams had it all, but when he quits his high-salary tech job in Silicon Valley in a blaze of burnout and moves back to Napa to help a friend, he realizes he doesn’t want to tell the world—or his mom—why he’s now working at a winery. His mom loves bragging about her successful son—how can he admit that the job she’s so proud of broke him? Luke has no idea what is next for him, but one thing is certain: he wants more from the incredibly smart and sexy woman he hooked up with—even after he learns she’s his new boss. But even if they can find a way to be together that wouldn’t be an ethical nightmare, would such a successful woman really want a tech-world dropout?
Set against a lush backdrop of Napa Valley wine country, nothing goes to your head as fast as a taste of love—even if it means changing all your plans.

From the cover
One
Margot Noble bit her lip so she wouldn't scream.
"I know that Uncle Stan never had parties here," she said to her brother, as calmly as she could. "But I'm suggesting that we do something different this year. Shake it up a little. It's the twenty-fifth anniversary of Noble Family Vineyards, and I think it's worthy of celebration. A party for our wine club members and other guests seems like a perfect way to do it."
By the look on Elliot's face it was like she'd suggested turning the vineyard into a corn maze.
"This sounds like a huge amount of hassle, Margot," Elliot said. "You want to have this party here? Why would we do something like that?"
She'd known Elliot would hate this idea.
"First, like I said, it's the anniversary-I know we've never really celebrated it, but it seems like a great year to do it. Second, a number of our wine club members and other visitors to the winery have asked why we don't have parties here, especially since we have such a great space, so I think people would be excited to come. Third, it's excellent marketing for us and our wines-it'll sell wine, give us some great publicity, get people here who haven't been to the tasting room before, and keep them coming back. And it'll add members to our wine club." She hoped. "And fourth, it might earn us some money-we'll charge a fee for the party, and parties like this tend to sell a bunch of wine anyway, so it'll be a win-win."
Elliot's face closed up. She knew what he was thinking. She kept using "we" and "our," like the first person plural encompassed her, too. But she knew he thought of the winery as his, and his alone. He'd been the one who had worked here for ten years, not her. Well, they'd owned the winery together since their uncle had died and left it to the two of them, almost three years ago. It felt like Elliot would never get used to that.
"Stan didn't want to have parties," Elliot said. "He didn't want us to become one of those wineries where people would go there just to get drunk and make scenes. That's not who Noble is."
Margot made herself take a deep breath.
"It's not going to be that kind of party," she said. "Just a time for people to come, see what we've done here, taste the wines, bring their friends along, celebrate with us. It will give us a publicity boost, it'll sell some wine, it'll drive more visits to the winery, all good things."
Do you remember what a shaky financial situation this place was in when I came on board? she wanted to-but did not-say. Do you see how much better we're doing now, with all of the changes I've instituted? Can you, just once, not argue with me about my ideas? Maybe even trust me?
Instead she took another deep breath. "Plus, it's a great opportunity to do some of that landscaping I've been wanting to do."
They had a lot of outdoor space at the winery, but it was kind of bare. The lawn between the winery building and the barn needed work, and she wanted to add more flowers, herbs, and greenery to the grounds. Maybe even a little garden. She'd mentioned all of this to Elliot before, but he'd mostly ignored her.
"Seems like you've made up your mind to do this, whether I like it or not," he said. "When will this party be?"
She wasn't going to let herself react to that.
"I wanted to talk to you about it before I decided that." Well, she also wanted to talk to other people in the area first, see when other wineries had scheduled their parties, check to see when she could get the landscaping done, and catering, and all of those details that Elliot wouldn't care about.
"Okay," he said. "Thanks for letting me know."
That sounded...

Starred review from June 27, 2022 Bestseller Guillory (The Wedding Party) sets this scintillating workplace romance at a Napa Valley vineyard. Its co-owner, Margot Noble, faces a crisis of conscience when she realizes that her recent steamy one-night stand is also her new employee, Luke Williams, hired by her brother in her absence. Though their intense attraction lingers, Margot’s determined not to sleep with her employee (again). Her brother, the vineyard’s other owner, doesn’t believe she deserves to have inherited her half of the business from their uncle, and she doesn’t want to give him any more ammunition to use against her. The situation is just as fraught for Luke, who recently quit a high-paying tech job with a discriminatory boss—a fact he hasn’t yet told his mother, who also mistakenly believes he’s dating his best friend. A relationship with Margot would only complicate things further—but knowing that does nothing to curtail his desire. When his mother has an accident, Luke quits the vineyard to fill in at her inn, giving Luke and Margot the opportunity to explore their chemistry at last. His shyness and her strength are an orgasmic combination, but Margot’s fear of being judged and Luke’s need to prove himself worthy threaten their happiness. The lush background and Guillory’s signature blend of sexy, sweet, and funny keep the pages flying. This is a gem. Agent: Holly Root, Root Literary.
Margot Noble and her brother inherited a California vineyard; managing it together has been rewarding but stressful. In search of some escape, Margot has a one-night stand with Luke, a sexy and charming former tech worker searching for his own place in the world. After their spectacular night, Margot is shocked when Luke shows up at work the next day--he is the new employee that her brother hired on her day off. It's a struggle to keep things professional as the two fall further and further in love. Guillory's (By the Book) latest is a fun and flirty listen, enlivened by the engaging push and pull as the characters balance love with workplace dictates. Narrators Heidi Franklin and Ryan Vincent Anderson provide sparkling performances, with Franklin capturing Margot's drive and strong personality and Anderson bringing out Luke's sensitivity. VERDICT Guillory satisfyingly plays with romantic tropes, creating a thoroughly contemporary romance set against the beautiful background of California's wine country. Recommend to fans of Denise Williams, Farrah Rochon, and Abby Jimenez.--Elyssa Everling

Listeners will fall for this adorable romance performed by Heidi Franklin and Ryan Vincent Anderson. Margot Noble has an incredible one-night stand--only to discover that Luke, the man she just slept with, is her new employee. Luke, for his part, is equally surprised, but now that Margot is Luke's boss, they know they can't be together. Franklin and Vincent capture the couple's pining and steamy encounters as they circle each other, trying to deny their obvious feelings. Franklin portrays a stressed and ambitious Margot, imbuing her with the perfect amount of intense energy. Anderson's Luke is comforting. His dialogue always has just the right gentle and supportive tone. K.D.W. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
