A year ago, I took the opportunity to spend one night with the mysteriously sexy man I had been dreaming about for two decades. When reality beckoned the next morning, I walked away from him and resumed my life, carrying my broken heart with me.
Now, the one thing I never expected to see has happened, and I am about to reenter the timeless world of Jack Perry. Where his fame impresses no one, least of all himself. Where days and nights become blurry, and clocks cease to exist. A place where passion and lust will land me on the doorstep of an explosive confession. Above all else, this is the moment when the door to my closure will be kicked wide open. This time, will I stay?

Jack Cassidy heads the team opening the next in an exclusive line of boutique hotels, this one in wine country. Working with his best friend’s sister should make it easier, tapping into her expertise about the area and its wines. The pair have been friends for years, so sharing an apartment shouldn’t pose any issues… except for the simmering heat building between them.
Campbell Taylor’s one of only a handful of women to battle the all-boys club and go for the title of master sommelier. She didn’t rise to her position by being a pushover, but living and working with her brother’s best friend – the man she’s secretly crushed on for years – might prove to be her greatest challenge. How can she get him to see her as more than Cameron’s little sister? And will their undeniable attraction derail her dreams?
They both stood and Campbell stumbled into him. Jack caught her shoulders in his large hands and her fingers splayed across his powerful hard chest.
She tilted her head back and their gazes locked. “Jack.” His name escaped on a long breathy sigh. Every inch of her was pressed against his chiseled body and a shiver rushed through her.
His eyes hooded and he yanked her closer. He slid his hands up to frame her face and lowered his mouth to hers in a whisper of a kiss. Sampling. Testing. Asking.
She answered. Her lips parted and their tongues tangled and stroked and sparred. He tasted like crème brûlée and heaven and how she’d always imagined his beautiful mouth would feel against hers. She slid her arms around his neck, thrusting her fingers into his close-cropped dark hair. A hum escaped her throat and she changed the angle of the kiss, teasing and tasting.
She dug her nails into his scalp. More. She wanted more of him. Needed more. His clean masculine scent, his powerful body, the overwhelming sense of him, was like a match tossed onto the fire raging inside her.
He growled, stroked his hands down her back, and cupped her ass, rocking her against the steel ridge of his arousal. He slanted his mouth across hers and took her deeper. The overhead lights and the rest of the world receded and all her focus narrowed down to their connection.
The heat blazed between them.
He pulled his head back, his breath ragged, his eyes closed, the dark lashes fanning out over his cheekbones. He lowered his head again and trailed kisses down her neck and found the tender spot in the hollow of her throat. Goosebumps erupted along her skin and her back arched, crushing her breasts against him. Her head lolled back, suddenly too heavy to handle the onslaught of sensation coursing through her.
“Campbell,” he rasped her name and the hint of stubble on his jaw felt like a rough cat’s tongue against her skin.
She shivered. “Jack.” She kept her eyes squeezed shut, unwilling to allow anything to invade this perfect bubble enveloping them.
A sharp chime sounded from a distance, piercing said bubble. For a moment, neither of them moved.
