One night out. One balmy evening in Napa Valley. One man, letting loose before embarking on a new business venture. One woman, letting her hair down after another fight with her father over how she runs her wineryâand her life. One too many glasses of wine. What does it all add up to?
A one night stand.
Chelsea Hamilton has led a charmed life. Sheâs a golden girl who has it all. She grew up in the lap of luxury surrounded by a loving family. Sheâs no spoiled little rich girl, though. She has a huge heart, a kind heart, a giving heart â a heart that sometimes blinds her to the more practical considerations in lifeâand business. She just wants to be allowed to run the winery her way. Okay, so the profit margins might not be in line with the rest of Hamilton-Groves, but itâs not like sheâs making a loss. Unfortunately, her father believes she can be brought into line and heâs hired Grant Dawson to turn the winery around, and to teach Chelsea a few lessons in the process.
Grantâs eager to prove his worth to the patriarch of Hamilton-Groves. Heâs masterminded dozens of successful corporate turnarounds. He doesnât foresee many difficulties in whipping a little winery into shape. It should be a straightforward job that will hopefully lead to more work with the Hamilton Groves Corporation.
It should be, it would beâif the woman heâs supposed to be helping wasnât the very same woman he hasnât been able to get out of his mind since he let her out of his bed twenty-four hours ago. Howâs he supposed to focus on turning the business around when he doesnât know if heâs more infuriated or infatuated? Whichever it is, Chelseaâs fighting him every step of the way.
