Synopsis: Luke Scherer has turned bad romance into an art. When he catches his latest deadbeat boyfriend selling Luke's belongings--and his own body--to cover his debts, Luke decides he needs a vacation. He just doesn't expect his Napa Valley retreat to be a step into his past. Eight years ago Mal Kuijpers was grieving his wife while his vineyard floundered. Hiring Luke for the summer put the business back on track and a smile back on Mal's face. Nineteen-year-old Luke had just gotten out from under his father's thumb and started saving for his education, his last screw-you to his old man. Then he made the mistake of falling for his boss, his dad caught up with him, and Luke panicked--and fled. Now they have another chance. Mal has his own share of closet skeletons, including a family he doesn't talk to and a dead wife he sometimes does, and he's gone without romance for years. He works hard to convince Luke he's worth more than a casual fling and asks for nothing in return, but Luke needs a relationship of equals. If Mal can believe in himself and Luke can believe in love, two hot summers might yield a lifelong reward.
