A Good Vintage (Unabridged)

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.
