Zoe Brennan, First Crush

A struggling vineyard owner gets a second taste of her first crush in this romantic comedy that sparkles with humor and heat. "One of the sexiest, funniest reads I've come across in years." -The New York Times Zoe Brennan may be the loneliest lesbian in Blue Ridge, but at least she has her family vineyard to keep her busy. When a prestigious wine festival announces it's coming to town, it kicks off a battle royale among local vineyards vying for the opportunity to host it. Zoe's in it to win it-being chosen would put Bluebell Vineyards on the map, and she could stick it to the vineyard next door, run by her ex-best friend (now enemy), Rachel. But when Zoe's father is called home to Italy to care for his sick mother, Bluebell is left without a vintner. Dejected, Zoe impulsively agrees to a blindfolded threesome with a friend, and excitingly, a stranger. But once the blindfolds come off, Zoe realizes the hot butch that rocked her world isn't a stranger at all. It's Laine Woods-Zoe's first crush, Rachel's big sister, and, Zoe is horrified to discover, the Napa-trained vintner Zoe's dad just hired as his replacement. While they try to ignore their sizzling chemistry, Laine's snobbery and Zoe's pride collide at every step, creating a generous pour of professional-and sexual-tension. Collaborating is the only way to win the festival, but when that means late nights under the stars and letting go of the past, Zoe must be careful-or Laine might crush her heart for good. Perfect for fans of romance novels who enjoy their smut wrapped in wit and wine, Zoe Brennan, First Crush delivers everything lesbian romance readers crave-from deliciously crafted enemies to lovers tension to the cozy comfort of small town romance charm.
