Crushing: LaChappelle/ Whittier Vineyards: Book 1

By Kelly Kay

One mistake. One smug billionaire. One chance to fix it, without falling for him again.

I was hired to save a struggling Sonoma Valley winery. What I wasn't hired to do? Fall into bed with the owner's son the night before my big pitch. But hey, in my defense, I didn't know Josh LaChappelle-Whittier was that Josh until he walked into the boardroom and I found myself staring at last night's very unforgettable mistake, sitting at the head of the table.

He's infuriating, arrogant, and rich enough to be completely uninterested in the family business I'm trying to save. And somehow, he's also been put in charge of my project. Which means I have to play nice with the very man trying to sabotage my campaign... while pretending we didn't have the best night of my life.

The more time we spend together, the messier it gets. He's maddening. He's magnetic. And unfortunately, he might just be the one thing standing between me and the career I've worked my butt off to build. Unless he's the one thing that makes it all worth it.

I came to market the wine, not fall for the winemaker's smug and unfortunately gorgeous, surly son.
