The Sommelier's Selection
Steph Sinclair
He’s a fake date with a real touch. She’s a perfectionist about to learn that love doesn’t follow a tasting menu.
Chloe Vance’s life is as curated as her wine list. As a master sommelier up for a career-making promotion, she needs one thing to seal the deal: a sophisticated partner for the industry’s most exclusive gala. Enter Jack O’Malley, the charming, blue-collar construction worker renovating her restaurant’s cellar. He’s all rough edges and honest smiles—the absolute opposite of what she needs.
Desperate, she makes him an offer: a paycheck to play the part of “Jacques,” a worldly art historian, for one night. In return, she’ll teach him the difference between Merlot and a masterpiece. But as their lessons in swirling and sniffing turn into late-night conversations, Chloe discovers Jack has a natural palate for life—and an uncanny ability to see past her perfectly composed exterior.
When their act becomes the talk of the town, they must decide if the connection they’re faking is the most real thing they’ve ever had. Can a love built on a business deal mature into a vintage that lasts a lifetime?
A charming, heartwarming fake dating romance where the most exquisite pairing isn’t wine and cheese, but a sommelier who has everything figured out and the man who shows her she’s been reading the wrong list all along.
