Love in the Vineyards Series by Kate Kisset

Synopsis: Many of my readers wanted more of the back story I alluded to in my full length novel NAPA CRUSH.

For readers who haven’t read NAPA CRUSH, this is a standalone short story about a teenager’s first Kiss. It takes place on a quiet street, in Napa, California... moreSynopsis: Many of my readers wanted more of the back story I alluded to in my full length novel NAPA CRUSH.

Mix a make-out scene in a hotel linen closet and a pet rescue fundraiser. Toss in two matchmaking grannies who have only ONE WISH this Christmas and get ready for a happily ever after! Lilly Martelli’s first vacation in over a year has her on a mission to support her two busybody relatives in St. Helena. Helping the grannies bake stinky fruitcakes for their Christmas bake sale is bad enough, but being forced to co-host the fund-raiser with Mr.-Fun-in-the-pants Brett Benning might be too hot to handle. Brett had hoped retiring from football, becoming a firefighter, and moving back to Napa Valley would be enough to repair his reputation. But he’s sick to death of the tiny town gossip, and tired of dating in the shallow end of the pool. He’s looking to score The One. What are the odds he’d find her while helping with the annual bake sale? His smart and sexy co-chair has him eating out of her hands and asking for seconds of her grandmother’s nasty fruitcake. For the first time in his life, Brett might be in over his head. One Wish is a standalone, sexy romcom. Although you don’t have to read any of Kate’s other stories to enjoy this one, Love in the Vineyards fans will love seeing their favorite characters from other stories, as they get to know the Santino brothers’ lovable grandmother, Mimi, their quirky great-aunt Cha-Cha, and all their gorgeous cousins.
