When Adam orders Jess off the case, she's determined to stick around…even if their partnership—and relationship—has never been stormier. Adam's never fully trusted a partner before, never mind tried to solve a heist-related murder with the woman he loves. Chemistry isn't the issue for Adam and Jess. But they'll need to figure out how to transfer it from romance to business if they want to make it out of wine country alive.  This book is approximately 38,000 words less
