#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey is back in Napa Valley with this hilarious rom-com about a down-on-her-luck heiress who suggests a mutually beneficial marriage of convenience to a man she can't stand... only to discover there's a fine line between love and hate.
After losing her job and her fiancé in one fell swoop, Natalie Vos returned home to lick her wounds. A few months later, she's sufficiently drowned her sorrows in cabernet and she's ready to get back on her feet. She just needs her trust fund to finance her new business venture. Unfortunately, the terms require she marry before she can have the money. And well, dumped, remember?
But Natalie is desperate enough to propose to a man who makes her want to kill him—and kiss him, in equal measure.
August Cates may own a vineyard, but he doesn't know jack about making wine. He's determined to do his late best friend proud, no matter what it takes. Except his tasting room is empty, his wine is disgusting (seriously, he once saw someone gag), and his buddy's legacy is circling the drain. No bank will give him the loan he needs to turn the business around... and then the gorgeous, feisty heiress knocks on his door.
Natalie has haunted August's dreams since the moment they met, but their sizzling chemistry immediately morphed into simmering insults. Now, a quickie marriage could help them both. A sham wedding, a few weeks living under the same roof, and then they can go their separate ways—assuming they make it out alive. How hard could it be?
There's just one thing they didn't account for: their unfortunate, unbearable, undeniable attraction.

Bestseller Bailey captivates in this bubbly sequel to Secretly Yours. When Natalie Vos, daughter of a prominent wine-making family, makes a disastrous trade at her New York City hedge fund, it costs her the job and her fiancé, and sends her home to Napa in embarrassment. Navy SEAL August Cates used his life savings to open a winery of his own as a tribute to his deceased, wine-loving SEAL teammate. He’s struggling, however; the wine is referred to as tasting of “big sweaty donkey balls” and like it was “fermented in a dumpster.” Natalie’s eager to return to New York and prove she’s not a screwup, but she’ll need her trust fund to do so—and her father refuses to release it unless she’s married. Despite their frenemy status, Natalie and August hatch a plan: they’ll enter into a modern-day marriage of convenience, then Natalie will get her trust fund and August will get funds to prop up his winery. Of course, the fake marriage sparks real desire. The road to happily ever after is anything but smooth, but Bailey does a masterful job bringing her characters to life through some genuinely hilarious moments and raunchy, red-hot sex scenes. Bailey’s fans will not be disappointed. Agent: Laura Bradford, Bradford Literary.
