The first time we met, he "arrested" me.The second time, he tied my hands behind my back, wearing only a cowboy hat and a thong.Our night together is nothing more than a dare. I told my friends I wanted to kiss a cowboy during a weekend bachelorette party in Nashville, and they took me a bit more seriously than I'd intended.But when my sexy "cowboy" decides a trip to my hometown of Kitchi Falls is just what he needs to clear the cobwebs from his uncertain future, suddenly our intense connection is no joke.My overprotective brothers are less than thrilled with his profession.Even my friends warn me away, insisting big-hearted Hudson is sure to break mine, now that the elusive record deal he's always wanted is within his reach. I'm firmly ensconced in the Finger Lakes, as part owner of my family's winery, while Hudson's dream, to become a country singer, is sure to take him far away from the life I hold dear.When disaster strikes at our family-owned Grado Valley Vineyards, the distance between us grows even more pronounced. Suddenly, my brothers' disapproval of the man I've fallen for is the least of our problems.

I''ve made a lifetime of bad decisions, but I always land on my feet.Every damn time.My father says that''s the problem. But he says a lot of things about me, none of them very nice.I finally have a chance to show him, to show everyone, I''m more than a pretty boy who parties hard with his parents'' money. My business partner Enzo and I have developed a product that will change the world.There''s just one snag.Ada Flemming, the FDA official who controls our company''s fate, is the most compelling woman I''ve ever met. Even though it could cost me everything-my friendship with Enzo, my business, and my one chance at redemption-I can''t seem to stay away from her.Pursuing Ada might be the biggest screwup of all-the only bad decision I don''t bounce back from.But it''s too late to start making safe decisions now.

"Hello, Enzo."With just two simple words, Chari Atwood storms back into my life.Beautiful. Irresistible. The woman standing before me is not the girl I knew growing up.And I''m not the same hopeful kid everyone thought was going nowhere fast. Nowadays, I''m a hero. A celebrity. A man who isn''t content with the billions in his bank account.Call me ambitious if you want. I have my sights set on the rest of the world, and don''t have time for a relationship, relationship-even with the one woman who still has the power to bring me to my knees.I will not break.I will not succumb. Except that I''m used to getting exactly what I want, and after one chance encounter, it''s clear that what I want is Chari Atwood . . .Even if she is my best friend''s little sister.
