Sommario/riassunto

The undeniable chemistry between food photographer Catherine Kelley and billionaire gourmand William Lambourne has become an unquenchable thirst... Catherine's career in Chicago is taking off and the handsome stormy-eyed stranger who recently rocked her world has become-dare she say it?-her boyfriend. Dating a billionaire who's a god in the bedroom and a virtuoso in the kitchen definitely has its perks. But it's the unguarded, tender moments with William that stir Cat's heart and reawaken her appetite for love. A weekend trip to William's vineyard so he can face a painful loss puts their new relationship to the test. Complex and layered, William is at once passionate and sweet, but also prickly and guarded. He's promised openness, but it becomes immediately clear that Cat's version of honesty and his are as different as chardonnay and pinot noir. It's hard to fault William for his secretive ways when Cat knows she's holding back, too. As the attraction between them gets even hotter, Catherine and William must share all of their secrets before their relationship can truly begin. And little does Cat know how dangerous confronting their pasts will be. Book 2 in the The Epicurean series.
