Chardonnay Brady Noah isnāt just my former friendāheās my brotherās best friend. The kind of guy who used to share inside jokes and late-night conversations with me. But one day, without warning, he flipped a switch and decided I was his enemy. For years, weāve barely tolerated each other, our interactions filled with sharp words and simmering tension.
So when I find myself helping him sort through the confusing paperwork for his estranged fatherāthe man who once made his life hellāI expect nothing but frustration. What I donāt expect is the way old familiarity creeps back in, how the boy I once knew surfaces in unexpected moments. And what I really donāt expect is the way my heart reacts to him, making me question if I ever truly hated him at all.
Brady Chardonnay was my friend onceāuntil she wasnāt. Sheās also my best friendās little sister, which meant she was always off-limits. Through the years, Iāve made sure she knew exactly where we stood. But now, between balancing my distillery and dealing with my fatherās worsening dementia, Iām drowning in medical paperwork and responsibilities I never wanted. And somehow, sheās the one stepping in.
Stubborn, determined, and still every bit the perfectionist I remember, Chardonnay is the last person I should be able to rely on. But as I sift through the mess of my fatherās past and my own buried resentment, I find myself leaning on her, and I canāt ignore the truth any longerāthis fire between us isnāt just old bitterness. And maybe, just maybe, it never was.
Discover the intoxicating blend of enemies to lovers, brotherās best friend, and best friendās sister in this steamy small-town romance.
