Wicked Winemakers Second Label

While some of the members of Los Caballeros may be happily married, there are more of our favorite good-guy vigilantes going up for bid at the fundraising event that’s always the talk of the town—the Wicked Winemakers’ Ball. Dump those purses, open up those wallets, and get ready to pay for the bachelor you crave the most. Who’s ready to sip some wine while swooning over the hottest men in California?

As the youngest Barrett, I have a reputation that belies who I really am. Everyone believes I’m a billionaire bad boy who travels the globe seeking fun, wine, and anything fine—the antithesis of my older brother. But something is calling me—something I can’t quite understand. With enough money to want for nothing, is it possible that what I want has been right under my nose all along.

A relationship between us would be taboo and forbidden, but I can’t shake what I feel. She’s my best friend’s ex-girlfriend. They’ve been on; they’ve been off. But now that he’s married to someone else, it’s time to let her see how a real man can treat her—and to show her this guy she’s kept in the friend zone will be the hottest lover she’s ever known.

I’ve spent the past year recovering from an attack that nearly killed me, monitoring security feeds, and avoiding human connection. But when Eberly Warwick bids on a date with me at a charity auction, I can’t resist the pull of the innocent event planner who’s been working at Los Caballeros. Her wide-eyed trust awakens my protective instincts—and darker desires. As her father’s disappearance becomes entangled with my violent past, I must risk everything to keep her safe, even as I struggle to resist claiming her completely.

When Saffron Hope asks me to find my great-grandmother’s half of an old wine formula as her bachelor-auction favor, I figure it’ll take a few hours of searching through dusty files. But when I discover her family’s winery is three months from bankruptcy, everything changes. Now, we’re racing against the clock to solve a seventy-year-old mystery, and I’m falling for the determined woman who sees salvation in a bottle of wine.
