“If there was one thing Ellis could trust, it
was her first impressions, and things were not looking good for Wallace. She’d always
had a knack for sizing people up quickly, but she’d recently had the
opportunity to hone her skills. Since June, when her partner announced his
plans to retire, every beer loving Lothario in a thirty-mile radius had shown
up at the brewery thinking that if they bought Barney out, they’d get to plant
themselves behind the bar and “pick up chicks.””
Craft Brewer Ellis Bourne has two problems:
avoiding the suitors her match-making mother thrusts upon her and finding a new
business partner. Luckily for her, she knows she can always trust her first
impressions. So when a handsome vintner Dean Pembrook insults her, she knows
exactly what to think of him. That is until Dean’s friend shows interest in her
business, and she’s stuck trying to ignore Dean and trying to get his friend
invest in her small-town brewery.
