When her ex-boyfriend refuses to sell her his land unless she dates him for a month, an uncompromising winemaker learns that some bargains are worth making for a second chance at love. Ward Cantrell’s never missed an opportunity to take the long shot. That recklessness cost him his college scholarship, his chance to play pro ball, and worst of all, the girl next door. The town–and the girl–never forgave him. But now he's taking one last long shot—opening a boutique distillery on the family farm he inherited. Piper Morrissey’s high school boyfriend overshadowed her with his golden-boy glory. When his reputation tarnished, she dumped him. And made herself over so that she could shine. Maintaining her spotless image–and that of her family's winery–is paramount. So it’s a problem when Ward agrees to sell the acres to start her precious port line..if she agrees to date him for one month. Ward hopes a month is all it'll take to convince his former sweetheart that he’s changed. Piper sees the one thing that hasn’t changed is how much he loves her. But the chance arises to thumb his nose at the town who rejected him when a developer offers to buy his land for triple the price Piper offers. Suddenly, he can’t afford not to reject Piper’s offer. Will that make her reject his love–for good?
