She is to learn the basics of wine making and vine growing. He is to learn the public relations side of the business.  The two must ignore their differences and animosity.   She resents any threat to her superiority.  There is a powerful attraction between the two despite their professional rivalry.

The characters come to life as real people with their strengths and weaknesses. The writing is smooth and readable.  This is an excellent combination of romance, conflict and intrigue.
