Lay It Down — Cissy Mecca

I've had a crush on my best friend's older brother, Antonio Grado, since middle school.

And now that I work for Grado Valley Vineyards, it's getting harder to keep this infatuation a secret. My biggest problem? I just got scheduled to take a two-week road trip with Antonio -- aka Neo -- the sexy winemaker everyone adores.

Alone.

Just me and him.

But I can be professional, right?

I've had a lot of practice keeping those feelings locked up tight. Until a seductive game of truth or dare and a private stretch limo blows the “secret” part of my secret crush to bits and pieces.

But I can't let a few wine-fueled nights cloud my judgment. There's too much at stake -- my job, my relationship with my best friend, my treasured place within the Grado family.

They've taken care of me since I was young, and I would never risk losing them.

So I'll lose my heart instead.
