Sam knew he was acting unconscionably—he owed Mari a huge apology, but every time he opened his mouth, something else came out.

So much for being a decent guy. He was a selfish, angry man who couldn’t see past the end of his own nose. He needed to shake it off and just be happy for his baby sister on her wedding day.

Pretend to fit in. How hard could that be?

For a guy driving a beat-up pickup truck that no car wash could get entirely clean, pretty damn hard. He’d gotten the inside professionally detailed this week, but he’d still needed to haul some hay the day before, and…well, there was no way around the fact that he was a country hick who had recently developed an impulse-control problem.

Being dressed in a suit that cost more than his last feed bill didn’t change the fact that he had no clue how to wear it—or play the games it seemed to call for.

His shoulders hitched up as he took the hill out of town. In the last few years, the stretch between Wardham and Kingsville had gotten downright fancy—and Go West Winery led the charge in that respect.

The winery sat at the end of a long, tree-lined drive, right on the edge of the lake. The modern glass building to the right housed the vineyard operations, the banquet hall, the wine shop, and the various offices. On the far side of the parking lot was the all-that-is-old-is-new-again original mansion that had recently been turned into a modern, luxurious inn.

Of course it had.

Because nothing about Wardham could stay sleepy and faded and normal.

Sam gritted his teeth together as he walked across the parking lot and pulled open the door to the main winery building. The spacious lobby was empty, but he could hear staff moving around in the banquet hall. The ceremony would be outside, on the back terrace overlooking the lake, before moving inside for cocktails and dinner and dancing.

He’d been to a few nice weddings in the last couple of years—many of them in this very same building. The West brothers certainly knew how to throw a party.

But the Millers had gone all out. It definitely wasn’t the Beadies who’d picked trees draped in pearls for the extravagant centrepieces, that was for damn sure. For every time he and his father disagreed on something, they never wasted money like that.

“You look like you just swallowed something sour,” a gentle voice sounded from the staircase.

Sam turned his head to the side, then rocked back on his heel. Well, damn. Big eyes, shiny golden brown hair, and curves that filled out a bright red dress like magic. He grinned at the beautiful woman who now stood where a moment before there had been nobody. “Sorry about that,” he murmured, moving closer to the perfect excuse to get out of his head. “I thought I was alone with my thoughts.”

Her eyes twinkled. “So you don’t deny the thoughts were sour. Are you a jilted lover or something?”

He laughed.
