Kiara had no idea what was going on with Wyatt. He ran hot as lava one minute, cool as the ocean breeze the next.

Fickle. The man was fickle, and she certainly didn’t need that. But what if he was just as confused as she was by this undeniable attraction?

Maybe he’d figured out what an unlikely couple they were—the scientist and the slacker—and he was getting out while the getting was still good.

She couldn’t blame him. She should be grateful really. It was the smart thing to do. Sever the connection before either one of them got electrocuted. Disaster successfully averted.

Except for the fact she couldn’t sleep. Insomnia was no stranger.

With a mind chock-full of precision viticulture—micro-oxygenation, reverse osmosis, spinning cones, evaporators—Kiara often had trouble sleeping. Her science littered her mind with chemistry and biology and botany like a playroom floor cluttered with Lego and Barbies and little green plastic army men, arms raised in constant battle. Her work was her play.

Except all that had changed since Wyatt’s arrival.

Oh, her insomnia was still there, but the cause, that’s what had changed.

Equations and formulas and experiments no longer danced in her head, keeping her awake. Now Wyatt prowled her nights.

Images of him flashed through her head almost constantly, and there was little defense against them—the way his dark hair fell rakishly over his forehead, the sound of his rich laughter bubbling up from his chest like a free-flowing spring, the feel of his five o’clock shadow against the tips of her fingers, the extravagant taste of his lips.

He was always in her mind, and she couldn’t escape. Not even in sleep. For when she slept, she dreamed. And her dreams were even more vivid than her daytime fantasies.

In the lab, her new intern Lauren turned out to be a bubbly asset, eager to do whatever needed done, oftentimes anticipating Kiara’s needs and doing it before she could even tell her.

Two weeks went by. Kiara stayed longer hours in the lab. Burning the candle at both ends, working on new, organic methods of keeping the grapes healthy, dreaming up marketing campaigns for wider distribution after Decadent Midnight won the Best of the Best Award.

She arose before dawn, got into bed long after midnight. Sometimes she didn’t go to bed at all, just took catnaps at her desk.

Felix came through his neutering with flying colors, and he became the exemplary pet, often lying curled at her feet, taking catnaps with her. He was the perfect male companion. She tried to convince herself that he was the only male companion she needed, but her body wasn’t buying it.

Her body craved Wyatt.

Because of that, she did her best to stay out of the vineyards, sending Lauren whenever she could, and when business forced Kiara there, she would tell herself she was not going to look around for Wyatt.

But then, damn if she didn’t lift her head and search among the interns tending the vines until she spied his form toiling in the hot sun.

Then her stupid
