A struggling vineyard owner gets a second taste of her first crush in this romantic comedy that sparkles with humor and heat.   Zoe Brennan may be the loneliest lesbian in Blue Ridge, but at least she has her family vineyard to keep her busy. When a prestigious wine festival announces it’s coming to town, it kicks off a battle royale among local vineyards vying for the opportunity to host it. Zoe’s in it to win it—being chosen would put Bluebell Vineyards on the map, and she could stick it to the vineyard next door, run by her ex–best friend (now enemy), Rachel. But when Zoe’s father is called home to Italy to care for his sick mother, Bluebell is left without a vintner. Dejected, Zoe impulsively agrees to a blindfolded threesome with a friend, and excitingly, a stranger. But once the blindfolds come off, Zoe realizes the hot butch that rocked her world isn’t a stranger at all. It’s Laine Woods—Zoe’s first crush, Rachel’s big sister, and, Zoe is horrified to discover, the Napa-trained vintner Zoe’s dad just hired as his replacement. While they try to ignore their sizzling chemistry, Laine’s snobbery and Zoe’s pride collide at every step, creating a generous pour of professional—and sexual—tension. Collaborating is the only way to win the festival, but when that means late nights under the stars and letting go of the past, Zoe must be careful—or Laine might crush her heart for good.Perfect for fans of romance novels who enjoy their smut wrapped in wit and wine, Zoe Brennan, First Crush delivers everything lesbian romance readers crave - from deliciously crafted enemies to lovers tension to the cozy comfort of small town romance charm. Readers who enjoy some depth to their spicy books will love this intoxicating tale of a vineyard owner getting a second chance with her first crush.

Míg a kislányok Barbie babákról álmodnak, Scarlett már egészen kicsi korában ügyvédeset játszik. Amikor felnő, nem kérdés, hogy az apja ügyvédi irodájánál akar elhelyezkedni, és ezért hajlandó mindent – barátokat, magánéletet – feláldozni. Mentora, Hudson csak a munkájának él, és nincs ínyére, hogy a főnök lányát mellé osztják be. Megfogadja, hogy pokollá teszi Scarlett életét. Egyikük sem számít arra, hogy a vonzalomnak nehezebb ellenállni, mint gondolták, és hogy a másik maszkja alatt egy teljesen más embert találnak, akit az előítéleteik miatt nem vehettek észre...

Az űrmérnökként dolgozó Esther Abbott nem hisz a szerelemben: neki elég, hogy tökéletesen boldog életet él, miközben szívből gyűlöli a hipsztersapkás forgatókönyvíró szomszédját, Jonathant. A nyugodt mindennapoknak azonban vége szakad, amikor kénytelen lesz ördögi alkut kötni a sráccal: ha Jonathan eltereli a legjobb barátnője figyelmét egy kínos exről, Esther lesz a tudományos tanácsadója az éppen készülő sci-fi forgatókönyvéhez. A lány türelmét erősen próbára teszi, amikor teljesítenie kell az alku rá eső részét. Ám minél több időt tölt Jonathannel, ráébred, hogy a fiú nem is annyira vészes, és a gyűlölet egyre inkább vonzalommá alakul át. Már csak az a kérdés, Esther képes lesz-e túllépni önmaga árnyékán, vagy az élete egyenesen a katasztrófa felé száguld...

Prečo mať jedného, keď ich môže mať troch? Volám sa Layla Thompsonová a vo vzťahoch som nemožná. Vážne. Mám dvadsaťosem rokov a nikdy som nemala priateľa. Pomaly strácam trpezlivosť. Našťastie mám troch skvelých kamarátov, ktorí mi ochotne pomôžu zdokonaliť sa vo flirtovaní. Keď som sa im po nevydarenom rande vyplakala na pleci, títo traja muži sa mi rozhodli pomôcť. Súhlasili s tým, že spoločne budú mojimi „cvičnými frajermi“ a vymyslia plán lekcií plný falošných rande, milostných schôdzok a lekcií flirtovania. Na oplátku musím raz týždenne vystúpiť v ich podcaste, v ktorom poslucháčom radia o vzťahoch. Také jednoduché. Lekcie sú však čoraz intenzívnejšie. Každý „falošný“ dotyk trvá príliš dlho a každý „cvičný“ bozk sa končí ohňostrojom. Netrvá dlho a uvedomím si, že ich priateľstvo mi už nestačí. Chcem viac. Chlapci ma naučili, ako si získať priateľa. Tak to skúsim – a hneď trikrát. Z anglického originálu Faking with Benefits (2021) preložila Jana Seichertová.
