Noelle
He was most certainly not going to make another appearance in my life. A year ago, I went to sleep alone every night. I prayed to be heard and seen. I wanted a life that made me happy. I thought it would be my successful Manhattan marketing business that would bring me joy and a fulfilled life. I knew I could be enough. I don’t need anyone but myself. And then my heart and life got unexpectedly cracked open. I hate that I’m vulnerable and hopeful now. I’m not good with hopeful. And I really freaking hate that the most arrogant, obnoxious, rude, gorgeous and perfect man is the one that made me hopeful. I’m desperately trying not to remember that one electric night but his face keeps creeping back into my mind.

She's the most irksome human I've ever met, and I've met some irksome humans. I don't have time for this. I'm the master of my world. I slay anyone in my way. I conquer business, and my personal life is under my control. Well, it was until her blonde bangs fell over her face while she was sipping bourbon. There is no one on this earth who is more maddening than her. I don’t know why she’s at my family’s winery or where she came from. But what I do know is that I was never supposed to see her again. That night, it was supposed to be one night. One! And now she’s here and driving me crazy with her flawless face and condescending attitude. We’re either going to screw up each other’s lives or... end up screwing.'
