Newly heartbroken --- again --- substitute teacher Farzan Alavi is drowning his sorrows at Kansas City’s newest wine bar. But instead of being crowded between strangers, he’s escorted to a VIP table for one. The way the hot sommelier flirts with Farzan ignites instant sparks. There’s just one problem: David Curtis thinks Farzan is Kansas City’s most influential food critic. The truth only comes out after the two spend an unforgettably hot night together. It turns out that David is studying to become a master sommelier and has no interest in a relationship. Neither expects their paths to cross again...until Farzan inherits his family’s bistro. The two agree to a friends-sans-benefits exchange: David will share his industry knowledge, and Farzan will help David study. But business turns to pleasure when neither can ignore the attraction still sizzling between them.
