About this ebook
This is a second, revised edition of Jae’s award-winning lesbian romance "Something in the Wine". It includes the sexy follow-up short story “Seduction for Beginners” as a bonus.
All her life, Annie Prideaux has suffered through her brother’s constant practical jokes. But Jake’s last joke is one too many, she decides when he sets her up on a blind date with his friend Drew—neglecting to tell his straight sister one tiny detail: her date is not a man, but a lesbian.
Annie and Drew decide it’s time to turn the tables on Jake by pretending to fall in love with each other.
At first glance, they have nothing in common. Disillusioned with love, Annie focuses on books, her cat, and her work as an accountant while Drew, more confident and outgoing, owns a dog and spends most of her time working in her beloved vineyard.
Only their common goal to take revenge on Jake unites them. But what starts as a table-turning game soon turns Annie’s and Drew’s lives upside down as the lines between pretending and reality begin to blur.
"Something in the Wine" is a story about love, friendship, and coming to terms with what it means to be yourself.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a later coming out story through the character Annie.
Annie isn't the typical romance lead found in other books. She's an awkward ugly duckling who only feels confident when it comes to her work (as an accountant). She's resigned herself to a life of loneliness and creates a buffer between herself and other people. Drew on the other hand, is an assured, sought after woman who sowed her wild oats when she was younger. With the death of her parents and taking on the family business, though, Drew is looking for a quieter, more responsible life and is done with the games she played in her college years. When she meets Annie, she's immediately attracted and the book is about their evolving friendship turned romance.
Because this book has Annie coming to terms with her own sexuality and her character is cautious by nature, you will not see her fall into bed with Drew. There is some physical intimacy in the book but you won't find explicit sex scenes (or any sex at all). I thought this made sense for her character.
For me, this was a fantastic read and I really enjoyed the dialogue and interactions between Drew and Annie. It kept my interest the whole way through. Really well done and highly recommend!
