Will the French countryside—and Henri’s estranged family—survive forty-eight hours of Phil Greco?
Henri Gaudion has been hiding an upcoming family event in Paris from his boyfriend, Phil Greco, and he has just discovered it. Phil is thrilled to take a long weekend to fly to France, where he can finally meet the other Gaudion family members. After all, he has a few words for the people who have been so distant from the man he loves. Not bad words, per se, just honest words. Nothing wrong with a little honesty, right?
With no out in sight, and the possibility of mending some fences, Henri gives in to Greck’s way of thinking. Surely a sign of true love if ever there was one. Leaving the States behind, the vintner, the gabby hockey player, and Barnaby—Henri’s faithful seneschal—are in the air and on the way to the French countryside to spend two days among the elite of the French winemaking world. All will be well is Henri’s silent prayer as the threesome cross the Atlantic for the nuptials. An affair that promises to be unlike any other Henri has ever experienced.
*Author Note—If you’ve not read the Watkins Glen Gladiators books, it is strongly suggested that you do before diving into this novella. While you can surely read this as a standalone, you’ll get far more enjoyment from it if you read the series—and Greck and Henri’s book Taking the Body in particular—for a wider and more in-depth understanding of Phil, Henri, and our beloved and ever faithful Barnaby. ~ V.L. *
