|summary=Pleasant chick-lit with an oddly mystical element. Would make ideal holiday reading.

"It's sometimes said that bad luck comes in threes. It certainly happens that way for Lucy, the rather hapless heroine of this book. First her boyfriend of two years announces that he wants her to move out, because - of all things - he has decided that he likes her sister Alice better. Then Lucy's car breaks down. And then, just as she seems to be dealing with her circumstances fairly well, she is knocked over by a car.
Naturally, there's a hero who comes to the rescue. Sam is an oddly likeable guy, the middle of three brothers who grew up in a severely dysfunctional family. Sam is a wine-maker; primarily a grape-grower, and lives with his older brother Mark and their orphaned niece Holly. Sam is quite a looker, and he's a sensitive guy too, his only real flaw being that he is totally commitment-phobic. Predictably, his first few meetings with Lucy are fraught with tension, despite distinct attraction on both sides. But after her accident, a new kind of relationships starts to develop.
