★★★★★ "I didn't know friends-to-lovers could be like this. Over a Barrel was SUCH a special book."

★★★★★"Freaking loved it! It's hilarious and hot!"

Bax took his best friend, Tabi's, hand when he was five years old and has never let go. But it's getting harder to stay just friends. The story takes place over 30 years and the events of one night—two lifelong friends who can't stop crossing the line. But need to learn, or they'll lose everything, including each other.

It's a friends to lovers, opposites attract story about the steamy and stormy history between US Senate Candidate Baxter Schroeder and bold, brash Sonoma vintner, Tabitha Aganos. Best friends who think they can ignore fate.

Tabitha
In 24 freaking hours, I ended up catfighting, homeless, arrested for peeing on a duck, and my boob popped out à la Janet Jackson style during a formal event. This further proves to my father why he was right in denying me more responsibility at our family winery. And then good ole, sexy as hell Bax, figures out a way for me to adult. My best friend once again catches me as I free-fall. Work for him to prove I'm responsible and can be trusted. If anyone can help me "grow up" in my father's eyes, it's the most adult person I know.
Bax & I have steered clear of spending time together since he decided to run for Senate and become engaged because we mostly end up naked when left to our own devices. But this is a grown-up job I don't want to risk losing. I don't want to let down the only person who has always believed in me. I can keep the secret of our history tucked away, just like I can tuck my boob back in my bra and get on with not being in love with Baxter Schroeder.

The Stafýlia Cellars duet is a spinoff and features characters who originated in the LaChappelle/Whittier Vineyards trilogy.
