It was far too soon.
“I’ll be off then,” he said with as much control as he could muster. “I’d say thanks for the coffee, but …”
She gave a nervous laugh. “Yeah, I know. Thank you for coming over and checking the hot water for me.”
“No problem. If you like, I can call in tomorrow and show you how to use the espresso machine.”
“I’d like that,” she replied, following him as he went out the front door.
She stayed there on the front verandah, her hands shoved into the pockets of her jeans, watching while he executed a neat turn and headed down the drive.
A sense of anticipation stole over him. Getting to know Tamsyn Masters better was proving to be more challenging than he’d expected.
And more appealing. Far, far more appealing.

“What do you mean you quit? It’s only four and a half weeks to Christmas! We’re so busy with guests and functions that we can barely move. Look, let’s talk about it. If you’re not happy, we can work around that. Find you something else to do.”
Tamsyn sighed inwardly. Find her something else to do. Sure, that would solve how she felt right now—not. She couldn’t blame her brother, Ethan, for wanting to make things right for her. He’d done it all her life, after all. But this situation was beyond his fixing. That was why she’d needed to get away.
A holiday was something she’d been thinking about for a while. Working at The Masters, which in addition to being their family home was a vineyard and winery with luxury cottage accommodation on the outskirts of Adelaide in South Australia, hadn’t given her any satisfaction for a very long time. She’d been restless, feeling as if she didn’t really fit in anymore—at work, at home, in her family, even in her engagement.
The debacle of the night before had only proven just how right she was.
“Ethan, I can’t talk about it. I’m in New Zealand.”

Tamsyn counted slowly to ten, letting her brother continue to let off steam before replying.
“I’ve ended our engagement.”
There was the briefest of silences as her words sunk in.
“You what?” Ethan sounded as if he wasn’t certain he’d heard her correctly.
“Long story.” She swallowed against the pain that had lessened to a persistent dull throb deep in her chest.
“I have ears.”
