Just a Kiss Synopsis:
Three friends,
One Wine Country Villa
Six Santino Brothers
And lots of wine…
Reeling from the loss of her mother, Sarah Dupont catches her fiancé doing the nasty on top of her pastry table at their San Francisco Bakery.
Devastated, she calls her best friend, lifestyle reporter, Danica Vargas. Danica convinces Sarah to start fresh, and rent a room with her at an historic mansion in Sonoma Valley.
With two roommates who act like the sisters she never had and a feisty landlord to stand in as the grandmother she always wanted, Sarah’s opens a café on the Sonoma Plaza. Her life changes the moment the little bell on the door rings and the notoriously sexy actor Jamie Santino, swaggers in.
Jamie, one of the six Santino Brothers, of Napa Valley Winery fame, needs baking lessons for his new movie and Sarah is just the woman to teach him. Wine flows, their love affair heats up and a tempestuous femme fatale enters the scene.
How can Sarah trust that Jamie isn’t acting when everything he says seems too good to be true?
“I don’t know how I’m going to do this,” Sarah said before
taking a big gulp of Honig Sauvignon Blanc. All four women were well into hour
two of Chill Hour.
“You know it’s very unbecoming for a lady to slug her
wine. It’s not a shot glass,” Danica
said. “And who’s the drama queen now? There’s nothing for you to do. Open the
door, let him in, and put him to work. He’ll be gone in fourteen days. I don’t
see how he’ll change your routine in any way.”
“You don’t know,” Sarah said. “You weren’t there. You can't
just sneak Jamie Santino into anywhere, and think people wouldn’t notice. It’s
crazy town when he’s there. Insane.”
“Did you have to spend a lot of time training him?” said her
landlord, Lulu Castelli, scooting her chair closer to the conversation.
“No, I barely talked to him,” Sarah said. “He's very
distracting, let's put it that way.”
“You’re just not used to anything exciting.” Danica crossed
her legs and settled back in her chair. “You’re probably nervous because he’s
changing your routine, and he’s so frickin’ gorgeous. I almost lost it the
first time I met him, and you know how crazy I am about Michael, so that’s
saying something. You’re not used to being around guys.”
“Lots of guys come into the Vine Café every day, and I
actually employ men,” Sarah said.
Juliet pursed her lips. "Manny and The Egg Man don’t
count.”
“You haven’t taken a day off since you moved here, honey,”
Lulu said. “Maybe you should go out and roll around with something besides
dough.”
“Ha! Good one, Lulu!” Juliet raised her glass.
The four women took sips, relaxing in silence.
“He has that thing celebrities have,” Juliet said. “It’s
what makes them so successful. Try not to get too rattled. Remember, he’s just
a person.”
Sarah put her glass down. “I’m not star struck. I’m just not
prepared to have that kind of person, waltzing into my business, ruining
everything."
Danica and Lulu looked at each other. “Ever since you moved
to Sonoma, you’ve been using your bakery as a hideout,” Danica said. “You’ve
always been shy, but it’s getting ridiculous.”
Lulu reached over and patted Sarah's knee. "It's just a
little change, honey. It might do you
good."
