In Bed With A Stranger
An Imperfect Match Brodick McJames is an earl in name only. To secure his clan's future he needs an English wife. Mary Stanford, daughter of the Earl of Warwickshire, will suit perfectly. He's never met her, but what matter? She'll grace his bed eventually, and once she bears his child he need see her no more. Anne Copper looks just like her noble half-sister, but she was born illegitimate, and can never forget it. The best she can hope for is to stay a serving girl in her own father's house.

Satrapezo Saperavi
Cellar for up to 30 years. Decant for up to an hour before serving. From a wine cellar outside the city of Telavi in the historic Kakheti region, Marani have spent over a century providing the world with Georgian wines of the highest quality. The company strikes a fine balance between innovative techniques and time-honoured Kakheti traditions, with their diverse range of award-winning vintages. The Saperavi grapes for this wine are sourced from Marani’s largest vineyard in Kondoli, where they grow on a loamy, loose soil atop a limestone bedrock. They are plucked and de-stemmed by hand, before being buried under the earthen floor of Telavi Wine Cellar in large Qvevries. This skin-contact method of fermentation produces intensely aromatic wines, and in the case of the Saperavi grape, a stunningly dark and inky colour. Sophisticated aromas of blue forest berries, vanilla, and spice marry effortlessly in this savoury red. Blackberry and smooth oaky tannins envelop the mouth at the beginning, followed by refreshing cassis and notes of black licorice. The mouthfeel is a treat, round, silky and full-bodied. Drink this powerful Saperavi now, or let it age for decades further. It is worthy of enjoying alone, but it pairs well with traditional Georgian food, dense meats, or hard cheeses.
