Pinot Noir introduces you to the real magic of wine country and Miles Ward, Napa Valley's top - and only - consulting aptropaist¿

"If you're hex-ed, I can vex-it."

Miles may not be great with catchphrases, but he's world-class at breaking and preventing curses. When he takes yet another gig magically protecting a winery, he's expecting a routine job. What he finds is a curse so complex and intricate, it could only be the work of a very powerful magician. The smart thing would be to walk away.

But no one has ever accused him of doing the smart thing. Reminded of dark and shameful secrets from his own past, Miles can't walk away. Even if getting in deeper means that suddenly it's his own life on the line.

Now he's got to escape entanglement with a seductive vampire sorceress, an order of gun-toting monster hunters, an intricate assassination plot, and a dragon's ancient prophecy. If he fails, a conspiracy threatens to make his town a haven for maniacs and monsters. And he's definitely not going to make his first date in a decade.

To save Napa, Miles must uncover the truth in a vast network of lies, including, hardest of all, the ones he tells himself.
