When an acquaintance (whom she didn't even like) leaves her wine vineyards to Jamie, no one could be more shocked than Jamie herself--except perhaps the old lady's family, who are less than pleased to have the family business yanked out from under them. Jamie has a quandary. As a tee-totaling Mormon good girl, she can't own a wine business. But she feels an obligation to honor the old lady's wish that she have it. Meanwhile, the old lady's grandson is determined to persuade, bribe, sweet-talk or whatever it takes to get the vineyards back from Jamie. As he gets to know Jamie and her church, however, he begins to think they're not the enemy after all...

This is a very sweet romance and conversion story, one I've read several times. And it's not totally inaccessible to non-Mormons, due to the grandson's outsider perspective. Highly recommended.
