Recently named executive chef at one of Miami Beach's hottest restaurants, Jaden Thorne is determined to make her culinary mark and fulfill her professional dreams. When Jaden is given highly coveted tickets to the ultra-exclusive Winemaker's Dinner, she jumps at the opportunity to meet South Florida's wealthiest and most influential food and wine enthusiasts. Jaden's eyes are drawn to the VIP section even before the appetizers appear, but she soon finds herself thinking less about networking and more about the intriguingly sexy stranger eying her from across the room. After dinner, what begins as a lighthearted flirtation unexpectedly catapults into a night of explosive passion. But when morning dawns, Jaden leaves her sleeping Mr. Oh So Sexy behind, sure they'll never see each other again. Dr. Ivan Rusilko, a handsome, young physician, boasts an extensive resume' and a well-established position on Miami Beach's social scene. But despite his success and glamor, he's routinely had to suffer uninspiring dates and doomed relationships. With a romantic heart, Ivan's not the "love-'em-and-leave-'em" type. But when he awakens to find that the girl in the red dress has done exactly that, he resolves to find her--only if it's just to ask why she left without even a kiss goodbye. The Winemaker's Dinner is a fictionalized erotic memoir inspired by the romantic triumphs and tragedies of Dr. Ivan Rusilko's real life.

The Winemaker's Dinner: Amuse Bouche

Meet Dr. Ivan Rusilko: He's a doctor at a world-class medical facility in Miami, he's got a killer apartment on Miami Beach that overlooks Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline, and he's got a great group of friends and quite the social schedule. It's a pretty damned charmed life, but something's missing. He'd love a special someone to share it with--someone to laugh with, share his dreams with, and someone to just plain tickle his fancy. After a string of utterly forgettable blind dates and with no real prospects on the horizon, it's time to take action. On the long drive from Miami Beach to Sarasota, Florida, for the annual Winemaker's Dinner, Ivan makes a decision. He's taking charge of his love life--and his fate. RSVP is a short-story prequel to the highly anticipated erotic romance The Winemaker's Dinner: Appetizers by co-authors Dr. Ivan Rusilko and Everly Drummond. RSVP is an introduction to the romantic hero and real-life author Dr. Ivan Rusilko, and it marks the good doctor's solo writing debut.

The Winemaker's Dinner: RSVP

Left on bended knee, with nothing but a ring in his hand and a gaping hole in his chest, Ivan Rusilko lost everything when Jaden Thorne said, "I can't." Now, six months later and despite her endless attempts to reach him, finding forgiveness for Jaden's indiscretion is last on his list of things to do. Dr. Ivan is married to his career now, and his professional success is taking him places he's never been before. But even the glow of accomplishment can't heal his devastated heart. Determined to recover, to move forward at any cost, he now finds moments of respite in distractions that leave him emotionally bankrupt. He's empty, a shadow of his former vibrant, life-loving self. On the outside, he may seem to be the man he always was. But inside, a terrible desire threatens to rip him apart and ruin him forever. Meanwhile Jaden is haunted by the memory of the moment she saw the light wither and die in Ivan's eyes. She knows it died at her hand. After months of trying to explain herself, of begging for mercy, she takes herself back to Miami, back into Ivan's path, for one last chance at redemption. Can she entice him back into her arms? Convince him to give her a second chance? She's determined to do whatever it takes to find forgiveness-even if all that's left is forgiving herself. In this final book of The Winemaker's Feast Trilogy, The Winemaker's Dinner: Dessert, author Dr. Ivan Rusilko is writing solo, drawing freely on his own life and love experiences to craft a heartbreaking and wildly erotic tale about lost hope, desperation, contrition, and-if it's possible-the quest for a perfect ending to a real-life love story. True to its title, Dessert serves readers an indulgent, decadent last course, rich with twists, turns, and tantalizing truths. Love is beautiful, guys like this really do exist, and the power of real romance is something we can all believe in.
