I'd Rather Be Growing Grapes

Sabrina Kerrigan is no longer interested in love thanks to being jilted by her fiancé a week before their wedding. She'd rather spend her free time growing flowers and caring for a spindly grape arbor. Her meddling sister isn't about to let Sabrina hide from love and registers her to be a contestant in an event called Pick Me, where she and other bachelorettes will vie for one man's heart. The only reason Sabrina agrees to take part is because it's for charity. She plans to lay low and not actually try to win the bachelor's attention.

Millionaire winery owner and philanthropist Beau Reinholt, whose true identity is to remain secret during the competition, agreed to be this year's bachelor as a favor to his friend who organized the fundraiser. He has no real intention of finding love or even extreme-like with any of the contestants.

Sabrina ticks off Beau right away and it becomes game-on between them. She wants no part of him and he wants no part of her until he reads her answer to the question -- What one thing would you like the bachelor to privately know about you?
