Vows in the Vineyard

At thirty-six, Tessa is hyper-competent, fiercely protective of her vineyard, and entirely closed off after being abandoned right before her wedding. She has zero time for distractions and even less time for the ruthless corporate buyout threatening her land. Enter Mia: a twenty-six-year-old, heavily tattooed gig worker with a habit of running when things get tough. But Mia also happens to possess the exact digital marketing brilliance Tessa desperately needs to keep her business afloat.

What starts as a strict, temporary arrangement to save the vineyard quickly ignites into an intense, undeniable attraction. As exhausting days under the sun turn into highly charged, late-night encounters in the bottling room, Tessa experiences a late-in-life awakening that shatters every wall she’s built.

But as the pressure of the buyout reaches a boiling point, Mia’s instinct to run clashes with the realization that she might have finally found a home. To save the vineyard, they’ll have to risk it all—including their hearts.

Vows in the Vineyard is a steamy, high-heat standalone sapphic romance featuring a grumpy/sunshine dynamic, an age gap, a boss/employee arrangement, and plenty of praise.
