Description

About the book

She built her vineyard on control. The sommelier she hired to save it has other plans.

Natalie Rousseau is forty, divorced, and ninety days away from losing the vineyard her family built over three generations.

Sloane Vega is thirty-four, a gifted sommelier with exactly the reputation Natalie does not want to need—especially after Sloane publicly eviscerated her last release.

Sloane arrives, takes one look at the wine program, and starts rebuilding it from the ground up.

Then she starts looking at Natalie.

Wine tastings become sensory lessons. Professional trust becomes attraction. Natalie’s first sapphic awakening unfolds against a real business deadline, family pressure, and the growing certainty that Sloane may be the first person to see both the vineyard and the woman running it clearly.

They have ninety days to save the business. They make it forty before everything else starts falling apart.
