Crushed

A Sapphic Enemies-to-Lovers Romance
by Aurora North

She’s the grumpy winemaker who’s losing everything. She’s the corporate heiress who just moved in next door. When the creek between their vineyards runs dry, the feud that starts will burn down every wall they’ve built — including the ones around their hearts.

Sera Moretti hasn’t asked anyone for help since the day her father drove away when she was six. She runs Moretti Vineyards alone — thirty acres of her dead mother’s Sangiovese, a mountain of debt, and a stubbornness that the whole valley has learned not to argue with. She doesn’t need a neighbor. She especially doesn’t need the blonde, clipboard-wielding, cashmere-wearing corporate princess who just opened a glass-walled winery on the other side of the stone wall and diverted her water.

Margot Ashford has spent her entire life performing for a father who will never say “enough.” Ashford Sycamore Winery is her test — prove she can build something exceptional, earn the approval she’s been chasing since her mother died. She has the funding, the technology, the data. What she doesn’t have is the approval of the terrifying woman next door, whose Sangiovese is the best wine she’s ever tasted and whose fury at the farmer’s market makes Margot feel more alive than anything in her perfectly optimized life.

The feud is spectacular. The town takes sides. The farmer’s market becomes a war zone. And the electricity between them is building toward a collision that neither of them can stop.

Crushed is a 155,000-word high-heat sapphic romance with enemies-to-lovers, a grumpy winemaker, a sunshine heiress, eight explicit scenes that escalate from hate-sex to love, and a guaranteed HEA.
