About this ebook

From USA Today bestselling author Jan Moran comes a riveting novella that’s as rich and irresistible as a fine cabernet wine.

Napa Valley, 1956: Years ago, after Juliana Cardona’s fiancé was killed in an army ambush, she didn’t know if she could ever find the strength to risk love again. Now Juliana, who has a passion for winemaking, is determined to build her own business as a wine publicist and create an independent life.

But when Juliana holds a press event in San Francisco, she meets a mysterious winemaker, Henri Laurent, who is everything she never thought she’d find again. However, Juliana is shocked to discover that Henri is hiding a long-buried secret that threatens to devastate their budding relationship.

In order to find happiness and the life she’d once thought was gone forever, she must find the strength to uncover tragedies and face the troubled past with the man she loves—but only if her heart can risk the chance of love once more.

This is a companion novella to The Winemakers, a full-length historical saga that has been called "a solid pick for fans of romantic sagas" by Library Journal.

Juliana wears her heart on her sleeve and tells you like it is while Henri keeps this close to his chest and doesn't like to talk of his past however they are both drawn to each other and we see that attraction grow, however Henri's closeness could jeopardize a beautiful friendship and relationship. I totally agreed with Anne and Beatrice on what should happen so kept my fingers crossed their letter to Juliana came to fruition! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Super Sweet Story! The writing draws you in and keeps you involved throughout the whole story, I found myself in love with not only the characters but also the world that was created. The descriptions of the characters and their feelings are so involved, you can truly picture it in your mind. This review has been voluntarily submitted for your consideration.
