Now, though, Jake is not only the grumpy foreman handling the renovation for her new catering business, but also the guy she outbid for the building…and her neighbor! With both their reputations and futures on the line, every decision ends in a standoff. Can Maddie and Jake set aside the barbs—and electric chemistry—to get the job done?

MAINSTREAM FICTION
Since their fast friendship as teenagers over 30 years ago, Louisiana natives Remi Landry and Bianca Fuentes Perez have seen each other through the best and worst of times. Now, as Remi grieves the sudden death of her beloved husband of 25 years, and Bianca struggles with the fallout of a divorce she didn’t see coming, the women are amid their greatest challenges yet. Remi and Gerard spent their honeymoon and summers in Napa and on the Sonoma Coast. Their love of wine led them to buy a Victorian home in Wine Country—and then a winery on the site of an age-old vineyard. They spoke endlessly about retiring to run their winery. But with Gerard gone, Remi must sort through his things and reevaluate their assets, and her future.
