A sun-drenched, vintage clash of wills set among the lush vines of the French countryside.
What it feels like
Reading this vintage romance feels like stepping into a sun-drenched time capsule of the French countryside, where the air is thick with the scent of ripening grapes and simmering romantic tension. The narrative moves at a brisk, engaging pace, driven by the fiery clashes between a fiercely determined heroine and a haughty, aristocratic hero. The prose is lush and slightly formal, characteristic of classic category romance, painting vivid pictures of rustic vineyards and opulent chateaus while leaning into heightened emotional drama. It is a deeply escapist experience that explores themes of proving one's worth, class friction, and the undeniable pull of the land. This book will delight readers who love the spirited banter and sweeping, inevitable surrender of old-school enemies-to-lovers stories.

About the book
It was the answer to their dreams!
Chantal and her brother could hardly believe their luck when they inherited from their grandmother prosperous vineyards in France.
But the legacy was not lovingly given--their unknown grand"mere had disowned them long ago. Only a quirk of fate brought this gift to them.
Their arrogant neighbor, Marquis de la Roque, laughed when he learned of their plans to work the land themselves. But that was just the challenge Chantal needed to prove him wrong!
