Rather than meet her unwanted new guardian as instructed, she attends a ball and comes kiss-to-kiss with an adorably befuddled handsome lord instead. But the grumpy, sexy stranger turns out to be the new guardian, hell-bent on marrying her to someone else!

Titus Noble, the Earl of Gilbourne, is an emotionless, rigid automaton who lives for predictability and order.

The only solution is to marry the chit to the first fool willing take the hoyden off the earl’s hands. That is, if Titus can keep his hands off his maddening, kissable ward…

A vineyard, a vendetta, and a very dead vintner. Welcome to Vista del Vino, where the wine is bold, the gossip flows faster than the Cabernet, and murder has just been uncorked.

Casey Nolan thought she was leaving the drama behind when she moved back to her hometown with her teenage son, Liam, and his loyal diabetic alert dog, Ranger. A fresh start, some much-needed family time, and maybe even a chance to finally catch her breath after a rough divorce. But when a local winemaker turns up dead, Casey’s investigative instincts kick in faster than you can say Malbec.

Determined to get to the bottom of the mystery (and keep her friends out of the suspect pool), Casey starts digging—only to find that old secrets have deep roots, and some people would kill to keep them buried. Between juggling single motherhood, Liam’s Type 1 diabetes and celiac disease, and the town’s ever-watchful eyes, Casey has her hands full. But with a little help from her friends—and a few well-timed glasses of wine—she just might crack the case.

She isn’t sure she can work around him, but then her tiny Pomeranian Mistletoe refuses to leave Cody’s service dog, a gorgeous Golden Retriever named Tyrus.
