Marisa Castilla’s life is in need of a rewrite. Her ex-boyfriend/boss just fired her, the guest room she’s occupying is about to be taken over by a newborn, and she’s drowning in student loan debt. Swallowing her pride, she reaches out to her estranged father and makes the temporary move to Red Mountain, leaving behind her beloved city and corporate ambitions. Transitioning to being a lowly reporter for her father’s small town newspaper is a culture shock, and constantly bumping into Ethan Ledger, her less-than-friendly neighbor, who also happens to own the vineyard cottage she’s staying in, doesn’t make things easier. Ethan Ledger recently assumed the role of CEO of his family’s wine empire. An anxious over-thinker, he wears a grumpy facade like armor. Still adjusting to running the family business, he can’t afford any distractions, especially not the beautiful one next door. He only has two rules for his new neighbor/tenant: no visitors and no expectations of friendship. But when Marisa breaks through his tough exterior, friendship soon blooms into late-night texts and telenovela marathons. Feelings develop and lines blur, and Ethan is prepared to break every rule he’s ever had for Marisa. However, an enticing offer for her dream job back in the city clashes with Ethan’s roots in Red Mountain. Sparks fly and wine flows between the most unlikely pairing, but sometimes the rarest blends are the most satisfying.
