Breathe: A Small Town Contemporary Winery Romance

Her dream-come-true might just cost him everything…

Tessa Price was supposed to take over her family’s winery in the idyllic town of Crescent Lake. But when her estranged brother returns and reclaims his place, Tessa takes a bold leap—buying struggling Sand Creek Winery, a long-time rival, and staking her claim on the region’s rich vineyards and even richer history.

To turn things around, she needs help from the one person least likely to give it—Kevin “Max” Maxwell, the brooding former owner who lost the winery to save his sister’s life. Max never would’ve sold to anyone named Price if he’d had a choice,

Now he’s stuck managing the vineyard he once loved, under the woman he’s supposed to resent.

Tessa’s determined to prove herself, but Max’s quiet intensity, sharp wit, and slow-burning charm are an unexpected distraction. And Max can’t ignore how Tessa’s strength and fire threaten to soften the walls he’s spent years building.

As the vines ripen and a fragile partnership forms, secrets buried in the soil threaten to break them apart. When a tragic accident forces them to confront what truly matters, will they risk everything for a chance at love—or let it slip through their fingers like a fine vintage uncorked too soon?

Sometimes, love—like wine—needs time to breathe.
