Avery Marquez builds spirits brands like other people breathe—effortlessly, brilliantly, and with a little bit of fire. She's the marketing world's secret weapon: sharp-tongued, stunning, and absolutely allergic to roots. Nothing and no one has ever convinced her to stay.
Then her company assigns her to a new collaboration: a wine-finished bourbon with Thorn Ridge Vineyards to put it back on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail map.
A partnership.
A passion project.
And a vineyard owner who looks at her like she's both a disaster and a miracle.
Logan Thorn inherited a legacy he never asked for and refuses to compromise. Thorn Ridge is his family's soul, and he's determined to protect it—especially from corporate suits with big ideas and even bigger egos.
But he's hiding a secret about the vineyard's future—one that could shatter everything they're building.
In wine country, love takes time.
With them?
It might take everything.
