Wanted: one master winemaker
Indigo Blue is starting over, again. Following the death of her husband, she’s rebuilding her life around her only inheritance—a California winery. There’s just one problem: she doesn’t know a thing about wine. Enter brooding vintner Danovan DiCarlo.
Eager to put his own painful past behind him, Danovan is the perfect partner. And not just in business. As they work side by side, Indigo can feel more than the vineyard coming back to life. Falling for Danovan is a scary prospect. But how do you say no when you find love twice in a blue moon?
“What’s wrong, Danovan?” She sounded as confused as he felt. “Is it me?”
“It’s not you. Us working together and...being together messes with my head sometimes.” He ran a hand through his hair.
Mixing business and pleasure had destroyed his last life.
“Look, I want you,” he said. “But I’ve also asked you to put a lot of faith in me with the winery. I don’t ever want you to think that I used this—” he waved a hand, indicating them both “—used us, to influence your decision.”
She tilted her head. “I can’t decide if you’re sweet or the most egotistical man I’ve ever met.”
Yeah, join the club. He had never felt so conflicted and unsure of himself. “You are in my blood, Indigo Blue.”
He ran a finger down her throat, to where the first button of her blouse halted his progress.
Since Widow’s Grove is surrounded by wineries, one of the books in the series just had to take place on one, right? Except the only thing I know for sure about wine is how to consume it! I enjoyed the research for Indigo’s story and hope you enjoy visiting The Tippling Widow.
If you’re ever in the area, stop by and sample the cabernet—it’s fabulous.
Oh, and watch for the cameo appearances of the characters from the first two books in the series!
The next book? I had readers ask what happened to Bear, the big scary guy from The Reasons to Stay, so the next in the series will be his story.
Stay tuned, ideas are still growing...

To my Alpha Dog, who, no matter how fast I pedal, is waving from the top of the next hill, cheering me on.
And telling me to hurry up.
Thanks for always waiting, Babe.
I’m not much different than Indigo; I may know a cab from a zin, but not much more.
A huge thanks to Jeff Wiens of Wiens Family Cellars, who offered to answer this author’s every ignorant question...and even helped on plot points! His family winery in Temecula, California, was my template for The Tippling Widow.
If you’re ever in the area, check out their wonderful wines! Tell Jeff I said, “Hey.”
