The True Purpose of Vines (Winemakers #1)

Julia Costa is a gifted winemaker. After her late husband burdened her lands with debt, she vows to defend her legacy by any means necessary. The last thing Griffin Maxwell wants is to waste time mired in a Portuguese backwater village. Still, to guarantee a lucrative partnership, he agrees to chase the reluctant debtor. Nothing prepared Griffin for the headstrong winemaker. She tempts him to enjoy Portugal's vibrant tastes and threatens his carefully constructed plans. The arrogant Englishman arrived at Julia's lands believing himself entitled to everything, including her heart. But how can she resist an attraction headier than a vintage? When a mysterious plague decimates Europe's vineyards, Griffin and Julia struggle to find a cure. They must compromise to face this new threat... or lose everything. Will they allow cultural differences to separate them, or will they fight for the love of a lifetime?
