Love in the Vines by Ariadne Oliver

Willow Creek Winery is fading fast... and Ethan Blake is out of options.
Buried beneath debt and weighed down by the legacy of his late father, Ethan's once-thriving vineyard now lies dormant, as lifeless as his hope. With only a thread of faith and the ghost of a dream, he makes a desperate call—to Grace Taylor, a bold and brilliant marketing expert whose faith is as strong as her creativity.

Grace Taylor wasn't looking for a second chance—especially not in a small-town vineyard buried under snow.
But something about Ethan's voice, and the quiet ache beneath it, draws her in. What begins as a business proposal becomes something far more personal as they work side by side to revive the winery. Laughter echoes in the tasting room, late-night brainstorms give way to lingering gazes, and each shared glass of wine deepens a connection neither expected.

Yet as new growth appears on the vines, so do old fears.
Grace is haunted by past failures. Ethan is afraid to trust again. And when doubts creep in and failure looms larger than ever, both must decide: will they cling to what's safe—or risk everything for a love that could bloom eternal?

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of a snow-kissed vineyard, Love in the Vines is a heartwarming Christian romance about second chances, divine appointments, and the kind of faith that transforms frost into harvest.
