Selena Contreras has always been the girl who holds everything together. But now, she's daring to dream of something more.

In the quaint coastal town of Superiore Bay, tradition runs deep—and so do family rivalries. For generations, the Contrerases and the Ashfords have been at odds, their feud as much a part of the town as the rocky shoreline. But Selena is tired of scraping by at her family's orchard, pouring every ounce of herself into a legacy that's slipping through her fingers.

With a plan to transform Orchard Hill into a thriving destination—complete with cider tastings, a cozy café, and homemade pies—Selena sets her sights on a nearby parcel of land. There's just one problem: it belongs to the Ashfords.

Conner Ashford is everything she's supposed to avoid—wealthy, polished, and frustratingly unshakable. But as their paths collide, long-held assumptions begin to crumble, and Selena discovers unexpected kindness beneath his sharp edges.

As small-town gossip stirs and family pressure builds, Selena must decide if she's brave enough to fight for her vision of the future—even if it means forging her own path, and letting her heart lead the way.

The Winemaker is a warm, uplifting romantic women's fiction story about family, ambition, and finding joy where you least expect it.
