In the battle between wine and water, two controlling hearts clash, and with a witch involved, the results can be poisonous. Marguerite Devereaux crafts wines that are exceptional, nothing short of perfection. But the girl tribe counsels caution, saying that little in life is truly flawless. She knows best though. Doing things her way guarantees success. When facts don’t agree, lashing out is the only way to protect her ego. Is it also enough to guard her heart against her growing attraction to a man she vows to fight? Deke Kermarrec strives to honor the seven generations who have worked his land, even if he is the last in the family who cares. Nurturing high quality animals and protecting the ranch legacy are his life, one that’s threatened by a relative newcomer with little respect for science as well as sustainability. Convincing her he’s right requires more than waving facts in her face – or taking her to bed. Trouble flows downhill, and Marguerite and Deke face a treacherous crisis threatening more than their jobs. With so much at risk, can they blend their passion for each other into a solution to their problems? Perhaps the witch has answers to all of their questions. The Flynn’s Crossing series is contemporary romance set in the northern California foothills, suspense driven by small town secrets, and complex characters in compelling stories about friendship and love.

Destiny-bound by totems and love. Tess Willowspring, owner of Buds and Blooms, knows that leading the Flynn’s Crossing building committee isn’t such a high honor. The role leaves her less time to create gorgeous floral arrangements, tend her garden, and enjoy her friends. Life gets complicated when construction to develop a vacant lot meets with disturbing resistance from long-dead spirits – and only Tess can hear them. When Powers Ashland wins the honor of developing that mysterious Main Street property, he’s not sure what threatens him more, the strange discovery on the site bringing work to a halt, or his unwilling attraction to Tess. Powers doesn’t feel he’s relationship material. He’s better off expanding his construction company and rebuilding a bond with his brother. Advice from the girl tribe and wolf pack aside, neither Tess nor Powers can keep their feelings from growing faster than the roses in her garden. And digging in deep where emotions are concerned scares both of them – to death. Do the totems they’ve chosen mean they’re predestined for each other?
