Roland feels like he needs to prove himself to his father. To prove that he doesn't need to go into the family winery business to be successful. The only thing Roland hasn't been successful in is his marriage. Being a workaholic didn't work for Zoe so she left San Francisco and went back home. She was lucky enough to be taken in my Roland's family and given a job. As an event planner for the Miles' winery, Zoe is constantly in motion. When the family finds out that the winery is in trouble, they call Roland home to fix it. As a businessman, Roland has insight that the rest of his family doesn't have. The last thing he wants to do is return home, but he can't leave his family hanging.

Zoe isn't thrilled that Roland is coming home, but she's not freaked out either. She's moved on from Roland and their marriage. Zoe doesn't even consider reconciliation as a possibility. She just hopes that Roland will be on his way back to San Francisco soon. Unfortunately for Zoe, Roland finds out that his dad has been running the winery into the ground. If he doesn't do something, they will go out of business. Now the entire family has to band together to get them through the crisis that their father has put them in.

This is the second series that I have read by Claire Kingsley. She has such a gift. The characters she writes are more than loveable, they will stay with you long after you've finished the book(s). This was such a great start to this series. Roland and Zoe were made for each other, but sometimes that's not enough. They had to work at it. I love the second chance trope. Another thing I love about Claire Kinglsey is that there is very little miscommunication with her characters. That is such a refreshing change for me. Miscommunication is one of my pet peeves.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.
