Bitter Wine

By A. M. Caldwell

She has ninety days to save her family vineyard.
The man trying to buy it... is the one she never forgot.

After her father's death, Hadley Maren is left with more than grief-she's inherited a failing vineyard, buried in debt and weeks away from auction.

She can fix anything. Soil. Vines. Broken systems.

But not this.

Because the only person with enough money to save the land...
is Cole Ashford-the boy who left fifteen years ago and never came back.

Now he's back with an offer that could save everything.
Or take it all.

As old wounds surface and buried memories refuse to stay buried, Hadley is forced to confront the truth about her father, the vineyard, and the man standing across the deal table.

Some land holds roots deeper than ownership.
Some love doesn't stay buried.

And some things were never meant to be sold.

A slow-burn, emotionally charged story about loss, legacy, and the cost of holding on.
