Coming Home to Stay

By Rowan Hale

Some things are worth coming back for.

Cora Beaumont left Maple Falls at eighteen with a scholarship and a promise she would never return. Eleven years later she is driving 2,800 miles in the wrong direction, back toward the one place she swore she was done with. Her company is gone. Her name is a headline. The only thing she has left is a last name that still means something in the town she walked away from.

Then she sees the sign staked at the end of the driveway. FOR SALE. Her father is selling the family vineyard, the twelve acres her mother planted by hand, and he never said a word.

Liam Calloway says he is an independent wine consultant. He is not. He works for the corporation circling her father's land, and every question he asks is going into a report. He should file it and go. Instead he keeps finding reasons to stay. He keeps noticing the way she reads the soil like her mother taught her. He keeps protecting the very things his job is to put a price on.

Cora has one plan to save the vineyard and thirty days to make it work. She does not have room to fall for the man standing between her and the only home she has left.

But the vineyard is dying. Her father is hiding something far worse than a sale. And the truth about Liam is going to cost her everything, unless she is brave enough to let someone stay. A slow-burn, small-town vineyard romance about grief, second chances, and the courage it takes to come home. Pour a glass of red and settle in.
