The Vow Season (Honey in the Wound)
She came to plan a wedding. The house had other plans.
When Soleil Devereaux accepts a six-figure contract to coordinate a high-society wedding at The Honey Estate - a crumbling antebellum mansion deep in the bayous of Lafourche Parish, Louisiana - she expects difficult clients, deferred maintenance, and sixty days of controlled chaos. What she doesn't expect is R my Beaumont.
The eldest son of the estate's iron-willed matriarch, R my is everything Soleil doesn't need: brooding, brilliant, and determined to let the house fall. While his mother Margaux fights to save the family legacy through an ambitious wedding season, R my sees only a cage - a two-hundred-year-old debt wrapped in Spanish moss and good cheekbones. He wants out. He wants Chicago. He wants a life that doesn't taste like obligation.
But Soleil Devereaux doesn't turn around. Not when the caterer quits. Not when the ballroom ceiling leaks. Not when a hurricane threatens to destroy everything she's built. And not when the man who wants the house to die starts looking at her like she's the only thing in it worth saving.
As the wedding countdown ticks toward zero, Soleil is pulled deeper into the Beaumont family's fractures - a father's mysterious death in the wine cellar, a youngest son drowning in grief and bourbon, a daughter quietly documenting the financial ruin her mother has hidden from everyone, and a matriarch who will destroy anyone who threatens her grip on the family.
Including the woman her son is falling for.
Set against the lush, suffocating beauty of the Louisiana bayou, The Vow Season is a story about the houses we inherit and the ones we choose to build. About the difference between staying and being held hostage. About love that doesn't ask you to carry it - only to hold it.
Some houses keep what they're given. This one kept her heart.
