Jacob Jacobs stepped up to run the family winery after his parents were killed. It’s not just any old winery, Jacob’s Estate is one of biggest brands in the industry. These days he’s a respected winemaker, successful CEO, and Napa’s most eligible bachelor. He’s lived up to all three of those titles, too - especially that last one. He’s used to being pursued by beautiful women – and he enjoys their company. At least, he used to. Maybe it’s because he has a landmark birthday coming up, but lately he’s grown tired of the life he’s been living. He can have all the company he wants. But what he really wants is the company of family. He’s thrilled that his sister has come home to live on the estate. With the help of his new niece, Ava, he’s discovering how much fun family life can be. Becca Taylor followed her boyfriend to Napa. She was lucky to land a job as a third-grade teacher and was eager to start a new life. Just a few months later, she’s alone in a new town, with no boyfriend, no friends – and not much of a life. She stayed because she made a commitment to the children she works with, but when the school year is over, she’ll have to head home to Kansas and admit that her parents were right. She’s making the most of her life in Napa while she’s there, though. She’s been forcing herself to go out and do things. She made a deal with herself that she’d accept any invitation that was offered to her. It might not be much fun by herself, but it beats sitting at home alone. When one of her favorite pupils, Ava, invites her to a Christmas tree lighting event at the Jacob’s estate, Becca has no idea that her life is about to get turned on its head. She doesn’t know much about wine, and even less about winemakers – but Ava’s Uncle Jacob has her eager to learn more.

Xander Jacobs, former military man with a heart of gold, has had a soft spot for the vivacious and talented Tori DuPont for as long as he can remember. They’ve known each other since they were kids growing up in Napa. They might come from big name wine families, and be considered ‘wine-country royalty’, but neither of them was comfortable in that world. Even though they’ve barely seen each other in decades, Xander made it his mission to keep Tori safe when danger crept into her world. And when her life in Nashville dissolves around her, he’s determined to stay by her side for whatever comes next – even if neither of them know what that might be. A visit to Tori's mom in the charming town of Summer Lake opens up new possibilities – and offers an opportunity that might suit them both. Tori can be unsure of herself at times, but she’s always had a heart full of dreams, and she’s always known that she can count on Xander to have her back. She’ll just have to hope that he’ll have her back when she reclaims her childhood dreams. She used to dream about having her own wine bar – and she used to dream about being loved by Xander Jacobs. As they find their feet in Summer Lake, every sunlit moment and moonlit dance brings them closer, and the laughter they share becomes the soundtrack to their blossoming future.

Despite their undeniable attraction, Emma is too scared to risk her heart, especially on a man so much like her ex - sexy, smart, funny, successful and no doubt the same kind of cheat! When events lead them both to Summer Lake for the summer, will Jack be able to persuade her that he's nothing like her ex in all the ways that really matter?

Book Eight in the MacFarland Ranch series, The Cowboy’s Unshakeable Love, is Travis and Retta’s love story. Travis left Montana years ago, along with Cash and Mav MacFarland and a bunch of their friends. After serving in the Navy together, he stuck with Cash and Mav when they set up their own private security company. His last few visits back to Paradise Valley have made him wonder if it’s time to come home. He’s the life-and-soul-of-the-party kind of guy and ever since he first met Retta, he can’t help but think that he might be ready to turn his life into a private party for two. Retta Rayne lives with a lot of regrets. She couldn’t be prouder of her daughter, Callie, but she wishes that she’d been able to give her a better childhood. As far as Retta’s concerned, Callie’s successful in spite of her – even though Callie says it’s because of her. All that matters is that Callie’s built a great life. Yes, she’s made a name for herself as one of country music’s biggest names, but more importantly, she’s found a good man in Kolby MacFarland. He’s made her part of his family and given her the kind of love Retta always wanted for her. Although Retta’s happy that her daughter’s found love, she’s under no illusions that she might do the same – she gave up on that idea years ago. Sure, Travis Duke – one of Kolby’s brother’s friends - is charming, and sexy, and funny and … everything she ever used to want in a man. But her days of wanting a man are in the past. She had her chances, and she messed them up. Now that her daughter is happy and settled, Retta’s content to live out a quiet little life alone. Travis has other ideas for her, though, and there is nothing quiet - or little - about that man!
