About this ebook

She was banished

Cori’s grandfather Salvatore Messina told her she’d never be able to make it on her own as a single mother. He threatened her—tell him the name of the father so he could ruin him, or she and her child would be cut off from the family. As the field manager of Messina Vineyards, Blake would not only lose his job, but his whole career could be destroyed. Cori couldn’t do that to Blake—she still loved him. So she kept the identity of Michael’s father a secret.

But now she’s back…for good?

Almost five years later, Cori has returned to her family’s winery with her young son, Michael. Her mother is dying and Cori is determined to do whatever she can for her. But Cori’s also back for another reason: it’s time to find out if Blake will recognize—and accept—their son.

About the author

Melinda grew up on an isolated sheep ranch, where mountain lions had been seen and yet she roamed unaccompanied. Being a rather optimistic, clueless of danger, sort she took to playing "what if" games that led her to become an author. She spends days trying to figure out new ways to say "He made her heart pound." That might sound boring, but the challenge keeps her mentally ahead of her 3 kids and college sweetheart husband.
