Single mum Grace has no plans – and no spare time – to fall in love again. Until she moves to her ex-husband's secret vineyard ... Grace Middleton knew that her ex-husband Jake was a lying, cheating, wife-abandoning bastard. What she didn’t know – until his untimely death – was that he was also the owner of a secret vineyard in the heart of the Margaret River wine region. And, much to the chagrin of his new wife, he’s left the property to Grace's three young sons. With the intention of putting it up for sale, Grace takes the boys to view Gum Leaf Grove. And immediately finds herself embroiled in mysteries from Jake's past and becomes the accidental target of the resident ‘ghost’. Nowadays Grace believes in love even less than she believes in ghosts. So no-one is more surprised than her when she finds herself caught between two very different men – with secrets of their own ...

For her bestselling novels The Girl in Steel - Capped Boots and The Girl in the Hard Hat, Loretta Hill drew upon her own outback engineering experiences of larrikins, red dust and steel - capped boots. Her new novel, The Girl in the Yellow Vest, will publish in January 2014. She is also the author of the ebook novella One Little White Lie, which was a no.1 bestseller on iTunes. Loretta always wanted to be a writer. As a kid she filled pages of exercise books with stories to amuse her friends. Her father, who never wasted his time on fiction, didn't see much worth in this pass time and pushed her to pursue a 'sensible' career. Fortunately, she had inherited some of his talent for numbers and decided to give it a go. She graduated from the University of Western Australia as structural engineer and took her first job with a major West Australian engineering company. A few years later she met a lawyer at a Black Friday party hosted by a friend. She was dressed as the devil and he just came as himself. They are now happily married and living in Perth with their two young sons and infant daughter. Despite her career in engineering, her interest in law and her journey into motherhood, Loretta continued to write. Not because she had a lot of time but because it was and always had been an addiction she couldn't ignore.
