“What a completely engaging and heartfelt story!” Goodreads Reviewer, 5 Stars

They were best friends.
When Shelby Hawkley’s husband was alive, Gage Jamero was a best friend to both of them. Why wouldn’t he be? The three of them grew up together in Harmony Valley, a small town nestled in a northern corner of rural Sonoma County.

But things changed.
Now widowed, Shelby has moved back to her sleepy hometown to care for her grandfather and work for the small winery that’s opening. She hasn’t seen Gage in a long time. So, when he shows up, she’s expecting their friendship to pick up where it left off. Best buds, right?

Can she stand for things to change again?
Nothing is going well for Shelby. Not the wine harvest, not her grandfather’s health, and not the diminishing days until Gage is scheduled to leave for Kentucky. Maybe Shelby’s making all the wrong choices this summer, maybe she isn’t over Nick’s death, and maybe she should keep Gage in the friend zone.

Fans of friends to forever love romance and movies like P.S. I Love You and Catch and Release will love this emotional, heartwarming, clean romance with a cast of quirky town characters and a happily ever after.
