Resumen del Editor
"A gorgeous, sweetly forbidden romance! As lush and delicious as the wines!" Tracy Sumner, USA Today bestselling author
A woman desperate to save her vineyards...
Julia Costa is a gifted winemaker. After her late husband burdened her lands with debt, she vows to defend her legacy by any means necessary.
The Englishman sent to uncover her secrets...
The last thing Griffin Maxwell wants is to waste time mired in a Portuguese backwater village. Still, to guarantee a lucrative partnership, he agrees to chase the reluctant debtor.
A meeting of two cultures...
Nothing prepared Griffin for the headstrong winemaker. She tempts him to enjoy Portugal's vibrant tastes and threatens his carefully constructed plans. The arrogant Englishman arrived at Julia's lands believing himself entitled to everything, including her heart. But how can she resist an attraction headier than a vintage?
An enemy too powerful to fight alone...
When a mysterious plague decimates Europe's vineyards, Griffin and Julia struggle to find a cure. They must compromise to face this new threat... or lose everything. Will they allow cultural differences to separate them, or will they fight for the love of a lifetime?
If you love enemies-to-lovers novels and enjoy traveling to breathtaking places, this historical romance will capture your heart. The True Purpose of Vines received the Highly Recommended Award of Excellence from The Historical Fiction Company, won a Literary Titan Book Award, and was voted best historical romance of the year by The Chick Lit Café.

Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint. One little solar flare happens and suddenly you find yourself 85 years in the future. Eighty-five years from your dream job. Your ailing mother whose only companion in this world is you. Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights. But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled.
