The Vineyard — Karen Aldous

Will Lizzie find love amongst the fields of France?

It's been five years, and Lizzie Lambert has decided it's time to try to make things right with her estranged mother. She's made a success of things in Cannes, she's bringing up a lovely little boy on her own, and she's ready to put the past behind her.

But it seems Lizzie's mother has moved on as well. She's moved her toyboy â€" a muscle-bound vintner named Cal â€" into the family home, and given him the run of the land that was meant to be Lizzie's inheritance!

Cal's wine business frequently takes him to France, and suddenly wherever Lizzie goes, he's already there â€" meddling, giving unsolicited advice, saving her little boy's life and stealing her heart. But none of this changes the fact that he's her mother's lover…

Praise for Karen Aldous

About the author

Karen Aldous enjoys village life on the edge of the north-downs in Kent with easy access to the buzz of London. Not only does she love the passive pleasures of reading and writing but craves the more active pursuits, walking, cycling and skiing especially when they involve family, friends, food, and…wine!

Much of Karen's inspiration comes from her travels. The UK, France, Switzerland and USA are just some you'll be transported to in her books, but wherever she goes, new characters invite themselves into 'Karen's World' screaming at her to tell their stories; strong independent women who are capable of directing their own lives â€" but struggle to control them…especially when temptation strikes!

As a member of the Romantic Novelists' Association and The Write Place, Karen feels she owes so much of her success to the love and support of her fellow writers
