Life is a Cabernet — Jan Moran

From Jan Moran, the author of The Winemakers from St. Martin's Press, comes a riveting novella that's as rich and irresistible as a fine cabernet wine.

Napa Valley, 1956: Years ago, after Juliana Cardona's fiancé was killed in an army ambush, she didn't know if she could ever find the strength to risk love again. Now Juliana, who has a passion for winemaking, is determined to build her own business as a wine publicist and create an independent life.

But when Juliana holds a press event in San Francisco, she meets a mysterious winemaker, Henri Laurent, who is everything she never thought she'd find again. However, Juliana is shocked to discover that Henri is hiding a long-buried secret that threatens to devastate their budding relationship.

In order to find happiness and the life she'd once thought was gone forever, she must find the strength to uncover tragedies and face the troubled past with the man she loves -- but only if her heart can risk the chance of love once more.

This is a companion novella to The Winemakers, a full-length historical romance novel from St. Martin's Press.
