Bad Vintage

He thought he was destroying my legacy. He forgot I know where the bodies—and the barrels—are buried.

At thirty-nine, Amy Castle is perfectly content getting her hands dirty in her family's third-generation wine cellar. Her flashy, status-obsessed husband, Bradley, thinks she needs to "clean up" and lose weight to play the part of a wealthy vineyard owner. But when a cellar alarm pings her phone at 2 a.m., Amy discovers Bradley isn't just playing around with her best friend—he's actively sabotaging her flagship vintage for a multi-million-dollar insurance payout.

Most women would scream. Some would immediately file for divorce.

Amy? She decides to smile, play the oblivious, failing winemaker to his face, and quietly engineer the most devastating revenge the valley has ever seen.

To legally prove the sabotage and pull off her long con, she needs an undeniable palate to verify the tainted wine. Enter Barry Castle: master vintner, competition judge, and Bradley’s estranged, silver-fox older brother. Barry is everything his brother isn't—rugged, fiercely principled, and the one man who has always seen Amy's true worth exactly as she is.

As they build a forensic trap to spring at the valley's biggest harvest festival, their strictly business alliance ferments into a scorching, undeniable attraction. Bradley is about to learn that in the business of wine, the best thing served cold isn't the Chardonnay.

Bad Vintage is a deliciously satisfying women's fiction novel about reclaiming your power. Perfect for readers looking for a swoon-worthy, later-in-life romance wrapped in a soapy, high-stakes revenge plot.

Features: Cheating husband, closed doors love scenes, wife gets revenge.
