Uncorked & Undone

She controls everything. The vineyard. Her heart. Her color-coded spreadsheets. She did NOT ask for a chaos agent with an accent.

Valentina Torres has run her vineyard with iron will and meticulous spreadsheets since her husband died twenty-three years ago. She doesn't date. She doesn't lose control. She definitely doesn't believe in magic—no matter what her vines keep doing when she's angry. Then Ronan Burke arrives three days early, with a dog who howls at dirt, a smile that makes her want to commit violence, and knowledge about her land that he shouldn't have. He lied to get onto her property. He dug up something ancient. And now the magic she's been ignoring her whole life won't stay buried. Neither will the feelings she's controlled for two decades.

Five-star reviews of the series opener

Whispers from the readers

★★★★★

Hot flashes weren't funny until now.

“This is a wonderfully entertaining closed door romantic comedy with a newly minted witch, an opinionated cat, a talking toaster who only speaks French, a house that develops its own personality, and a hard won happily ever after. I laughed until my sides hurt.”
Laure Eccleston · Amazon

★★★★★

Cassie is such a realistic heroine!

“We need more fantasy romance about middle aged women! I'm sick of teenage heroines. Love the forced proximity and the development of Cassie and Liam's chemistry. Liam is a gem!”
Nia M. · Amazon

★★★★★

Read the whole series

“This gem of a series gets better as it goes. Each is short and well worth the time. Romance off the pages, clean, and light-hearted but with a profound message.”
