Tears Of Pride

Her legacy has just gone up in flames

Sheila Lindstrom is reeling from the aftermath of the devastating fire that claimed the life of her father and all but destroyed the Cascade Valley Winery, the family’s pride and joy. Without the insurance proceeds needed to rebuild the winery, Sheila risks losing everything to corporate monolith Wilder Investments. When she confronts company president Noah Wilder, an undeniable attraction hits both of them with the force of a tidal wave. Will mistrust and deceit undermine this volatile union — or will love rise from the ashes?
