Take one seemingly normal Oregon vineyard. Add a biker grandma, a stoned alpaca, a malfunctioning bra, and a pair of disturbingly amorous parents. Throw in a divorced vineyard owner trying hard not to fall for the one guy who can squash her heart like a grape, and what do you get? Hilarity. Love. Great wine. Not necessarily in that order.
Growing up with the world’s most lovestruck parents left Reese with an warped sense of relationships and her own failed marriage that barely outlasted an uncorked chardonnay. She wants a quiet life running her family’s vineyard, so the last thing she needs is romance with the guy who face-planted on her wedding cake ten years ago.
But Clay is determined to prove he’s a changed man. OK, so the guy code says dating a buddy’s ex is worse than drinking pinot noir from a Styrofoam cup. And there might be a few obstacles in his way, including a slutty cousin, a groin-butting alpaca, and a biker grandma who won’t stop pinching his ass.
Still, there must be some way for Reese and Clay to get over it, get on with it, and get it on. At least there might have been until someone started sabotaging the vineyard.

It’s your typical “reluctant fake psychic” meets “jaded owner of a male strip club” love story. With a twist.
Violet McGinn doesn’t believe in psychic powers. That’s one thing she has in common with Drew Watson, the infuriatingly hot owner of the bar next door to Miss Moonbeam’s psychic studio. There’s just one problem – Miss Moonbeam is Violet’s mother. And for the next few weeks, Violet must fill mom’s shoes at the psychic studio.
Drew can’t figure out who’s nuttier – Miss Moonbeam, or her gorgeous daughter trying desperately to live the normal, straight-laced life mom never gave her. The one thing he knows for sure is that he doesn’t need another type-A female meddling with his life, career, or heart. So why can’t he get her out of his head?
Before Drew and Violet know what hit them, they discover that while normal may be nice, weird can be wonderful. Even worse, there just might be something to this psychic crap after all…

There are normal ways to cope with job loss, and most don’t involve plotting a revenge-fueled diamond heist in the Caribbean with a crew more suited to the boardroom than the poop deck.
But Alex Bradshaw isn’t feeling very normal when his unscrupulous boss kicks him to the curb after 20 faithful years as an executive with the world’s largest shipping company. Alex wants payback, and maybe a chance to reclaim his dignity and his pension while he’s at it. Assembling a team of fellow corporate castoffs, he sails to the Caribbean to intercept the boss's illegal diamond shipment. None of them counted on a quirky blonde stowaway with a perplexing array of talents, a few big secrets, and an intoxicating romantic chemistry with Alex.
And while Juli Flynn certainly didn’t plan to be a part of the most dysfunctional high seas caper in history, it’s a rare chance for her to feel like she belongs. She’s spent a lifetime being “different” from everyone else, though the reasons for that are something she’d prefer not to share with her newfound shipmates. Juli just wants to be normal for a change, but as she finds her place with the misfit crew – and in Alex’s heart – she discovers normal isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. And sometimes, being weird can be wonderful.
