A Toast for Laurent (Vine Valley, 1‪)‬

From the author of Red Maple Falls comes a heartfelt, steamy small-town romance about old pacts, second chances, and the one who got away.

He was her best friend, her first heartbreak, and the man who swore he'd marry her if they were still single at forty.

Now she's cashing in on that promise.

Phoebe

I never planned to cash in on a college pact, but when my job sends me to Vine Valley to figure out why a luxury resort is failing to turn a profit despite record bookings, I figure why not make the most of it? Between digging through financials, trimming expenses, and my stepsister's upcoming wedding, I need a date… and maybe a little fun.

Laurent was my best friend, my first heartbreak, and the guy who swore he'd marry me if we were still single at forty. Well, I'm here. He's here. And apparently, he remembers that promise.

Laurent

Phoebe Grasso is the same whirlwind I fell for back in college. She vanished, took my heart with her, and now she's back asking me to play groom-for-hire. I'll do it—on one condition: she can't fall in love with me.

Too bad I never stopped loving her.

A Toast for Laurent is the first in the Vine Valley series, a steamy, emotional, small-town romance that proves some promises only get better with age.
