Best Man

Faith Holland was jilted at the altar and left her hometown afterward. Years later, she goes back to the Blue Heron Winery, the vineyard her family owns, to face what she left behind.

Waiting there is Levi Cooper, the local police chief. He is also the best friend of the man who was meant to marry her. Faith begins to see qualities in Levi she never noticed before, but she cannot forget that he played a part in wrecking her wedding all those years ago.

Her family is no help. Their troubles keep her busy at the winery, and she has to find time between them to work out how she feels about Levi and about staying.

This is a contemporary romance set among the vines of a family vineyard. The tone is light and humorous, with wine-related wordplay running through the setup. The main question is whether Faith can set aside an old grievance and give a second chance to the person tied to her worst day.
