In the first book of Heather Heyford’s newest series, a family-run vineyard is the perfect place to find yourself . . . and lose your heart.     The Vineyards at Ribbon Ridge is about as far away from the big city as Philadelphia music teacher Jamie Martel can get, and it’s the perfect place for her to forget her troubles for a while.

When she is offered a summer job at the lush Oregon vineyard, she decides it is time to find out.    Hank Friestatt took over The Vineyards when his parents passed. Committed to keeping their legacy alive, he has poured his heart and soul into the family business. With things back on track, he’s torn between tradition and a tempting opportunity to cut and run. Yet something about down-to-earth Jamie is making him question his plans. As the grapes are harvested and the leaves start to turn, Hank vows to keep the promises he made. Saying goodbye to Jamie, however, may be a lot harder than he thought . . .    Praise for the Willamette Valley Romances   “A beautiful love story.”—Guilty Pleasures on First Comes Love   “A sweet story, rich in family relationships, small-town comfort, and a romance between two deserving people.”—The Romance Dish on First Comes Love
