New Flames

Maggie Frey didn’t return to Honey Wine to see him—not this time.

Maggie and Adrian’s so-called casual arrangement should have burned itself out long ago, but when her best friend moved to his small town, the sparks refused to die. 

When Maggie needs post-hysterectomy help, she doesn’t tell Adrian she’ll be recovering in Honey Wine. She never expects him to accept her limitations and pitch in to care for her.

Adrian’s sizzling temptations awaken terrifyingly tender feelings in Maggie, who is facing personal and professional disruptions. And Adrian, spurred by the courageous ways she pushes against societal pressure, is fueled to confront his own family expectations. 

During their stolen weeks together, they wrestle with once-hidden truths about the futures they’d envisioned. Each stripped layer of vulnerability fans embers that could scorch them both, but just might grow into a new flame of love like they’ve never known.
