She left her heart behind. Now, she's back—but will love get a second chance?
In the magical wine-country town of Everwood, Ariel Callahan has always loved Tej Nair, a prince of a different world. But their love wasn’t enough to overcome his family’s expectations and the secret that shattered her—Ariel can never have children. Heartbroken and torn apart by tradition, Ariel fled to New York, leaving everything behind to fight for justice with the ACLU.
Seven years later, she’s back in Everwood, seeking comfort in her family’s vineyard and the warmth of the Whispering Vines wine bar. She’s rebuilt her life—but the past still lingers.
Tej’s life hasn’t fared much better. Trapped in a loveless arranged marriage and a career that leaves him empty, he’s adrift, living on a boat in Santa Barbara but longing for something real, something he lost.
When fate brings Ariel and Tej together again, their reunion is bittersweet—filled with old wounds, hidden truths, and a spark that refuses to die. Can the magic of Everwood’s sunlit vineyards and the courage to face their deepest fears bring them the happy ending they both deserve?
