The Lonely Sommelier

ONLY A FOOL WOULD RISK ANOTHER BROKEN HEART... Tessa Mariano has survived it all-loss, abandonment, betrayal, financial ruin. Now, seven years after her divorce, the hardworking entrepreneur is a successful sommelier and owner of one of the most popular wine shops in Sonoma. But her meticulously managed life is upended when her ex-husband announces he wants custody of their son, thirteen-year-old Marco. Two days later, she's blindsided again when her beloved grandmother, Nonna, lands in the hospital. Attempting to manage Nonna's care, Tessa has little patience for her grandmother's stubborn surgeon, Dr. Owen Barnes. But after numerous encounters with the hardheaded doctor, Tessa's opinion of him softens. Grateful for his confidence and concern, she can't deny the attraction. But preventing her ex from taking Marco is all consuming-and a convenient excuse for avoiding a relationship and the risk of another broken heart. It isn't until losing her son appears to be all but inevitable that Tessa realizes she can't control the uncontrollable. And if she doesn't let go of the pain from her past, she'll no doubt face a very lonely future.
