Autumn Vineyard Novel

In a Hallmark Channel original movie, the dynamic between Frankie Baudouin and Nate DeLuca unfolds with intense tension and undeniable chemistry. Frankie has countless reasons to distrust Nate. For starters, he belongs to the DeLuca family. Secondly, he planted a kiss on her in front of the entire town and promptly vanished without a word. To top it all off, he's set on acquiring her land. For Frankie, Sorrento Ranch represents her last opportunity to prove both to her family and herself that she possesses the talent needed to become an award-winning winemaker. She is resolute in her quest for success, even if it means maintaining a cordial relationship with the impeccably polished, sophisticated, and incredibly attractive Italian.

Nate views Sorrento Ranch as far more than mere land filled with grapevines; it embodies his father's aspirations—a dream that Nate is fiercely committed to realizing. When circumstances force him to share space with the fiery, unpredictable, and undeniably beautiful Baudouin, Nate is taken aback by the realization that chaos can also yield delightful surprises—especially when he notices that she often sleeps clad only in lace.

As the story progresses, Frankie's determination and Nate's ambition begin to create a captivating dynamic.

As they navigate these personal and professional hurdles, their walls begin to crumble, revealing vulnerabilities that draw them closer.

The land itself becomes a symbol of their intertwined fates. While Frankie wants to claim her independence and prove her worth, Nate sees the ranch as a means to honor his father’s legacy. Together, they confront their pasts and forge a new path, where trust and compromise become essential. Through laughter and shared dreams, the barriers guarding their hearts begin to fade away.

As the fall harvest approaches, both Frankie and Nate must decide what really matters to them.
