The Heart & Vines Series
The Hearts & Vines series is a collection of contemporary romance novels set among vineyards, family farms, long lunches, old hurts and second chances.
At the heart of the series are women rebuilding their lives, men learning what it means to truly show up, and families who love deeply, even when they do not always get it right.
These are stories about coming home, starting again, finding your people and discovering that love often arrives when life feels the most uncertain.
Set against the warmth of the Barossa Valley, each book follows a different couple, while familiar faces, shared meals and the rhythm of the land tie the series together.
There is romance, of course. But there is also friendship, grief, family, food, community and the kind of love that grows slowly, like vines reaching for the sun.

From the Author
The idea for Hearts & Vines had been sitting quietly with me for almost ten years before I finally decided to put pen to paper.
For a long time, these characters lived in the back of my mind. I knew the feeling of the place. I knew there would be vineyards, family farms, food shared around tables, old hurts, complicated love and people trying to begin again. But it took me a while to feel ready to bring them properly to life.
When I finally started writing, Clara and Jack’s story became the beginning of something much bigger. A series about love, yes, but also about belonging, courage, forgiveness and the families we are born into, as well as the ones we choose.
I hope readers feel the warmth of these stories. I hope they recognise something real in the characters. And more than anything, I hope they enjoy spending time among the vines.
