Welcome to Lost Creek, a small town deep in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, where people come seeking new opportunities and a chance to reinvent themselves-and maybe even find love.

A man rocked by scandal. A woman betrayed by those she loved. A kiss that should be wrong but is more than right...

Winemaker Braden Clark's world is turned upside down when his father is convicted of embezzlement charges and sentenced to prison. The family's prestigious company, Clark Vineyards, no longer exists, its assets and the very land the grapes grow on having been seized by the federal government. Braden, tainted by scandal, can't land a job in wine industry, despite his skills and reputation.

Event planner Harper Hart discovers the day before her wedding that her fiancé has been cheating on her with her best friend. Eager to escape Austin, she returns home to Lost Creek, a small town in the serene Texas Hill Country, where her family runs Lost Creek Vineyards, known for its remarkable wines.

Braden gets a fresh start as a viticulturist at Lost Creek Winery, soon working his way up to chief winemaker. He would prefer to devote all his time and energy to his job, but Harper, who has taken on the role of the winery's event manager, is a sexy distraction that he can't seem to avoid.

Soon, their professional and personal lives intertwine, with their friendship deepening. As they learn to lean on one another for support and heal emotionally, friendship turns into love.
