Opposites can sometimes attract in the most beautiful ways.What are three lessons you hope readers will take away from Secretly Yours? Winemaking is such a longstanding practice and it made me want classic romance with a modern twist, so I crafted a fun storyline about secret admirer letters to go along with the eternal feeling of that region.
As soon as I started picturing sun drenched kissing scenes, I landed on Napa. Previously, I was in a misty fishing town and this time, I wanted somewhere warm and golden and inviting.

Unfortunately, her actions sow the seeds of chaos and Julian soon finds himself stuck dreaming about what he believes are two different women. But when their obvious differences make them outwardly incompatible, Hallie decides to write Julian some secret admirer letters to try and connect on a more personal level. Now he's back in Napa to write a novel and she can't resist the chance to see him up close. Hallie has been replaying her almost-kiss with Julian since high school. TB: A laugh-out-loud grumpy sunshine romantic comedy between a strait-laced, schedule-oriented history professor and his hippie gardener who could care less about being on time.
