⚠ grief ⚠ mild language

Wren Halloway and Théo Marchetti grew up two vineyards apart in Solvane Hollow, on opposite sides of a feud that split their grandfathers' original estate in half sixty years ago. When Wren's grandfather dies, his will has one condition nobody saw coming: the land can only be saved from a hospitality conglomerate's buyout if Wren and Théo marry within the harvest season and run the reunified estate together for a full year. Two strangers, one contract, one house, one deadline neither of them asked for — and a growing problem neither can admit out loud: somewhere between the crush pad and the town's watchful eyes, it stops feeling like a contract disturbingly fast. But Théo has spent his whole life terrified of becoming his parents, trapped in a marriage exactly like this one. And the moment it starts feeling real is the moment he starts running.
