Mackenzie Diene's life revolves around the family vineyard and the grapes. Her life is about to change when her mother-in-law becomes engaged. It makes Mackenzie and her husband realize that they need to get a divorce, making her realize she can’t stay where she is. Bruno Provencio is looking for a new challenge after selling his business. He wants to buy a vineyard and make wine. Bruno loves this area of Oregon and Washington. He’ll bring on a partner that will change both their lives forever. Dreams will come true and new relationships will begin at The Vineyard at Painted Moon.

Susan Mallery’s The Vineyard at Painted Moon will have you wondering what is next for the main characters and how they’ll solve their problems. A peek into the world of wine-making world brings these well-rounded characters happiness that they didn’t know they were missing.

A man whose life needs change and gets his own story from another of Susan Mallery’s other books to find the happy ending he’s been looking for. Lives will be changed forever when one engagement during a party will have a ripple effect.

SUMMARY

Step into the vineyard with Susan Mallery’s most irresistible novel yet, as one woman searches for the perfect blend of love, family and wine.

Mackenzie Dienes seems to have it all—a beautiful home, close friends and a successful career as an elite winemaker with the family winery. There’s just one problem—it’s not her family, it’s her husband’s. In fact, everything in her life is tied to him—his mother is the closest thing to a mom that she’s ever had, their home is on the family compound, his sister is her best friend. So when she and her husband admit their marriage is over, her pain goes beyond heartbreak. She’s on the brink of losing everything. Her job, her home, her friends and, worst of all, her family.

Staying is an option. She can continue to work at the winery, be friends with her mother-in-law, hug her nieces and nephews—but as an employee, nothing more. Or she can surrender every piece of her heart in order to build a legacy of her own. If she can dare to let go of the life she thought she wanted, she might discover something even more beautiful waiting for her beneath a painted moon.
