Poté co přišla o práci i o snoubence, se Natalie Vosová vrací do rodného města, aby se vzpamatovala a utopila svůj žal ve víně. O několik měsíců později už je připravena postavit se na vlastní nohy, potřebuje k tomu jen peníze ze svého svěřenského fondu. Podmínky ovšem vyžadují, aby se vdala. August Cates sice vlastní vinici, ale o výrobě vína nemá ani páru, na ochutnávky k němu do vinařství nikdo nechodí a jeho víno se nedá pít. Žádná banka mu nechce poskytnout půjčku, která by ho zachránila, když vtom mu jednoho dne zaklepe na dveře nádherná bohatá dědička Natalie. Manželství naoko je oba zachrání, dokážou se pak ale rozvést?

Hallie Welchová nikdy nezapomněla na Juliana Vose, syna majitelů rozlehlých vinic, který ji kdysi skoro políbil. Pracuje jako zahradnice a právě získala zakázku na jeho rodinném panství. Jenže Julian už její dávnou lásku nepřipomíná ani trochu. A navíc si na ni nevzpomíná. Julian má v plánu napsat během studijního volna román. Ale jak to má provést, když mu Hallie zahradničí přímo před okny? Chodí všude pozdě, je výstřední, věčně umazaná od hlíny, a přitom tak neuvěřitelně krásná, že se Julian nedokáže soustředit na nic jiného. Muži, který si žehlí i ponožky a všechno má přesně naplánované, nedává její živelná energie smysl, ale zároveň je na ní něco důvěrně známého…
