Two rival winemakers. One shared creek. And a public feud hiding a private obsession.

Sera Moretti’s legacy is drying up. When the creek feeding her family's thirty-year-old vines is reduced to a trickle, she traces the problem directly to the property next door. Margot Ashford, the corporate heiress who just built a glass-and-steel winery on the neighboring land, is everything Sera despises. She's polished, data-driven, and completely out of touch with the dirt beneath her boots.

Margot came to Sycamore Bend to prove herself to her demanding father, not to start a war with the fierce, flannel-wearing woman next door. But when Sera publicly confronts her at the local farmer's market, the spark between them is undeniable. Their feud becomes the talk of the town, fueling a bitter, high-stakes rivalry that’s surprisingly great for business.

In public, they are mortal enemies. But in the amber light of Margot's underground barrel room, the tension boils over into a secret, high-heat "arrangement." They agree to three simple rules: No feelings. No sleepovers. No one finds out.

It’s the perfect plan to get each other out of their systems. Until it isn't. Because the line between hate and love is dangerously thin, and some things have to be broken before they can become something extraordinary.

CRUSHED is a high-heat, standalone sapphic romance featuring intense enemies-to-lovers tension, grumpy/sunshine dynamics, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
