This book was written before the author became well known for her paranormal romance Guild Hunter and Psy/Changeling series. It's a contemporary romance that takes place at a vineyard in California where Frenchman Alexandre Dupree has arrived to do a consultation. He meets Charlotte Ashton, the winery's florist who is also the niece of the owner. She's very shy and feels that she's never fit in with her extended family because she's half Native American, but she and Alexandre are immediately taken with each other. Charlotte is also trying to find out if her mother really died in car accident many years ago, and if she didn't, why she didn't raise Charlotte and her brother.
This was a nice, diverting romance with two very likable leads. Singh has a way with words that made it even more enjoyable. It is book five in Dynasties: The Ashtons series, but I read it as a stand alone with no trouble. 186 pages.
