Bed of Roses

Rainbows and roses . . . love and danger . . . betrayal and desire. And the lush splendor of California’s Napa Valley. It is here, from the bestselling pen of Katherine Stone, that this enthralling story unfolds.

He had never been in love—until her . . .

He is the stunning and powerful Chase Tessier, the gray-eyed maestro who creates the liquid poetry that is Tessier wine.

And she had never been loved at all—until him . . .

She is Cassandra Winter, the fierce and fragile waif who joyfully gave him her heart during an enchanted summer when the air was fragrant with newborn grapes and moonlit roses.

But it was she who left their love. And now . . .

Now the uncertain waif is a celebrated actress. She lies in intensive care, the victim of a merciless assault, ravaged, broken, and needing him. And he is there, to help her if he can, and to love her, if she will permit him to.

Yet there is such danger on this journey home, this brave journey back to love. Perilous secrets of the past threaten . . . and the vicious assailant who left Cassandra for dead lusts, still, for her death.
