Daynesha Norman came to Chile for clarity—not for him.

After failing the Advanced Sommelier Exam twice, Day bets everything on a six-month Workaway assignment at a vineyard in Chile’s Elqui Valley. The plan? Immerse herself in South American wines, pass the exam in May, and finally prove she’s more than just a wandering spirit with a good palate.

Enter Cruz Silva: Chilean winemaker, devout traditionalist, and the last of his family line. He’s grieving, private, and perfectly content to live and die among the vines—until a hazel-eyed woman with sage in her pocket and music in her boots shows up and starts turning everything upside down.

A Crash. A Country. A Love That Refused to Let Go.

When Mae Grant, a seasoned survivalist trainer from rural Alabama, touches down in Guyana to launch a cross-Caribbean wilderness initiative, she’s ready for anything—except the plane crash that changes everything. Waking up in the jungle with a broken arm, no exit plan, and a bush pilot she barely knows, Mae must rely on her instincts, her grit… and Zayn Persaud.

Zayn never planned to play hero. At thirty, he’s built a life of comfort and freedom—flying clients, dodging commitment, and keeping one foot in the clouds. But when his routine flight turns into a fight for survival, Zayn discovers a different kind of strength. One born not from control, but care.
