Where Strawberry Wine began, and future stories unfold.
Strawberry Wine, by A.J. Rose
One summer in Oklahoma changed everything…
Among overgrown strawberry rows and fading sunsets, Magnolia Harper meets Jesse Turner—a man who sees past her mother’s sins and into the woman she’s fighting to become.
What begins as friendship ripens into something tender and forbidden, as intoxicating and bittersweet as the strawberry wine her grandmother once made.
But when the season fades and the sun rises, Magnolia is left to wonder—Is first love truly bittersweet and green on the vine…or can it last through time?
A story of love, forgiveness, and the memories that linger long after the taste of strawberry wine.
Sunlit Whispers Yet to Be Shared
Eleanor Kincaid has always done what was expected of her—the perfect wife, the dutiful daughter, the woman who learned how to disappear for the sake of keeping everyone else comfortable. She told herself that meant everything was fine, until one night makes it impossible to keep pretending.
When gossip sharpens and expectations begin to close in, Eleanor retreats to the one place that never demanded she be smaller, quieter, or easier to manage. But escape doesn’t always bring peace. In a small town, the distance between who she became and who she used to be grows impossible to ignore. Old rules and habits cling, while the strength she buried begins to surface.
Then there’s a man who refuses to handle her gently.
He doesn’t praise her restraint or reward her silence. He meets her resistance head-on—challenging her when she deflects, pushing back when she hides behind politeness. Every encounter strips something raw loose, and Eleanor hates how much she wants him… and how little room he leaves for pretense.
Some chemistry doesn’t ask permission.
It dares you to burn.
As pressure builds, defiance sparks, and desire threatens the careful walls she’s constructed, Eleanor must decide how much longer she’s willing to trade her voice for safety—and what it will cost to finally choose herself.
Some loves ask you to stay quiet.
Others ask you to Let That Pony Run.
