a bit of a commitment phobe. Once she arrives at the Vineyard, she finds herself falling for a man but not just any man, a single dad.

Danielle comes from a well to do family life where she has always been treated like a princess and has gotten everything she has ever wanted. Once thing she still doesn't have but wants very badly is a man.

She's ready to settle down and land herself a wealthy husband. At the Vineyard, she surprises herself by falling for a blue collar instead of a blue blood.

Clare comes from a very wealthy family. Her family expects her to marry her prim and proper, well to do fiance, Winchester Carrington III. He's pushy, controlling and showy, everything Clare is not. She's worried that she could be making the wrong decision.

Taking the time away for herself, she heads out for a summer in the Vineyard to see if a life with Winchester is really the best thing for her. A wild and hot summer in the Vineyard holds many adventures and suprises for all three girls.
