Justus Jacobi loves three items: her seven-­year-­old son, panorama design, and the man she sees only one time a calendar year. For days gone by twelve years, they’ve spent a surreal week collectively, but Justus has never considered their relationship not a dream-especially since they’ve hardly ever exchanged their actual names. However when Justus involves the Texas Rose Ranch to work, fantasy becomes reality fast…

Houston “Rowdy” Rose is an award-winning vintner, the second boy in the Texas Rose Ranch dynasty…as well as the keeper of the secret that, if discovered, would make him an outsider in his own family. If indeed they understood where he proceeded to go the 1st week of each September, it would throw into question his reputation-reserved, cautious-revealing an unbridled creative side he’d rather maintain concealed. But that aspect of Rowdy is all Justus knows-until now.

As they rekindle their passionate romantic relationship in the real world, they learn what their lives look like beyond a once-a-year romance-and whether love can survive a reality check.
