Love's Hidden Knot - by Annie Carlisle

Two strangers, one unforgettable night. No names, no promises—but fate has other plans.  

Emma Murphy, the youngest of her siblings, seeks solace from a tough day in the anonymity of a hotel bar. A chance encounter leads to a passionate one-night stand with a mysterious man. Leaving before dawn without exchanging names, she believes it's a fleeting moment never to be revisited.  

Miles, a former Navy SEAL turned world-renowned wine critic, is headed to the Celtic Knot Winery to evaluate a rumored secret vintage and check on his old teammate's family business. After a turbulent flight, he finds comfort in the hotel bar, where a captivating woman offers a connection he didn't realize he was missing.  

When they come face-to-face at the winery the next day, both are shocked—and secretly thrilled. Agreeing to keep their prior encounter hidden, Miles immerses himself in helping the winery reclaim its reputation, while Emma grapples with threats from a disgraced former classmate bent on revenge.  

As danger closes in on Emma, Miles's protective instincts kick in, revealing the depth of his feelings and the skills from his covert past. Together, they navigate a web of lies, hidden agendas, and family secrets—all while resisting the undeniable pull between them.  

In a world where love is tangled with lies and every knot has the potential to unravel, will Emma and Miles risk everything to protect each other and embrace the love that beckons?
