"Temperance Jean Madigan and Duncan Brady have never gotten it right. After one radiant, secret summer together when they were eighteen, they've been on-again off-again ever since. Now, despite red-hot chemistry and TJ's closeness with Duncan's family, they're virtually strangers, only capable of adversarial banter, awkward small talk-and the occasional messy hookup. When a wedding at the Bradys' vineyard lands TJ there for the summer, their mutual avoidance strategies prove impossible. The last thing TJ wants is to be under those angsty, heated glances Duncan thinks he hides. And for Duncan, having fiery TJ constantly close is the ultimate distraction that he absolutely can't afford. When forced proximity begins to chip away at their armor, buried tensions resurface, old wounds urge confrontation, and once-in-a-lifetime love demands one last chance to finally get it right."--

Rowan McKinnon tror ikke på kærligheden. Hun har nok at gøre med at færdiggøre sin ph.d. i botanik og lejlighedsvise engangsknald. Med både en usikker barndom med en omsorgssvigtende mor og en manipulerende eksforlovet har hun helt og holdent afskrevet eksistensen af ægte kærlighed og har i stedet fundet et hjem i sine to nære veninder. Men da hendes akademiske karriere kører af sporet, tilbydes hun muligheden for at genoprette en vingård i Pennsylvania. Hun kaster sig ud i arbejdet med at give vinmarkerne fornyet liv. Hendes udfordring bliver dog ikke det botaniske arbejde, men derimod en hvis Harrison Brady – og hans familie. For i familien Brady ser Rowan det, hun aldrig selv er blevet forundt: en lykkelig og kærlig familie. Det er Harrys forældre, der har købt den gamle vingård, og Harry rejser til Pennsylvania for at hjælpe dem med istandsættelsen. Egentlig er Harry næsten færdiguddannet som læge, men efter han under traumatiske omstændigheder mistede en patient, er han endt i et dybt, sort hul. Harry er godt klar over, at hans familie beder ham hjælpe med istandsættelsen for at få ham ud af sit tungsind, men han tror ikke rigtigt på det. Da han ankommer til vingården og møder Rowan, ser han dog alligevel et lys for enden af tunnelen. Vingårdens vilde blomster følger to forrevne sjæle, der finder hinanden og langsomt heles. Sammen udforsker de, hvad kærlighed er, og de erfarer, hvor let den kan gå i stykker.Jen Devon bor i den amerikanske delstat Ohio, hvor hun skriver romaner om uperfekte mennesker, der finder deres perfekte match. Hun har tidligere forsket og undervist i biologi. Vingårdens vilde blomster er Jen Devons debut og første gang, hun udkommer på dansk.
