Books like An Unlikely Love by Dorothy Clark
Marissa Bradley has devoted her life to the temperance movement, her brother’s tragic death by alcohol fueling her advocacy. When she encounters the charismatic Grant Winston, he is drawn to her fervor and compassion.
Grant, a young vintner, discovers Marissa’s public criticisms of his family's vineyard, which supports his family's livelihood and provides his mother with a home. He sympathizes with her cause, yet his love for his heritage and the orchard must be weighed.
Their growing affection forces Marissa to confront whether she can reconcile her moral mission with the practical needs of a family enterprise, and Grant to decide if love can coexist with responsibility.
