From the AuthorIn this story, the Okanagan Valley becomes one of the characters. A lot of the valley is devoted to wineries producing world class vintages, something we're all proud of. After visiting several wineries in the region I realized that a winery would be an ideal setting for a romance novel. Thus, Fallen Angel was born. By the way...we really do have lakes hidden up in the hills. A breathtaking and welcome sight after a day of hiking. I hope you enjoy reading Fallen Angel as much as I enjoyed writing it.
