ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 29 2020

His voice enthrals her. Her vibrancy awakens him.

Ashley White can’t wait to begin her internship at Steel Vineyards. As an oenology doctoral candidate, she knows all the theory but lacks practice. Working under renowned winemaker Ryan Steel—and his equally talented nephew, Dale—is an opportunity she can’t refuse.

Dale Steel is a loner. Despite his huge family full of uncles, aunts, and cousins, he’s more at home in his vineyards, where he finds something that comes close to the tranquility he craves. He’ll never find true peace, and he’s accepted his fate…until his new intern shows up and turns the only world he knows upside down.

Ashley awakens emotions in Dale that he never dreamed possible, and though he resents her intrusion into his life, he can’t deny the sparks that blaze between them. Still, he must remain distant. To succumb to his growing feelings would provoke something else entirely—the darkness he keeps hidden even from himself.

REVIEW: Just when you think the Steel family has finished their story…another makes it way into the mind of Helen Hardt. Awakened is the start of the Steel children all over again; this one beginning with Talon and Jade’s children.

Dale Steel loves his vines and the connection he feels with them, working in the vineyard with Ryan is what keeps his demons at bay. Through therapy he has learned to cope, but still refuses to talk about the past and the trauma he experienced. He’s content in life, all he needs is the ranch and the vines.

Or so he thought.

Ashley White loves all things wine and is planning on making it her career. When she lands the internship at Steel Vineyards, she is so excited and happy, while she has the mental knowledge, she doesn’t have any experiences in the making of it. It’s the chance of a lifetime, but she wasn’t expecting Dale.

As always HH hooks us with her characters and storyline. Ashley jolts Dale out of his content little life and soon he starts to crave her just as much as she does to him. Feelings rise, drama ensues, the plot thickens. I very much enjoyed this new start to the Steels, as always HH leaves us with more questions than anything at the end of Awakened. All the more I want my hands on the new book. Way to go on this secret smiling story!
