Your new book boyfriend Hugo is waiting


Holy sh*t, it's launch day!

Hey gorgeous readers,

I'm literally shaking as I type this. THE VINES BETWEEN US is live right now—Kindle Unlimited, ebook, paperback, the whole shebang. I think I've checked Amazon seventeen times in the last hour just to make sure it's really there.

You know that feeling when you send your book baby out into the world? Like watching your kid go to school for the first time, except more terrifying because people are going to have OPINIONS about your fictional men and their life choices.

People are actually reading it (and not hating it!)

Okay, I have to share this because I'm still ugly-crying over it. Someone left this review and I just... chef's kiss:

"Second-chance romance is tough for me at times, but this was such a well-earned HEA... Hugo and Alexandre are absolutely meant to be. Their story deserves to be resumed and their happiness is central to this world."

Like, did they read my SOUL? Because yes, that's exactly what I wanted. Hugo and Alexandre have been living rent-free in my head for over a month, and knowing someone else gets them? Pure magic.

To my pre-order heroes

Listen, if you pre-ordered this book, you're basically my favorite person right now. Seriously. You took a chance on a story you hadn't read yet, trusted me not to completely destroy your emotions (well, maybe a little), and gave Alexandre and Hugo a home before they even officially existed in the world.

Pre-orders are like author anxiety medicine. Every time I got that little notification, it was like a tiny voice saying "hey, people actually want to read your words." So thank you. From the bottom of my wine-loving, second-chance-romance-obsessed heart.

What you're getting yourself into

Fair warning: Alexandre is going to frustrate the hell out of you. The man has commitment issues that could fill a therapy textbook. But Hugo? Hugo is patient and stubborn and exactly the kind of man who'd wait fourteen years for the right person to come home.

I set this whole mess in French wine country because honestly, where else are you going to have dramatic conversations about love and legacy? Plus, all that sexual tension practically writes itself when you've got two gorgeous men working side by side in sun-drenched vineyards.

This book has my whole heart in it. The fear of choosing love over safety. The way places hold memories. That moment when you realize some people are just meant to find their way back to each other, no matter how far they run.

Go get your copy!

THE VINES BETWEEN US is waiting for you:

  • Kindle Unlimited (free if you've got it)
  • Ebook
  • Paperback for all you book-sniffers out there

I'm probably going to spend today stress-eating milk chocolate and refreshing my phone every five minutes. Standard launch day behavior.

Can't wait to hear what you think. And if Alexandre makes you want to throw your Kindle at the wall, just remember—the best love stories make you feel things.

xoxo,

C.G. Macington

P.S. - Seriously though, let me know your thoughts! I live for your messages, reviews, and even your angry rants about my fictional men's poor life choices(sde note: one of my beta readers would have a lot to say about this).
