The Grape Series

At the age of 17, in a last-minute twist of fate, Laura Bradbury is sent to Burgundy, France, for a year’s exchange. She arrives knowing only a smattering of French and with no idea what to expect in her first foray out of North America. With a head full of dreams and a powerful desire to please, Laura quickly adapts to Burgundian life, learning crucial skills such as the fine art of wine tasting and how to savor snails.

My Grape Paris takes fans of Laura Bradbury’s Grape Series to the captivating world of Paris, where Laura has managed to organize an exchange year at the Sorbonne. Franck accompanies her, delighted to return to his native France. Over afternoons napping in an ancient Roman amphitheater and nights gallivanting around the Louvre, Laura dreams of becoming a sophisticated Parisian woman.

My Grape Wedding takes fans of Laura Bradbury’s Grape Series from London to the enchanting world of Burgundy five years after Franck and Laura met on a student exchange. After a spontaneous proposal in Kathmandu, the bride-to-be struggles with balancing the academic demands of Oxford with lessons on how to be a proper Catholic and fittings with the Queen of England’s corset maker. Laura believes she and Franck belong together, but how will they survive this tumultuous journey to the altar?

In My Grape Escape, 26-year-old Laura steps off the path to a prestigious legal career in London and into a revolutionary-era ruin in the Burgundian town of Beaune with her new husband, Franck. Is this split-second, life-altering decision profoundly wise or utterly insane? Will running from the law to the vineyards of France trump the expectations she has long held for herself? Find out in My Grape Escape, book two in Laura's popular Grape Series.

Five years after My Grape Escape, Laura and Franck are back in Burgundy to tackle their newest project - a derelict 16th-century winemaker’s cottage located behind Franck’s family home. Navigating the different rules for raising children and managing a family in a small French village prove every bit as challenging for Laura as learning to drive a stick shift through narrow streets or arguing with tyrannical French officials over paint colors (spoiler alert: any color as long as it’s gray).

Much as they dream of family winetastings in a magical place, reviving a 13th century cellar proves a formidable task. Laura never imagined she’d be hunting through ancient sinks, hauling stones by moonlight, or appointing godparents for a medieval cave, all while managing an even more important project: a new baby. Find out if Laura and Franck manage to keep all the balls in the air in My Grape Cellar, book seven in the best-selling Grape series.
