#1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs returns to sun-drenched Bella Vista, where the land's bounty yields a rich harvest…and family secrets that have long been buried.
Isabel Johansen, a celebrated chef who grew up in the sleepy Sonoma town of Archangel, is transforming her childhood home into a destination cooking school—a unique place for other dreamers to come and learn the culinary arts. Bella Vista's rambling mission-style hacienda, with its working apple orchards, bountiful gardens and beehives, is the idyllic venue for Isabel's project…and the perfect place for her to forget the past.
But Isabel's carefully ordered plans begin to go awry when swaggering, war-torn journalist Cormac O'Neill arrives to dig up old history. He's always been better at exposing the lives of others than showing his own closely guarded heart, but the pleasures of small-town life and the searing sensuality of Isabel's kitchen coax him into revealing a few truths of his own.
The dreamy sweetness of summer is the perfect time of year for a grand family wedding and the enchanting Beekeeper's Ball, bringing emotions to a head in a story where the past and present collide to create an unexpected new future.
From "one of the best observers of stories of the heart" (Salem Statesman-Journal), The Beekeeper's Ball is an exquisite and richly imagined novel of the secrets that keep us from finding our way, the ties binding us to family and home, and the indelible imprint love can make on the human heart.

Hardback. Etat : Good. The villa is a feast for the senses, from the fountain patio and grape arbor to surrounding orchards and vineyards. Napa Valley. This is Isabel Johansen's home, the place she returned to after a disastrous romance. Once a star student at her prestigious cooking school, Isabel has visions of turning her family's estate into a sumptuous retreat for culinary pilgrims. Surveying Bella Vista's lush vineyards and abundant orchards, she decides that the only thing she's lacking is organic honey? The beekeeper, when he arrives, is a bit of a surprise. Isabel wasn't expecting someone so ruggedly handsome - or someone so allergic to beestings. It's only after she's rescued him from the resulting shock that Isabel learns that the man she expected to help her with her hives is actually a reporter. His name is Mac Somerset, and he wants to talk to Isabel's grandfather about his activities during World War I. Isabel is surprised to discover that Mac and Tess - the sister she's only just met - are old acquaintances. Isabel also finds herself becoming increasing disturbed by Mac's research into her family's history. Her grandfather was a hero in the Danish Resistance, but her family's history is not entirely noble, and she has her own secrets to keep. As Isabel fights to maintain her family's privacy, Mac compels her to confront her own fears - her fear of being vulnerable, her fear of being honest, her fear of falling in love. In the second installment in the Bella Vista Chronicles, New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs considers what it takes to confront your past and follow your dreams.
