The Glimmer in the Leaves

Milo Hays delivers another emotion filled journey of relatable midlife challenges through characters his readers will love. But, this time, it is in a fast-paced, fun, romance story that blends country-club and country at a troubled faux winery with a colorful clientele out in the sticks.

When fifty-year-old Rowan Delaney decided to take a day drive out into the country, his goal was to decompress. The pressures of his high-pressure corporate banking job, his sheltered country club life, and the anxiety of his looming divorce with kids in college were pushing him to the edge. And when his GPS delivered him to a country winery and bar out in the middle of nowhere for a much needed pit stop before heading back home, his immediate apprehension turned to intrigue as he was lured past the pick-ups and ATVs in the parking lot by an infectious buzz that permeated out from the building where, inside, sat an alluring new world, a number of memorable characters, and a beautiful, mid-forties bartender who immediately zeroed in on him with an overly sarcastic welcome.

The Glimmer in the Leaves is a fast moving, page-turning, emotional love story between two struggling mid-life, sort-of singles who find their perfect, and unexpected, opportunity for love in the strangest of places. Trying emotional moments, fun happenings, and uncomfortable run-ins fill the life paths for these two as their two, vastly different worlds find hope out in the countryside, somewhere in the leaves
