Stefani Valetti

For the past few years, Stefani has been running her family’s Oregon winery, Bel Cielo Estate. The only thing missing from her picturesque countryside life is companionship. But with a great distaste for dating - and the city - Stefani approaches an international service to make her marital dreams come true. 

Enter Yulia, the alluring Russian woman with a penchant for heavy flirtation. She occasionally puts her money where her mouth is, too, driving Stefani wild with fantasies that this marriage might be more than convenience. 

Yet she can’t shake the feeling that Yulia has an ulterior motive. Or maybe that’s the Valettis’ collective past coming back to bite them. 

Yulia Petrova

Yulia Petrova will do whatever it takes to get to America, specifically, the Pacific Northwest, where the only person who matters is waiting for her. 

She’ll even marry a total stranger. A woman, no less. 

The trick isn’t balancing her own preferences. No, the trick is keeping her new fiancée from finding out the truth too quickly. First, she must ensure that Stefani is in love with her. Then, Yulia must reveal the tragic truth that has brought her to America. 

Dosvidaniya, mi amore

Their budding passion and rising trust in one another is about to be severely complicated by the illness sweeping the world. For Stefani, that means shutting down the winery and hiding behind her chronic anxiety. For Yulia, that means taking all matters into her own hands. The whole world could burn, and she would still get what she came here for. 

And she will do it alone - with or without the woman she’s come to love.
