Heroes of St. Helena is Marina Adair’s three-book series about first responders in the same wine country town as her earlier St. Helena Vineyard series. Need You for Keeps (2015), Need You for Always (2015), and Need You for Mine (2016) each pair a local hero with a love interest in a setting readers of the Vineyard series will recognize.
Need You for Keeps opens with a first responder and an animal rescue plotline. Need You for Always follows with a military veteran adjusting to small-town life, and Need You for Mine rounds out the trilogy. The “Need You” naming convention ties the three books together while each tells a complete romance.
Readers who enjoyed the St. Helena Vineyard series will find familiar streets and businesses here, since both series share the same fictional version of the real Napa Valley town. The Heroes books focus on the town’s emergency workers rather than the vineyard families, which gives the spinoff its own identity while staying connected to the original.
