BunnyWine

Before the power, there was BunnyWine.

Bunny LeBlanc was never meant to be ordinary.

Formerly Celia Jones, she reinvents herself after falling in love with John LeBlanc, a man with deep ties to organized crime and an instinct for reinvention. When they leave New York for Jamaica, Bunny believes she is stepping into freedom, beauty, and a life protected from the violence she once observed from a distance. Instead, she finds herself at the center of a world where power is reshaped, not abandoned.

As John transforms his criminal empire into legitimate enterprises, Bunny becomes the quiet force behind one of its most enigmatic successes: BunnyWine. Luxurious, exclusive, and coveted, the wine is more than a business. It is a symbol of reinvention, secrecy, and desire. But prosperity comes at a price, and the past has a way of resurfacing when ambition grows too visible.

Set against the political unrest of 1980s Jamaica and a New York City unraveling under corruption, crime, and social fracture, BunnyWine weaves together love, survival, moral compromise, and the cost of legacy. From backroom deals to personal betrayals, the novel explores how women navigate power in spaces designed to keep them ornamental and silent.

BunnyWine is a richly layered crime and political drama about transformation, loyalty, and the dangerous allure of control. It is the origin story that sets everything else in motion.
