About this item

#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts exposes a proud family’s deadly secrets in this passionate tale of two Napa Valley rivals...

PR executive Sophia Giambelli loves her job and has never worried about competition. For three generations, her family’s wines have been world-renowned for their quality. But things are about to change at Villa Giambelli. Tereza, the matriarch, has announced a merger with the MacMillan family’s winery—and Sophia will be assuming a new role.

As a savvy businesswoman, Sophia knows she must be prepared for anything...but she isn’t prepared for Tyler MacMillan. They’ve been ordered to work together very closely, to facilitate the merger. Sophia must teach Ty the finer points of marketing—and Ty, in turn, shows her how to get down and dirty, to use the sun, rain, and earth to coax the sweetest grapes from the vineyard.
 
As they toil together, both in and out of the fields, Sophia is torn between a powerful attraction and a professional rivalry. At the end of the season, the course of the company’s future—and the legacy of the villa—may take an entirely new direction. And when acts of sabotage threaten both the family business and the family itself, Sophia’s quest will be not only for dominance, but also for survival.

I always enjoy her stories with very interesting characters that seem sometimes like your best friends.
The story is intriguing and I always learn about a product, a process, an industry that I have known
very little about.

4.0 out of 5 stars Too Long!

Too long and wordy. Too many characters. Hard to keep up with them. Good story, but I think it moved too slow.

4.0 out of 5 stars Weightless paperback
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2022
Not sure if I should review the story itself or the book. The book was a paperback and easy to read. Print were just fine and clear. Slightly larger in dimensions than other books that I am used to. Didn't fit in my hand bag so switched it to my lunch tote. Great price for the book.
