Inheriting a Sicilian vineyard and tumbledown farmhouse is Isabel Morrison's chance to start again.
A graduate of the school of hard knocks, she's determined to stand on her own two feet. Arriving at the Azienda Spendora, she finds missing roof tiles, no power, and acres of neglected Amarado dessert-wine grapes ready for harvest.
Local vintner Dario Montessori wants Isabel's land. It once belonged to his family and he blames himself for losing it. He'll do anything to claim his vineyard—and only a stubborn redhead stands in his way….
Dario expects an easy surrender—yet every obstacle only stiffens her resolve. Instead of packing her bags, the plucky American hooks up propane, hauls diesel, and braves the sun-baked fields alongside the local pickers. She is ready to fight for her new home—even if her gorgeous rival makes her knees weak.
One broken-down estate. Two wounded hearts refusing to give an inch.
