Description

War correspondent Paige Munroe still has nightmares about her partner's death in Afghanistan. Her family secures her a seemingly safe assignment: writing and photographing a book about an exciting, new wine region. Against her better judgment, Paige becomes romantically entwined with winemaker and smuggler Nicholas Alder.

Her investigation soon puts her in jeopardy as Simone Cuccerra, the ruthless owner of a multinational company, continues to buy up family-run wineries and to crush anyone who stands in her way.
