Tereza Giambelli is the matriarch of a family renowned for their wines. Her husband, Eli MacMillan, owns the neighboring winery. Tereza and Eli have decided to merge their companies together and want the next generation to take over the reins. Tereza's granddaughter, Sophia Giambelli Avano, and Eli's grandson, Tyler MacMillan, will now work together to learn every aspect of the business, so they can take over in the future. Some family members and employees are upset by the announcement. They believe they should be next in line to head the company. This leads to back-stabbing and murder.

I shouldn't have waited so long to read this romantic suspense book by Nora Roberts. Even though I thought it was a bit bloated with descriptions of the vineyards and the things that go into making wine, I loved watching how the news of the merger impacted the many family members who work for the company. When someone turns up dead, there were many suspects to weed through. On top of that, we had two very interesting romances in this story. My rating: 4 Stars.
