He’s the rugged cousin with too many tattoos, too many secrets, and too many responsibilities as new manager of Tenuta Valenti. In the sun-soaked vineyards of Napa, he’s a storm in denim and ink—a man who’s learned to cover everything he can’t control. When a lost twenty-one-year-old stumbles into his path, he decides it’s fate. Tilly only meant to spend one summer in Napa before grad school—long enough to make peace with her estranged father, not long enough to fall for the man who seems to be everywhere she turns. She tells herself it’s lust, but the more time she spends with Enzo, the deeper she falls—even as she begins to see the parts of him he hides from everyone else. When the truth about how far he’s gone to keep her finally comes out, Tilly walks away for space she’s not sure she wants. But one secret—one she can’t ignore—pulls her back to him. And this time, walking away isn’t an option. For mature audiences. Please see content warnings inside. less
