Marrying her was a business deal. Until he fell in love…
Alessia Alighieri has always belonged to the vines. Devoted to The House of Alighieri—her family’s centuries-old winemaking dynasty—she lives for the vineyards.
When her father insists she marry Nico Alarico to unite two powerful wine families and secure her place as a winemaker on the family estate, her world begins to unravel.
For Nico, marriage is nothing more than a strategy. To claim the CEO seat he’s coveted, he must wed the Alighieri heiress.
Accustomed to glittering, sophisticated women, he writes off his new bride as dull, rustic, and not his type.
Alessia endures and slowly (very slowly), Nico sees his wife for who she truly is, a resilient, passionate, and quietly extraordinary woman.
But when Nico doesn’t stand by her when she needs him most, Alessia decides she wants her freedom…and Nico realizes that he wants his wife.
