Bitter Roots

Francesca Marchetti hasn't set foot on her family's Sonoma vineyard in a decade—and she'd have kept it that way if her father weren't dying and the estate weren't thirty days from foreclosure. Determined to untangle the financial wreckage, she discovers that the rot runs far deeper than mismanagement. Her brother's betrayal is only the first layer. Beneath it lie generations of buried guilt, a ruined rival family, and a reckoning that could destroy everything—or become the foundation for something entirely new.
