Returning to her hometown is Nella Barbarani’s greatest nightmare. She cut ties with her family, left the family winery, and built a career on her own—without her father’s support—becoming a sought-after attorney.
But everything changes with a lawsuit filed by her competitors: it could reduce the Barbarani name to dust. Nella has to plunge back into the atmosphere of old feuds, half-truths, and dangerous secrets. And when a dead body is found in her office, it becomes clear that this isn’t only about business anymore. Someone is deliberately erasing from life everything connected to the Barbarani surname.
Nella needs protection, and her bodyguard is Jett Randall—a man with a dark past, to whom her feelings have never fully faded.
The investigation pulls them deeper and deeper: the truth becomes tangled with lies, old sins resurface, and trust turns into an unaffordable luxury. On the line are their lives, freedom, and the love they both fear to name out loud.
