From the New York Times-bestselling author, this vintage romantic thriller set on a Napa Valley winery "all but begs to be made into a TV miniseries" (Publishers Weekly).

 

A tough-as-nails reporter at NBC, Kelly Douglas is on her way to the top. Her latest story--a profile of the famed Rutledge Estate winery in Napa Valley--could make her career, but the dream assignment turns into a nightmare when it puts her face-to-face with the one man she hoped to never see again: her abusive father, Len Dougherty.

 

Len won a portion of the winery in a settlement with the family years ago. And he's been a thorn in their side ever since. Kelly can only hope he doesn't foul up her story--or her budding romance with the charming winery manager, Sam Rutledge. But when Kelly's reporting uncovers a murder at the vineyard, Len threatens to ruin her life once and for all.

 

With over 300 million copies of her novels in print, New York Times-bestselling author Janet Dailey is a legend of romantic suspense. In this page-turning tale, she brings her "mastery of sweeping romance, divided loyalties, and searing passion" to Northern California wine country (Lanier County News).
