Elise would do anything to inherit Sainte Madeleine, the vineyard that's been home to the Salignacs for generations. Only Laurent Senard, a distant cousin, is a rival for her heart - yet when a family rift sends her on a new and dangerous path, she risks losing them both... Alexandre, Elise's brother, can't bear to see their capricious father put the vineyard - and Alex's birthright - in jeopardy. He leaves to carve out his own fortune in the rich hills of Napa, California. But will turning his back on the chateau be his biggest mistake?
