THEY CALL HIM THE BEAST OF NAPA. There are many stories around Nathaniel Griffin, the elusive and demanding vintner of Napa Valley, but Catriona will be the one to learn the truth. Forced to work in Griffin's vineyards, Catriona will find that his heart is much more complex than it seems, with a dark past that tangles his humanity. As the Prohibition threatens his business and underground criminals threaten his home, she learns that innocence and cold-heartedness are not always what they seem... A mix of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and THE GREAT GATSBY, this story is about the beauty of innocence and the darkness of perspective within us all.
