In the heart of the lush Italian countryside, nestled among sprawling vineyards, lies the illustrious Borelli Winery, a sprawling estate known for its rich history of winemaking and a hidden world of organized crime. Rosaleen Conroy, a spirited and strong-willed young woman, toils beneath the sun-drenched vines, nurturing grapes and crafting exquisite wines, oblivious to the dangerous secrets that her workplace conceals.
Rosaleen's life takes a tumultuous turn when a dark sedan glides through the vineyard gates, and the charismatic yet enigmatic Marco Borelli, the dashing soon-to-be don of the powerful Borelli Mafia, arrives for an unexpected visit. As heir to the mafia empire, Marco has always been surrounded by danger and intrigue, but when Rosaleen finds Marco over the dead body of an unfortunate soul amongst the vines, she has no choice but to bend to the man's will.
Marco had not intended for an innocent (maybe even nosy) worker to find him in this predicament. He proposes a marriage of convenience to the unsuspecting vineyard worker. Rosaleen is thrust into a world of opulence, extravagance, and danger as she is forced to accept the proposal, aware that she cannot refuse the don without severe consequences.
As the two souls from vastly different worlds clash and collide, they must navigate a treacherous path filled with rival mafias, power struggles, and secrets that threaten to tear them apart. Despite their initial hostility, a smoldering passion ignites between Rosaleen and Marco, their fiery attraction intensifying with every stolen moment they share.
