Lorenzo Ricci was the kind of man people whispered about. The heir to one of Europe's most powerful wine dynasties, he ruled the Ricci Estate with quiet authority and unshakable control. Employees feared disappointing him. Competitors feared crossing him. Even his own family treated him with careful respect. For years, that was enough.
Then Sophia Bennett arrived. Warm, stubborn, and completely unimpressed by his reputation, she stepped into his carefully ordered world and refused to treat him like everyone else did. While others saw a powerful man, Sophia saw the exhaustion hidden behind his calm expression, the loneliness buried beneath his silence, and the heart he had convinced himself no longer existed. The vineyard had always been Lorenzo's sanctuary-he never expected it to become the place where he fell in love.
