Synopsis:
Upon inheriting her family's renowned Tuscan vineyard, Gianna Rossi is unwittingly thrust into a realm of intoxicating temptations and preternatural mysteries. She soon discovers the estate's coveted vintages owe their distinct bouquet to the beguiling essence of Ezio—an immortal being who has been bound to the Rossi bloodline for centuries through an ancient, profane pact.

Yet, part of Gianna is also intoxicated by the searing oblivion Ezio represents.

Salvation may lie in unleashing her own burgeoning power to resist Ezio's beguiling hungers. But part of Gianna craves the searing oblivion he offers—even if the final price is her eternal soul.
