The soil of the Delacroix Vineyard tasted like rust and regret.
Clara hadn’t set foot in Napa Valley for a decade—not since her mother’s funeral. But the letter demanding her return—“Come home or lose everything”—left no room for refusal.
Back on the family estate, she stumbles upon her estranged father’s journal, its brittle pages whispering secrets of a buried past. A long-forgotten pact. A rival family. A murder hidden in the shadows of Prohibition.
As Clara digs deeper, she finds an unexpected ally in Mateo Rivera, the vineyard’s enigmatic foreman. But his connection to the mystery runs deeper than she imagined—his grandfather’s name is scrawled in the margins of the journal, marked as the accused.
With the harvest approaching, tensions boil over. Fields burn in the dead of night. A storm churns on the horizon. And Clara must make an impossible choice: expose the truth and risk the vineyard’s ruin, or protect the family name at the cost of justice.
Everything comes to a head in the wine cellar at midnight, where past and present collide in a single, life-altering decision.
Because legacy isn’t just what you inherit. It’s what you choose to keep—and what you’re willing to let go.
