  Sophia is the pride of the Giambelli family and excels as PR executive at the Giambelli winery. But things are about to change at Villa Giambelli. Tereza, the matriarch, has announced a merger with the Mac Millan family's winery. As a savvy businesswoman, Sophia knows she must be ready for anything...but she isn't prepared for Tyler MacMillan. They've been ordered to work together very closely, to facilitate the merger. As they toil together, both in and out of the fields, Sophia is torn between a powerful attraction and a professional rivalry. At the end of the season, the course of the company's future - and the legacy of the villa - may take an entirely new direction. And when acts of sabotage threaten both the family business and the family itself, Sophia's quest will be not only for dominance, but also for survival.
