A feisty heiress with a business in danger. A silver-tongued winemaker with his eye on the prize. And a historical feud that threatens to destroy them both. San Francisco, 1870. Sugar heiress Leilani Manolo is determined to keep the business afloat after her grandfather's death. But when a key contract is cancelled, her attempts to secure a new deal with an influential import agent meet with a firm rejection. And though she's in competition with a charming French winemaker, they're thrown together in chaotic circumstance when the dealer is murdered in front of their eyes. Vintner Aristide Laurent is desperate to avoid more scandal. Craving the prestigious contest win needed to get his vintages into New York and Paris restaurants, he can't afford to involve himself with the stunning Hawaiian accused of murder. But despite his best efforts, he finds himself ensnared in her affairs. Implicated in the killing and driven to save her family's livelihood, Leilani digs deep into a complex conspiracy. And although Aristide endeavors to help, he's forced to fight for his career when his good name is threatened by a shady cabal. Will their struggles to succeed lead them to a tragic end, or can they find a happily ever after?

Autorenporträt
Jenny Wheeler is a former New Zealand newspaper and magazine editor and author of popular historical mysteries set in late 1860 and 1870s California. The Of Gold & Blood series made up of ten books, published 2018 - 2021, followed by the Homes At Last series, Sadie's Vow, Book 1 in the Home At Last series, first book published March 2022 and more coming. When she's not writing Jenny loves best to be outside in nature, in her Auckland garden or caravan at Whitianga on the Coromandel peninsula. She's a beginner beekeeper and a sometime genealogist (when she has time which is hardly ever.) Her DNA samples linked through ancestry.com appear to show Eleanor of Aquitaine is her great grandmother 26 generations back - which she finds utterly fascinating.
