The Seductive One
by Susan Mallery

Welcome to the Marcelli family, where wine making is a family tradition and weddings are serious business. Brenna Marcelli was born to run her family's winery. At least that's what she's hoped for all her life. But after returning to the family hacienda when her marriage breaks up, she realizes her grandfather will never leave the winery to her. He's always wanted a male heir for the family business, and when a stranger from the family's past appears, it seems like he just may get his wish after all.

Left with no alternative, Brenna turns to Nic Giovanni for a loan. As if borrowing a million dollars weren't a big enough deal, add the fact that Nic and Brenna had a secret relationship a decade ago, and she jilted him, choosing her family and her chance to run the winery over loving the son of her family's nemesis.

Nic is quick to loan Brenna the money, but she doesn't know the real reason why. It's not because they've picked up their long ago passionate love affair, or because he's forgiven her, it's because he's got designs of his own on Marcelli Winery, he's just not sure how far he's willing to go for them.
