VILLA, THE by Nora Roberts - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOK
See all titles by Nora Roberts.Sophia Giambelli has never had to worry about competition. For three
generation, the Giambelli wines have been renowned for their quality-
from Napa Valley to Italy, and throughout the world. The pride of the
Giambelli family, and a top PR executive, Sophia loves her job- and
excels at it.
But things are about to change at Villa Giambelli.
Tereza, the matriarch, has decreed that a merger will take place with
the MacMillan family's winery- and Sophia will be taking a new role. As a
savvy business-woman, she knows she has to be prepared for
anything...but she isn't prepared for Tyler MacMillian. They've been
ordered to work together very closely, to make the merger as smooth as
possible. Sophia must teach Ty the finer points of marketing and
promotion- and Ty, in turn, shows her how to get down and dirty, to use
the sun, rain, and earth to coax the sweetest grapes from the vineyard.
But 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 survival....
