The Yield Of Us (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798249924522)

One crumbling estate. Two stubborn hearts. A legacy hanging by a vine.

At twenty-five, Alessia Castello is a survivor. After losing her parents to a tragic accident and navigating the cold reality of the foster care system since she was young, she's learned that the only person she can truly count on is herself. She has long since made peace with her past-until a surprise inheritance pulls her back to the countryside she barely remembers.

Great Aunt Teresa is gone, and she's left Alessia the Castello vineyard. But the "empire" Alessia expected is a ghost of its former glory. The villa is decaying, the soil is tired, and the business is hemorrhaging money.

Enter Dante Valenti.

The thirty-one-year-old manager is as rugged and unyielding as the land he protects. To Dante, the vineyard isn't just a job; it's a debt of honor. His grandfather helped build the Castello legacy from the dirt up, and Dante refuses to let it wither on his watch-especially not at the hands of a "city girl" who never has stepped foot on the property.

The friction between them is instant and electric. Alessia wants to modernize to survive; Dante believes the old ways are the only ways. As they clash over how to run the business, the air between them thickens with more than just animosity.

Alessia must decide if she's ready to finally root herself in one place. But as the debts mount and the pressure nears a breaking point, a haunting question remains: Will the season end in a vintage of newfound love and restoration, or will the Castello legacy finally wither on the vine?
