Vintage wine. Sharp wit. Deadly secrets. And one hell of a slow burn.
I came to the South of France to organize a wine auction, not trip over a dead sommelier in a private vineyard.
Now I’m neck-deep in murder suspects, vintage Bordeaux, family scandals, and a brooding detective named Xavier Dupont who smells like danger, espresso, and way too many bad decisions I desperately want to make.
He’s brilliant. He’s impossible. He glares like it’s foreplay.
And worst of all? He’s somehow immune to my signature blend of charm, sarcasm, and perfectly timed red lipstick.
There’s a killer to catch, a case that keeps twisting, and a truth buried seventeen years too deep. But between dodging suspects, avoiding my boss’s meltdown, and figuring out why Xavier looks at me like I’m both his headache and his fantasy…
I might just be falling for the grump in a perfectly tailored suit.
And spoiler alert: the body count isn’t the only thing rising.
