In the shadow of an ancient grove, passion and peril ignite.

An Englishman’s quest for the finest olive oil. A woman bound to the land she loves. A police captain with the power to upend their lives.

When a dispirited Richard Fairfax arrives at the Grand Fortuna Hotel, his search for prized Italian olive oil is quickly eclipsed by the beauty of the Sorrentine countryside – and the captivating women who cross his path.

Sofia Marino, fiercely independent and devoted to a friend’s olive grove, is wary of outsiders. Winning her trust, let alone her famously unyielding heart, will take more than English charm. But Richard isn’t the only one drawn to Sofia’s world. Capitano Isabella Rossi of the Guardia di Finanza, a woman as relentless in her pursuit of justice as she is enigmatic, has her own reasons for keeping a close eye on the grove – and on Richard.

Unbeknownst to Richard, his mission is tangled in something far more treacherous than culinary ambition. A notorious money launderer is operating too close for comfort, and Isabella is determined to bring him down. When Richard finds himself at the mercy of Neapolitan justice, alliances are tested, and loyalties shift.

As danger closes in, the lives of Richard, Sofia, and Isabella intertwine in unexpected ways. With love, trust, and freedom hanging in the balance, will they achieve their hearts’ desires, or will the Guardia’s investigation tear them apart?
