Where Grief Takes Root

Where Grief Takes Root is an emotionally charged contemporary romance about loss, healing, and the unexpected power of love.

Massimo is a widowed vineyard owner hardened by grief. Owner of the prestigious De Leone Vineyards, he lives surrounded by wine, silence, and memories of the woman he loved—and lost. Bound by a vow to never love again, Massimo keeps his heart sealed off from the world, believing that pain is the price of devotion.

Helena wants only one thing: peace. Scarred by a traumatic past and desperate to escape her toxic home, she accepts a job as a private cook at De Leone Vineyards, hoping distance will finally give her freedom. What she doesn't expect is the man behind the closed doors—or the connection that slowly begins to form between them.

As two broken souls collide beneath endless rows of vines, grief is challenged, old promises are tested, and buried feelings begin to surface. But loving again means risking everything, and some wounds are afraid to heal.

Some hearts close forever. Others learn how to bloom again.
