Shadows of Eden — Linda Renee Dejong

When she makes a bid to take over a magnificent winery, a young woman finds herself thrust into a world of lies, betrayal and greed-and a devastating and illicit passion.

Returning from an annual European wine tour, wealthy vintner Ryker Thorsen stuns and outrages his family when he introduces a beautiful young stranger as his bride. But Jenna Thorsen is no newcomer to Napa Valley. Once an angry and bitter girl cheated out of her birthright, she'd fled this piece of California paradise, only to return with a secret agenda she'll let no one keep her from fulfilling -- not Ryker's hostile heirs...not even his devastatingly attractive son, Cord.

From the moment he lays eyes on her, Cord mistrusts his father's dazzling wife and vows to stay away from her. But when tragedy strikes and they're forced to work side by side, Cord and Jenna are consumed by a searing passion as sweet and intoxicating as the wine they produce. And even more dangerous than their illicit desire is a hidden menace that threatens everything that belongs to Jenna -- her wealth, her love for Cord... and even her life.
