"Matteo's days are a parade of parties, sparkling champagne, and... loneliness. Caught in his late father's shadow he fills the void with pretense and vices. When he gains an inherited stake in an old Italian olive grove, on the brink of failure, Matteo finds the perfect opportunity to carve out his own future. He leaves America behind for the sun and seduction of an Italian summer. One ill-fated Vespa incident later Matteo finds himself handlebar-to-face with the fiery Giuliana. The two hit it off despite Matteo's awful driving and share a scorching night with no promises for tomorrow. But they are fated for another collision, this time one of past and present. Giuliana is the owner of the farm he's desperate to take for his own and believes Matteo is a volunteer coming to help until the harvest. Unwilling to give up this chance at his future--or her--he plays into the misunderstanding until it's a full-on ruse. As Matteo learns more about Giuliana, past feuds, and where he belongs, he will have to decide which is more important: legacy or letting love grow."--Provided by publisher.
