After her father’s sudden death, Elena Moretti returns to the crumbling vineyard estate she once fled, determined to save what remains of her family legacy. Adrian Vale, the quiet investor who has lingered in the shadows of the property for years, seems devoted to protecting both the land and her. But when fragments of a forgotten night resurface, Elena begins to question whether she was rescued from the water fifteen years ago, or whether something far more complicated pulled her under.

About the author
Beth A Depaolo
I am a storyteller drawn to the quiet tensions that live beneath ordinary moments, where memory, love, and loss shape the choices we make. My writing explores the emotional architecture of people and places, blending atmosphere with deeply human reflection. Through each story, I aim to create worlds that feel lived in, intimate, and impossible to forget.View all audiobooks by Beth A Depaolo
