The Distiller's Proof
Description
One summer in Tuscany was supposed to be a beautiful escape. For Cora Vance, it was where she fell for Luca, a man with rough hands, a soulful laugh, and a "simple" life tending vines. But when a positive pregnancy test changed everything, Cora fled back to Georgia, unwilling to tether a struggling worker to a life he couldn't afford.
Three years later, Cora is the lead blender at a boutique distillery in Perry, Georgia, raising a daughter with the same striking golden eyes as the man she left behind. Her quiet world is shattered when the distillery is bought out by Lorenzo "Luca" Moretti?the billionaire "King of Spirits" recently featured on the cover of Forbes.
Luca isn't in Georgia for the bourbon. He's there for revenge. He believes Cora left him because he wasn't "rich enough," and he's determined to show her exactly what she missed out on. But when he sees the little girl hidden in the blending lab, the bitter vintage of his anger turns into something far more dangerous: a desire to claim what's his.
