Winemaker. Sugar Daddy, #18

Clara Hayes has spent her life building her career as a top food and wine reviewer-independent, brilliant, and unafraid to speak the truth. When she visits Luca Moretti's prestigious vineyard, she expects perfection. What she doesn't expect is the man behind it. Luca is a disciplined, emotionally guarded winemaker, devoted to his craft and fiercely protective of his legacy. Critics are his greatest threat-but Clara isn't just any critic.
She's sharp, unflinching, and completely unlike anyone he's ever met. What begins as tension and intellectual sparring quickly ignites into passion, but trust comes at a cost. When Clara's honest review threatens to expose Luca's vulnerabilities, the distance between them grows. Can love survive ambition, pride, and fear of losing oneself?In a world of fine wine, indulgent flavors, and high stakes, Winemaker is a slow-burning romance about finding love in unexpected places, learning to trust, and discovering that some risks are worth taking.
Perfect for fans of wealthy, sophisticated heroes, passionate slow-burn romance, and the allure of vineyard luxury.
