Zoey's New Beginning

She escaped the ashes of her old life, but danger was already waiting in the roots of her new one.

In the hills outside Florence, Zoey Bianchi is finally beginning to breathe again. Alongside her fiercely loyal niece, Marti, shes built a thriving café and transformed a once-abandoned vineyard into a coveted event venue. But peace is short-lived. Someone is hunting for something buried on her land, something valuable enough to burn down everything shes rebuilt.

As if that werent enough, her controlling ex-husband isnt just fighting for custody, hes filing charges that could destroy her for good.

With the support of her fiery niece Marti, a loyal circle of misfit allies, and a slow-burning romance she never saw coming, Zoey finds herself not only confronting her past—but uncovering a buried legacy with ties to the Italian mafia, hidden ledgers, and a fortune that could change everything.

In the end, shell have to ask herself one final question:

How far is she willing to go to protect the life and the daughters, she wants to call her own?
