Description
His voice enthralls her. Her vibrancy awakens him.
Ashley White can’t wait to begin her internship at Steel Vineyards. As an oenology doctoral candidate, she knows all the theory but lacks practice. Working under renowned winemaker Ryan Steel—and his equally talented nephew, Dale—is an opportunity she can’t refuse.
Dale Steel is a loner. Despite his huge family full of uncles, aunts, and cousins, he’s more at home in his vineyards, where he finds something that comes close to the tranquility he craves. He’ll never find true peace, and he’s accepted his fate…until his new intern shows up and turns the only world he knows upside down.
Ashley awakens emotions in Dale that he never dreamed possible, and though he resents her intrusion into his life, he can’t deny the sparks that blaze between them. Still, he must remain distant. To succumb to his growing feelings would provoke something else entirely—the darkness he keeps hidden even from himself.

5By Alicia G~LHelen Hardt never lets me down. I absolutely ADORE this series. This book ended with a Cliffhanger leaving me needing and anxiously awaiting the next book. BRAVO Helen!Not her best
2By Njs3113I was certainly expecting a Talon and Jade kind of heat. Instead I was bored throughout the book. Passed through pages. Redundant. It got hot the last 100 pages, and now we must wait until March to see what happens. That book better sizzle. Hoping it’s not redundant thoughout each page. Snooze fest.Steel Boring Man
2By snooze bookIt was boring. No real story. Dragged on with the same things said over and over. I thought it was written by a different writer! Plus the book didn’t end!Awakened

4By Dr. KRFGreat story line! I’m glad readers get a chance to read about the offsprings’ adult lives. Wow, Dale is definitely a character and Ashley is his perfect match. I love the comical commentary and we have the opportunity to about the characters we have come to love lives as parents. Im looking forward to reading more about Dale and Ashley; I have an idea about Ashley’s past and wonder if I’m right? I don’t know if it will be in the story line for the next books, but It don’t hurt to wander! Looking forward to reading the next books and anxiously waiting. KRFI’ve been Awakened
