Vintage Vengeance: The Hudson Legacy
For three generations, the Hudson family has poured their hearts into building Hudson Estate—one of Napa Valley's most prestigious wineries. But when their award-winning Legacy Collection should be their greatest triumph, they discover something someone has been systematically destroying them from the inside.
Four million dollars stolen. Equipment sabotaged. Confidential files leaked to competitors. And at the center of it all stands Vanessa Blackwell—a ruthless corporate predator with the resources, patience, and cunning to orchestrate the perfect takedown.
What begins as mysterious financial irregularities quickly spirals into a nightmare of surveillance, extortion, and betrayal. The Hudsons must confront an impossible their most trusted employees may be working for the enemy. Juan Reyes, their loyal estate manager of forty years. Tom Chen, their IT administrator. Patricia Wheeler, their senior accountant. Someone close to the family has been feeding information to Vanessa for years—but who?
As the family races to identify the traitor before Vanessa launches her hostile takeover, they face a more devastating the investigation is tearing them apart. Brother turns against brother. Suspicion poisons decades of trust. And every attempt to defend themselves seems to play directly into Vanessa's hands.
With the FBI closing in, a corporate espionage network unraveling, and their family legacy hanging by a thread, the Hudsons must decide what they're willing to sacrifice to save Hudson Estate. Because Vanessa Blackwell doesn't just want their vineyard—she wants to destroy their faith in each other and prove that family businesses are relics that deserve to be eliminated.
In this gripping thriller of corporate warfare and family loyalty, the price of victory may be higher than anyone imagined. And sometimes the greatest enemy isn't the one attacking from outside—it's the betrayal that comes from within.

Espionage on a Grand Scale!
This sequel about a California Winery privately owned by a well established family was very intriguing. The lengths that someone went to in order to destroy this family and force them into selling their enterprise were extraordinary. Espionage on a grand scale, compromised information and sophisticated surveillance tactics that was truly mind boggling. As with all books I've read by this prolific author it was enjoyable, entertaing and intriguing. A family coming together to fight back against a very evil individual all while trying to hold onto their legacy and keep their family from fracturing and falling apart. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed!

I am surprised.
I really didn't think I would like this book. I don't trust many businesses. They bombard you with advertising that you can never seem to get away from. A lot of executives in business make billions but employees sometimes are not treated fairly. I could not put this book down. It was just as exciting as any other book of mystery. It puts a different perspective on business and what a criminals can do to destroy. I find that criminals often are brilliant. Too bad they don't use that intelligence to do.good.

Vengeance
What an exciting tale of corporate espionage. This is a very well written story about a company and the family that runs a vineyard that has been in the family generations. How they overcome evil even though it costs them plenty. To watch everything unfold was truly intriguing.
