She's in the middle of checking out a few wealthy and upscale neighborhoods, when she attends a wine-tasting event at Lothar von Rabenhorst's mansion in Montecito, which adjoins Santa Barbara. Lothar is a well-known composer and vineyard owner and for Lily, it's love at first sight.

Weeks into the relationship, and after her feelings for Lothar have deepened to an intense and binding love, Lily discovers the truth of who he really is and will find later that her life will never be the same again. The ending is heart wrenching and unique and this book, the first in the series, paves the way for many more adventures to follow.
