Last Breath

A gripping romantic suspense (Blood Wine Dynasty book 2)





A romantic suspense full of witty banter, simmering tension and a larger-than-life family dynasty – Australia’s answer to Yellowstone!

Only the truth – or a ruthless killer – can tear them apart.

Jett Randall has never felt at home anywhere. By his own rules, he should have left his job driving for the Barbarani family years ago, but something – or someone – has kept him there.

Nella Barbarani believes she doesn't deserve a happily ever after. Since her family fell apart, she's avoided anyone she’s related to and embraced her nepo-baby label. But when a rival wine-making family hits the Barbarani Estate with a lawsuit that could destroy Nella's life, she's forced to let Jett bring her home.

When the Barbaranis' lawyer is found dead in Nella's law firm offices, Jett has to step in as her bodyguard while she takes over the case. As Nella digs into the lawsuit, buried family secrets emerge. The closer Nella gets to the truth, the more she dreads confirming her worst fears, and she refuses to drag Jett into their corruption – or onto a killer’s radar.

Can the villain in everyone else's story become the hero in her own?

Last Breath is a gripping and steamy opposites-attract romantic suspense that is perfect for fans of Lucy Score, Devney Perry and Catherine Cowles.

About the author

Emma Pignatiello

Emma Pignatiello wrote her debut romantic suspense novel, Last Shot, because not enough people were being murdered in the romance books she was reading. She lives by the coast in Western Australia near Walyalup (Fremantle) on the land of the Whadjuk Noongar people. In disguise at her day job, she attempts to make teenagers care more about writing than about how many days she’s worn her cringe millennial shoes in a row. Emma is dedicated to making her stories authentic – she frequented many wineries in the name of research for the Blood Wine Dynasty series but has not (yet) committed any murders.
