In Blood & Wine by Robert Tine, Alex Gates spends his days as a wine merchant catering to a wealthy clientele. But with his eye on more than just their business, he sets in motion a scheme involving one of his wealthiest customers--whose one-million-dollar necklace, locked in a bedroom vault, Alex is determined to steal. Teaming up with an ailing thief, and seducing his customer's sexy nanny, Alex waits for his plan to unfold.

But Alex didn't count on one obstacle--his stepson Jason. A handsome, troubled twenty-year-old, Jason has fallen in love with the nanny and tumbled upon his stepdad's evil scheme. When Alex's plan goes awry, and the stolen necklace unexpectedly falls into Jason's hands, a chase to the death begins.
