These Tangled Vines by Julianne McLean
On her deathbed, Fiona's mother told her a secret and made her promise never to tell her father Freddie. Years later, Fiona gets a call from an Italian lawyer, informing her that her biological father (not Freddie) has died and left her an inheritance, but she needs to come to Italy for the reading of the will. Oh, and he's also left her a stepmother and two half-siblings who didn't know Fiona existed and are resentful about it, understandably, when they learn that she is going to inherit a chunk of their father's estate.
Although there are family secrets (who doesn't love a good family secret), there was a lot more romance than anything else. The first half of the book is pretty good, but once the flashbacks start in the second half, the story becomes predictable. There are good descriptions of food, wine, and Tuscany.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an eARC.
