The Legacy (Harper Monogram)

Rating:
Summary: Absorbing mystery with a ghost/past-life twist .
Review: Once upon a time, Niccolo Cavanetti was the dirt-poor, overworked heir of a struggling vineyard. All he wanted was to leave & see the world--and when he did, his father disinherited him. Thirteen years later, he returns on sick leave as the famous football star Cole Nichols. Unfortunately, his greedy stepmother & half brother will do/say anything to keep everything for themselves. To Jessica Ward, Cole is still the boy next door & the one she loves. Still, even she can't explain his disturbing dreams & sudden blackouts. What about the 'monk' who keeps popping up--is he really the Guardian of the St. Benedict Riesling, or is he the cause of several recent murders in the area?
