GRINDER
I thought my life was over after a devastating injury in Iraq, but Pia Deltetto awakened feelings I never knew existed. When I came to Tuscany to help save her family’s winery, I didn’t expect to uncover a centuries-old mystery that could get us both killed. Now, as we race to protect Valentini from those who would destroy it, I find myself caught between duty and desire. Pia gives me hope for a future I never dreamed possible. But can our love survive the dangerous truths unraveling around us? With enemies closing in from all sides, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe. Yet as ancient curses and modern threats collide, I wonder: is our bond strong enough to withstand the weight of history?

PIA
I never expected an English soldier to be the key to saving my family’s legacy, but Miles “Grinder” Stone has turned my world upside down. What began as a desperate attempt to save Valentini has become a journey of healing and love. As we unravel a web of lies stretching back generations, I find myself falling for him in ways I never imagined. With ruthless enemies threatening everything I hold dear, can I trust the undeniable connection we share? Amidst a whirlwind of danger and deception, I must decide if our love is powerful enough to break an ancient curse and forge a new future for Valentini.

While each book in the invincibles series is a standalone with its own HEA, they may be more enjoyable read in order.
