About this ebook
Escape to the South of France in this compelling and atmospheric story of secrets and heartbreak
'Lovely, mouth-watering, page-turning. Packed with the sunshine, scents and savours of the South of France. Enough to make you rush straight to the Eurostar' Daily Mail
**From the bestselling author behind Channel 5's Carol Drinkwater's Secret Provence**
_________
The grape harvest at the Cambon family's magnificent Provencal vineyard is always a cause for celebration.
But not this year.
When the crop is accidentally destroyed, leaving the estate facing ruin, Clarisse Cambon knows exactly who to blame - her English daughter-in-law Jane.
It's just the latest incident in a decades-long feud that has left Jane feeling like an uninvited guest in her husband Luc's family. But when tragedy strikes and Jane uncovers a shocking secret at the family's heart she wonders if she ever really knew any of the Cambons, especially her husband, at all.
Now she is left with a terrible choice - walk away and see everything the Cambons believe in fall apart, or stay to expose the truth and risk being caught in the storm?
