About The Book:

The Untold Story of Lily Bollinger

The Nazis wanted her wine. The critics wanted her downfall. To save a dynasty, Lily Bollinger needed a secret weapon.

1940: THE RESISTANCE In an occupied France, where a wrong word means death, newly widowed Lily Bollinger faces the Nazi Wein Führer across her dining table while Resistance fighters hide in the chalk

tunnels of her cellars. To save her heritage, she becomes a master of deception—protecting her vines by day and defying the Reich by night. In the shadows of war, she forges a resolve of steel and a clandestine bond with a man known only as the Commodore.

1967: THE COUNTER-ATTACK Lily is crowned the Dame of Champagne, but her empire is a house divided. While she fights to train her three quarrelsome nephews to take the helm, their infighting threatens to achieve what the Nazis couldn’t: the ruin of Bollinger. The danger peaks when the poisonous critic Cyril Ray dismisses Lily as an “aging widow,” and one of her own nephews unwittingly invites the enemy into her inner sanctum. To silence the critics and outmaneuver her own kin, Lily launches a daring partnership with a cinematic icon: James Bond. By making Bollinger the choice of 007, she bets her entire legacy on a move that turns a family business into a global legend.

1975: THE FINAL RECKONING On her seventy-fifth birthday, Lily must execute one last, daring maneuver to secure the succession and protect her name. But as the first bottle of her masterpiece, Vieilles Vignes Françaises, is uncorked, a secret key arrives from her own “James” —the keeper of her hidden truth. In a heart-rending twist, Lily proves that her greatest vintage wasn’t her Champagne—it was the secret she kept from everyone to protect her empire, and the man she loved.

A gripping saga of the woman who survived the Nazis, conquered the critics, and proved that a legend is the most dangerous thing of all.
