Queen in the Shadows

Fleeing her husband's mysterious death in Oxford, Charlie adopts a new identity as Celine Dupont and escapes to France. In Marseille, she enjoys the city's pleasures, a brief Mediterranean cruise, and a liberating encounter, but her past continues to haunt her.

As Celine grows in confidence, she embraces the vineyard's vibrant community and begins to learn about the delicate art of vine-tending. Yet, her lustful and passionate relationship with a manager and the secrets she carries force her to confront a crucial choice: will she return to England as Libby Wilkinson to face her past, or remain forever hidden in the shadows?
