Book Synopsis



The captivating new novel from USA Today bestselling author Sarah Steele is a spellbinding book club read set in the glittering French Riviera, sweeping from the Roaring Twenties through to the dangerous days leading up to the outbreak of war.

Nestled into the pine-dusted coastline of the Cap d'Antibes is the dazzling white Château Violette. When British diplomat Lord Sinclair Castlemere, his young Jewish wife Daisy and their four-year-old son move into the château in the summer of 1938, their home becomes a beacon for the glamorous expat set - rife with gossip about the Windsors, and everyone in denial about the grumblings across the border in Italy and northern Europe.

But as Germany tightens its grip on Europe, Daisy discovers the château holds a dark past that could threaten her future. While she unravels the tragic secrets of the previous mistresses of Château Violette, war begins to rage across the continent, and soon, no one is safe - least of all Daisy...
