1941, Nazi-occupied Paris: In the glamorous Ritz hotel there is a woman with a dangerous secret...

As Coco Chanel's assistant, Adèle lives side by side with German officers in the splendour of The Ritz hotel. But Adèle has a secret. She is working for the resistance, right under the Germans' noses.

As occupied Paris becomes more and more dangerous, Adèle will have to decide if she can risk everything to save innocent lives and protect the man she loves...

Present day: Chloé's grandmother has never spoken about the war and avoids questions about the legendary designer she once worked for.

Now Chloé has come to Paris, to uncover the truth about Adèle's life. But is she prepared for what she will find? And for the power of her grandmother's secrets to change her family forever...

An absolutely gripping and heartbreaking wartime story of the enduring power of love, for fans of The Lost Girls of Paris*and*The Nightingale.
