Five generations of tradition. One impossible choice. Épernay, France 1914. As war erupts across Europe, newlywed Sophie Méa watches her husband Jerome leave for the front, promising to be home by Christmas. A fifth-generation champenoise, Sophie is determined that their latest vintage will be a testament to their love-and to the power of the women of Épernay, who have guarded these ancient vineyards through centuries of war and peace. But as the German army advances and the years grind on, Jerome is reported missing, presumed dead. When Sophie transforms the ancient champagne cellars into an underground hospital for the wounded, she finds an unexpected ally in Charles Nash, a British chemist turned soldier. In the darkness beneath Reims, surrounded by thousands of bottles bearing witness to happier times, their connection deepens into something neither can deny. With her vineyard under bombardment and a critical sugar shortage threatening the harvest, Sophie must strike a dangerous bargain to save everything she holds dear. But when devastating news arrives about Jerome's fate, she'll face an impossible choice between duty and desire, between the legacy she's destined to protect and the love she never expected to find. Perfect for fans of Rhys Bowen and Kristin Hannah, The Champagne War weaves together the sun-drenched vineyards of France and the killing fields of World War I in an unforgettable story about love, loyalty, and the courage to fight for what matters most.
