Under the California sun and surrounded by vineyards, May Desmond is finally enjoying the life she has fought so hard for. She has just acquired a winery in which she has poured all her hopes, but the imminent arrival of Prohibition threatens to ruin everything. However, she has come too far to give up. Behind her serene gaze, May hides a false identity and a history marked by pain and loss that no one knows about. From her humble origins in southern Spain to the traumatic experience of surviving the sinking of the Titanic and her time in Havana-where she experienced love and heartbreak, ambition and betrayal-the young woman has always defied the forces of fate and will not hesitate to do so again. With the fascinating landscape of the Napa Valley vineyards as a backdrop, this novel reveals a courageous woman capable of making her way in a heartless world, where secrets and emotions beat with the intoxicating force of wine.
