High in the mountains of the South of France, baker’s daughter Ceci is trying to survive the war. Their village is occupied by the enemy – but even deadlier is the fact she has fallen for the one person she is forbidden to love.

Some secrets can cost lives – and with every stolen kiss in the shadow of the hillside, she risks everything.
