Book Synopsis

Lucie Montgomery''s discovery of her grandfather''s Parisian romance unlocks a series of shocking secrets in the gripping new Wine Country mystery.

In 1949, during her junior year abroad in Paris, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis bought several inexpensive paintings of Marie-Antoinette by a little-known 18th century female artist. She also had a romantic relationship with Virginia vineyard owner Lucie Montgomery''s French grandfather - until recently, a well-kept secret.

Seventy years later, Cricket Delacroix, Lucie''s neighbor and Jackie''s schoolfriend, is donating the now priceless paintings to a Washington, DC museum. And Lucie''s grandfather is flying to Virginia for Cricket''s 90th birthday party, hosted by her daughter Harriet. A washed-up journalist, Harriet is rewriting a manuscript Jackie left behind about Marie-Antoinette and her portraitist. She''s also adding tell-all details about Jackie, sure to make the book a bestseller.
