The Nazis wanted her champagne. The critics wanted her erased. Lily Bollinger refused to surrender.

1940: In occupied France, the Bollinger cellars are a battlefield. Newly widowed Lily must host the Nazi Weinführer while Resistance fighters hide in the chalk tunnels directly beneath her feet. To protect her legacy, Lily becomes a master of deception-outwitting the Reich by day and defying them by night, bound by a dangerous secret and a mysterious lover known as the Commodore.

1970: Lily reigns as the undisputed "Dame of Champagne," but the new decade brings new enemies. From triumphant tours of America to high-stakes court battles in London, she has conquered the world-yet her own house is under siege. As feuding nephews tear at the empire from within and a venomous critic dismisses her as a relic, Lily makes her move.

In her most audacious gamble, Lily forges an unbreakable bond between Bollinger and the world's most sophisticated spy: James Bond.

As her seventy-fifth birthday looms, Lily executes one final maneuver to secure her empire. But when her rarest vintage is uncorked, a long-buried truth resurfaces-proving her greatest achievement wasn't just the wine she saved, but the secrets she kept.

Two eras. One legacy. A woman who proves the finest vintages are impossible to crush.

Author: Rebecca Rosenberg believes every great woman, much like a fine vintage, deserves to be celebrated. A Sonoma Valley local, Rebecca’s mission is to shine a light on the spirited legacies of real-life women who changed the world, bringing their brilliance to modern readers with flair and inspiration. With the release of License to Thrill: Lily Bollinger, Rebecca presents the highly anticipated finale to her acclaimed, trademarked CHAMPAGNE WIDOWS series. Through these novels, she has illuminated visionaries like Lily Bollinger, Veuve Clicquot, and Madame Pommery—bold women who transformed a regional wine into a global symbol of joy.

Rebecca’s passion for history spans the globe, from the American West to the chalk caves of France. Whether she is interviewing authors for the Historical Novel Society, speaking for the National Women's History Alliance, or hosting guests at her Sonoma home, Rêve de Lavande, Rebecca ensures these women's lives are toasted by readers everywhere.
