Against the untamed beauty of breathtaking India, a haunted Scotsman and a misunderstood widow are entangled in a dangerous dance of deception and forbidden desire.

Young widow Zarmina Miller has spent her life defying expectations. Fiercely self-reliant, she has no desire to remarry and lose her freedom.

Jamie Kinross left his homeland, scarred by betrayal, vowing never to love — or trust — again.

In India he starts a new life as a gem trader, but when his mentor’s family are kidnapped as part of a ruthless plot, he vows to save them. Jamie embarks on a perilous mission across India, smuggling a priceless red diamond, stolen from a powerful Rajah.

On his journey he meets the mysterious and beautiful Zarmina. They immediately clash. But with the Rajah’s men on his trail, Jamie’s mission is as deadly as it is urgent.

Zarmina and Jamie are thrown together by circumstance and their reluctant partnership soon gives way to an undeniable attraction that burns hotter than the Indian sun.

But danger is closer than they realise, and deadly secrets threaten to shatter their fragile bond.

With betrayal looming, will they risk their hearts — or will love slip through their fingers like grains of sand?

Woven with rich historical detail, this sweeping romantic saga is filled with lush Indian settings and a love that transcends borders
