In a land ruled by duty and diamonds, love is the most dangerous rebellion.

1962, colonial Lesotho. Philippa Tremain returns home to escape a shattered engagement, but a stormy emergency landing throws her into the arms of bush pilot Stuart Price—and the heart of a dangerous investigation. Her father, a respected District Commissioner, is chasing the perpetrators behind a string of ritual murders tied to illegal diamond trading.

As truths are unearthed in the highlands, Philippa must choose between the safe world she once longed for and the unforgiving freedom of the mountains.

Based on real-life events from the author's family history, Diamond Mountain is a richly atmospheric, slow-burn historical women's fiction novel with a beating romantic heart.
