A sweeping, breathtaking story of love and betrayal from the
internationally bestselling author of The Tea Planter's Wife
Ceylon, 1935. Louisa Reeve, the daughter of a successful British gem
trader, and her husband Elliot, a charming, thrill-seeking businessman,
seem like the couple who have it all. Except what they long for more
than anything: a child.
While Louisa struggles with miscarriages, Elliot is increasingly absent,
spending much of his time at a nearby cinnamon plantation, overlooking
the Indian ocean. After his sudden death, Louisa is left alone to solve
the mystery he left behind. Revisiting the plantation at Cinnamon Hills,
she finds herself unexpectedly drawn towards the owner, Leo, a rugged
outdoors man with a checkered past. The plantation casts a spell, but
all is not as it seems. And when Elliot's shocking betrayal is revealed,
Louisa has only Leo to turn to . . .
