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 chequered 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...

Eleştirmen yorumları

Dinah Jefferies has a remarkable gift for conjuring up another time and place with lush descriptions, full of power and intensity. (Kate Furnivall)
Packed with colour, history, atmosphere and plenty of twists and turns, this is a lush, escapist read
My ideal read - I couldn't put it down (Santa Montefiore on 'The Tea Planter's Wife')
Beautifully written and heart-rending (Katie Fforde on 'The Tea Planter's Wife')
