Diamonds in the Night — Catherine Linden

When Victorian beauty Olwyn Moore found herself in the savage wilderness of South Africa, she was penniless, abandoned by the man she loved. Never did she dream that the worthless pebble in her possession was actually a priceless diamond, or that it would lead her into both danger and desire. Caught up in the furor of an empire in the making, trapped in the ruthless schemes of fortune hunters, Olwyn longed fore the virile lover who'd taken her innocence, for the blazing passion that would light their hearts.
