The Queen of Diamonds
Juliet Moore
Eight years later, Cate meets Marcus Watson, the third son of middle class parents. Just like Cate, Marcus yearns for a better life. When Cate receives the gift of a diamond from her estranged parents, she and Marcus decide to marry and use the diamond to fund their own dig in Kimberley, South Africa. Only Cate doesn’t realize that once in the diamond fields, Marcus’ ambition will turn to greed or that she’ll be reunited with Harrison when her husband mysteriously disappears. Soon Cate finds herself torn between forbidden love for Harrison and loyalty to Marcus, and she wishes she’d never seen the diamond that has brought her such misery.
