Cinnamon on the Wind

She came to Ceylon to draw cinnamon trees. She never expected to fall in love with a man marked for the gallows.

Ceylon, 1696. When gifted botanical artist Sera Aldous arrives in the Dutch-controlled port of Galle, she expects a quiet commission illustrating the island's precious cinnamon groves. Instead, she discovers missing trees, suspicious records, and a dangerous secret hidden beneath the Company's prosperous spice trade.

Darius Jamshedji is a handsome, enigmatic merchant captain accused of smuggling-and a man the authorities are determined to hang. He warns Sera to stop asking questions. Unfortunately for him, she has never been particularly good at doing as she is told.

As their unexpected attraction deepens, Sera finds herself caught between a powerful trading empire and the man who may be its most convenient scapegoat. With corruption reaching into the highest offices and innocent lives hanging in the balance, her drawings may hold the evidence that could save them both.

But exposing the truth could cost Sera everything-including the man who has stolen her heart.

A sweeping historical romance filled with forbidden love, dangerous secrets, tropical intrigue, and the courage to fight for what is right.
