    About this ebook

    A man seeking his destiny in India discovers a woman who may hold it in her hands—and her frozen heart—in this “well-crafted historical romance” (Historical Novels Review).
     
    It’s 1759—and Jamie Kinross has travelled far and wide to escape his troubled past, eventually settling in the chaotic streets of Madras, India, where he starts life anew as a gem trader.
     
    When his mentor’s family is kidnapped, Jamie vows to save them, embarking on a dangerous mission to the city of Surat—where he encounters Zarmina Miller. She is rich, beautiful, and so cold and prideful that she is known as the “Ice Widow.” Jamie is instantly tempted by the challenge she presents.
     
    And when Jamie discovers that Zarmina has a connection to those involved in the kidnapping, he begins to see another side to her—a dark past to rival his own and a heart just waiting to be thawed . . .

      Yes it is a part of a series and yes you can read it as a stand alone. Book 1 is about his mother, book 2 is about his brother and this being book 3 is about him.

      There are evil women, and then there are Evil Women. Jamie was married to one nasty piece. But she died and he left to start a new life. It brings him to India. I can't say I have read a lot of books taking place in India during this time, honestly have I read a single one? Perhaps not about this century. The English are there, the French are there. Raja's rule and it's a melting pot just like today.

      Jamie was good, I understand why he did not like women because arghh, she was evil. He works in the gem trade and he has a good eye.

      Zarmina I did not like at once. But she is the Ice Queen after all. And the more I got to know her the more I understand that icy exterior. And she will never fit in really either, being mixed blood. I liked her brain, she knew business, and I liked her will to be free. Who needs a husband who will only rule you?

      These two are thrown together and fights against the attraction. The plot at large is about a missing jewel and they both get mixed up in some shady business before they can get a happy ending. Because even if this is not straight up romance, I can still promise you that.

      A romance set to the backdrop of India in the 1760s. Danger and love promised.
