✦ Synopsis


Abandoned by her parents at a young age, Cate Claremont becomes the poor relation of a cruel aunt and a condescending cousin. When she is twelve years old, the ruggedly handsome Harrison Foster defends her from neighborhood girls. Then Harrison leaves, returning her life to its usual dormancy.

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 doesnΠ²Π‚β„’t realize that once in the diamond fields, MarcusΠ²Π‚β„’ ambition will turn to greed or that sheΠ²Π‚β„’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 sheΠ²Π‚β„’d never seen the diamond that has brought her such misery.
