Diamond Mountain — Beverley Oakley

Lesotho, 1962. Philippa Tremain's dreams of marrying into Cape Town's elite are dashed when she catches her boyfriend cheating. When an aviation mishap en route to her home in the mountains of Lesotho throws her into the arms of rugged bush pilot, Stuart Price, keen to take her mind off her romantic troubles, Philippa is smitten. Now she must choose between the lifestyle she's always hankered after—or true love. However, there is more at stake than just the couple's feelings for one another. Set against the backdrop of a small African mountain kingdom on the cusp of Independence, Stuart's honourable intentions lead him into a web of deceit, and diamond trading, his life in peril when he's held up as a symbol of White greed… Unless Philippa is prepared to risk the brilliant future for which she's worked so hard, to right the wrongs of the past, and to save a life.
