Saffron on the Wind – Paperback

One golden thread. A deadly secret. A love worth crossing oceans for.

When nineteen-year-old Marigold “Goldie” Drake arrives in Persia in 1698, she expects a reunion with her father. Instead, she discovers he is dead, his final letter was forged, and a mysterious saffron-coloured carpet may hold the key to his murder.

Determined to uncover the truth, Goldie finds an unlikely ally in Toms de Noronha, a handsome Portuguese sailor haunted by the destruction of a ship and the lives lost aboard her. He has secrets of his own, a dangerous promise to fulfil, and every reason to keep his distance from the spirited Englishwoman who refuses to be frightened away.

But as their search draws them into a deadly conspiracy of stolen fortunes, ruthless enemies and treachery on the high seas, their growing attraction becomes impossible to deny.

From the sun-scorched shores of Persia to the pirate waters of the Indian Ocean, Goldie and Toms must risk everything to expose the truth-and discover whether love can heal even the deepest wounds.

A sweeping, steamy romance filled with dangerous secrets, seafaring adventure, passionate love and a hard-won happily-ever-after.
