"Beautifully written, deeply romantic, and utterly magnificent." -Courtney Milan, New York Times bestselling author on In Search of Scandal
The winds of fate are restless and so is Mina's heart, but a brave yet brash explorer knows just how to put the wind in her sails
Seth Mayhew is the ideal explorer: fearless, profitable, and unmarried. There is nothing and no one he can't find-until his sister disappears en route to India. His search for her takes him to Bombay, where Seth meets the most unlikely of allies-a vulnerable woman who's about to marry the wrong man.
Teeming with the bounty of marriageable men employed by the East India Company, Bombay holds hope for security for Wilhelmina Adams. But when the man she's traveled halfway around the world to marry doesn't suit, Mina finds instead that she's falling in love with a man who offers passion, adventure, intimacy-anything but security...

Autorentext
Susanne Lord lives beside a beautiful pond surrounded by hawthorne trees and wildflowers. When it's quiet and no one is about, she can pretend she is taking her exercise on the grounds of an ancient, family estate. When it's not, she's reminded her family is not of the landed gentry, the pond is in the middle of Chicago, and the only adventure in her day comes in the form of emails marked 'urgent' at her advertising job. Originally from Okinawa, off-base and on, Susanne now makes her home in Illinois. When not working, writing, attending theater or reading, she travels to England, where she enjoys getting lost in the woods.
