Samara is a proud, fierce and deeply independent gypsy girl, feared by the local people who suspect she is capable of witchcraft. Used to living a lonely existence on the edge of the moorland, Samara fears nothing, and no one. But when pretty Dilys Linden asks her for a fortune reading, Samara finds herself embroiled in a series of events that will change her life forever ...
Sir Anthony Linden, in pursuit of his ward and her gypsy lover, blames Samara for their disappearance. Linden believes the couple have stolen a valuable ruby and forces Samara to accompany him on a long and hazardous journey to recover them. Travelling to Italy, where violence and danger abound, the attraction between them is impossible to deny, but can there be any future in a passion that crosses so many boundaries?
