Book Description

A Web of Treacherous deceit, and a silk heiress determined to find love in the land she calls home.

JACE BUCKLEY, the dashing British officer, has promised to return to Kingscote, bringing with him news of Coral Kendall's missing adopted son. Coral is overjoyed, but her first priority is a mission school for the untouchables on the silk plantation and the handsome Dr. Ethan Boswell has committed to fulfill Coral's dream.

Coral has long delayed choosing between the two very different men, but her impending decision is overshadowed by mysterious threats against her and the school Ethan has struggled to build. When the precious Hindi scripture portions given her by William Carey are found in ashes on the floor of her room, Coral realizes that she must somehow bridge the cultural dissension before it destroys Kingscote.

Danger follows Jace in his search for Corel's abducted son, and the boy's mysterious roots leave Jace entangled in a web of treacherous deceit. Will Jace return to Kingscote in time to claim the woman he loves? Or will the flames of hate destroy all in its path?

The Thilling Heart of India Finale!

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   2 of 9 people found the following review helpful: Cultural insensitivity, July 22, 2005 By  Avid reader (in Texas) - See all my reviews At it's finest. Of course, after reading the author info blurb and discovering that she is part of a "church-planting" group working in Kerala, I should have realised that the author would have a skewed view of any non-evangelical Christian religion. As an earlier reviewer noted, the author mis-uses Hindi honorifics, and none of the Hindu/Indian characters are particularly admirable in their behavior. The only "good" Indians in the series seemed to be "Gem" the adopted child of Coral and "Jemani", Gem's mother, who had converted too Christianity. Historical inaccuracies abound as well...the metric system wasn't adopted in France until 1795, and wasn't made compulsory in France until the 1840s. So the use of the metric units of measure by the male lead was incorrect, as the British used the Imperial standard of measure until well into the 19th and 20th century. I had a hard time reading this book, as the opinions and the inaccuracies of the author kept pulling me out of the story.
