The Lesotho Diamond ~ Book 2 of the 'Wings over Africa' series (EBOOK)

In the rugged mountains of a country on the brink of independence, one woman is torn between two futures.

Lesotho, 1962.

Philippa Tremain has meticulously planned her escape from the untamed land of her birth, securing a place in the glittering world of Cape Town society. But when a shocking betrayal and a terrifying plane crash leave her stranded with Stuart Price, a rugged pilot who awakens a passion that defies all reason, her choice becomes one of life and death.

Their desperate lie to survive the night—posing as newlyweds—plunges them into a shadowy world of illicit diamond smugglers, blackmail, and political intrigue that threatens to destroy not only their futures, but their lives.

As personal and political tensions escalate, Philippa is caught at a dangerous crossroads between loyalty, duty, and a love that could cost her everything.

A story of unparalleled authenticity, born from personal history.

Author B.G. Nettelton doesn’t just research the final, turbulent years of colonial Basutoland—she was born there, the daughter of the district's last British Commissioner. The Lesotho Diamond is drawn directly from her father's memoirs, which chronicle his own investigations into the crimes that form the backbone of this novel: illegal diamond buying and medicine-murders in a land experiencing a Wild West-style diamond rush.

This deep, personal connection to the people, the politics, and the "snow-bitten" peaks of the Maluti Mountains offers a rich, immersive experience that cannot be duplicated.

For readers who love the sweeping historical sagas of Wilbur Smith and the character-driven emotional journeys of Kate Quinn, The Lesotho Diamond is an unforgettable novel of a woman's choice, a nation's destiny, and a love that could forge a new future for them all.
