Luck at the Diamond Fields

The Kimberley coach has barely set off when George Darrell leans toward Joe Aarons and whispers that he will throw him out if he speaks to Kate Gray again. Why has this rough-looking wanderer risked a quarrel for a stranger?

The road from Beaufort West to the Diamond Fields means days of jolting across burnt veldt, trapped among passengers who already distrust one another. Kate, newly impoverished and travelling alone to take a governess’s place, must endure the journey in the company of the leering, diamond-buying Joe Aarons—and men whose histories she can only guess at. Darrell, a worn and watchful Englishman, seems as troubled by his own past as he is angered by Aarons’s behaviour. With Kimberley still far ahead and tempers already rising, what will this uneasy company bring out in one another?
