Bone China

A FORBIDDEN LOVE. A DANGEROUS EMPIRE. A SECRET THAT COULD DESTROY THEM ALL.

Guangzhou, 1892. Liam Baines is the heir to a vast bone china empire, his future already written: marry the wealthy Victoria Montague, merge two great fortunes, and secure his family's legacy for generations.

But Liam's carefully planned world shatters when he meets Mei-Lin, a quiet servant girl with a mysterious past. She is beneath his station, invisible to society-yet she is the only person who has ever made him feel alive.

As their forbidden love deepens, Victoria's jealousy turns to obsession. She will stop at nothing to destroy the woman who has stolen her fiancé, even if it means ruining Liam in the process.

Desperate to escape, Liam and Mei-Lin flee Guangzhou, traveling through the treacherous canals of China toward Shanghai. Their only hope for a new life lies aboard the steamer Bokhara-a ship sailing into the heart of a typhoon that will change everything.

Set against the exotic, dangerous backdrop of 1890s China, BONE CHINA is a sweeping historical romance of passion, betrayal, and the courage to follow your heart-even when it means losing everything.

A tale of empire and sacrifice, of East meeting West, of love that dares to cross the boundaries of class and culture. For fans of Memoirs of a Geisha and The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane, BONE CHINA will sweep you into a world of porcelain, secrets, and forbidden desire.
