Abandoned and placed in a children's home at three months old, Ben Williams had a solitary childhood. Now serving as an Able Seaman on the SS Victoria, Ben had been drawn to Kate Mills, a passenger on the SS Victoria, from the moment he first saw her. When Kate falls overboard during a violent tropical storm, Ben doesn't hesitate in risking his own life and dives into mountainous seas to try and rescue her. Washed ashore on a deserted tropical island, all Ben's skills are needed to ensure they survive.
Exploring one day, they are forced to flee from a rapidly approaching tidal wave and cyclone. Running wildly, the ground suddenly gives way under their feet, tumbling them into underground cave. Later, Ben discovers that the storm has uncovered a hoard of stones which he believes are uncut diamonds.
Rescued from the island and back in England, Kate's family are overjoyed to be reunited with her and are eager to meet the man who saved her. When Ben and Kate announce that they intend to get married, Kate's family are delighted to welcome Ben into their lives and their hearts, giving him something he thought he would never have...a sense of belonging.
When the stones are confirmed as diamonds, what Ben does next will shape the lives of many people.

In the age of the Grand Tour, foreigners flocked to Italy to gawk at its ruins and paintings, enjoy its salons and caf?s, attend the opera, and revel in their own discovery of its past. But they also marveled at the people they saw, both male and female. In an era in which castrati were "rock stars," men served women as cicisbei, and dandified Englishmen became macaroni, Italy was perceived to be a place where men became women. The great publicity surrounding female poets, journalists, artists, anatomists, and scientists, and the visible roles for such women in salons, academies, and universities in many Italian cities also made visitors wonder whether women had become men. Such images, of course, were stereotypes, but they were nonetheless grounded in a reality that was unique to the Italian peninsula. This volume illuminates the social and cultural landscape of eighteenth-century Italy by exploring how questions of gender in music, art, literature, science, and medicine shaped perceptions of Italy in the age of the Grand Tour.
