Beneath the Lemonwood Tree

In The Winds of Change, Melonie Whitaker survived a brutal farm attack and escaped her captor, Colonel Solomon Tlale, whose blood oath of revenge cast a shadow over her every step. Now, in Beneath the Lemonwood Tree, Tlale’s fury has only deepened. Enraged by the outcome of the court case, he vows that Melonie will not escape him again. From his office in Harare, surrounded by wealth and whisky, he orchestrates a campaign of terror—sending spies, puppets, and assassins to target everything Melonie holds dear: her family, her employees, and even her beloved horses. Through devastating loss and relentless fear, the Whitakers fight to endure. But as Tlale’s obsession tightens its grip, the wheel begins to turn. This time, the hunter may find himself the hunted.
