Passion Star — Julia Grice

THE SAPPHIRE CALLED THE PASSION STAR
It was stone- mined by men and polished to brilliance- but to Adrienne McGill the six-spurred Passion Star was both magic charm and mystic curse.
It transported her out of the slums of Glasgow to training and stardom on the stage. But the girl with the radiantly pale blonde hair had stolen the treasure in the throes of rape. Now she must pay for her deed with her heart...with her loveless marriage to the bitter actor Barrett Kendall...with her growing need for the soothing balm of liquor...with the tireless vengeance of Xeno Shane, the stage magician who used Adrienne so long ago.
Only the playwright, Kristian King, could truly understand Adrienne's ambition- and bring her love. Was it too late for her? Anyway, the blue gem glittered, its mysterious star pointing to the far horizons...
