Phoenix Heart — Carolyn Nash

By the author of THE TRUNK KEY, RAISING ABEL, and LOVE IS STRONG AS DEATH, a new romantic adventure, PHOENIX HEART. After surviving a brutal childhood, it's hard work that has brought Melanie Brennan the good things in life: college and being accepted into a prestigious graduate school. Even so, she clings to the belief that it will be magic that will bring her true love. But it's not magic that pulls her into a life or death struggle alongside her too-handsome professor, Andrew Richards, to find evidence to clear him of charges that he blew up his lab to cover fraud. As they fly to San Francisco and struggle to find their way to the other side of a nightmare of violence, it's belief in her own courage and strength that leads her to love.
