Her Phoenix Heart

"One of the best contemporary romances I have read this year. The only thing missing is the recipe for Tyler's Pizza Soufflé; It sounds scrumptious!" ~Tracy Farnsworth, Romance Reviews Today 

It took Beth four years to put her life back together after fleeing an abusive husband. Now she runs a tattoo business that helps others deal with disfiguring scars, bought herself a house, and has a German Shepherd for companionship. The last thing she needs is a colleague with roving hands. And she isn't ready to risk her hard-earned independence on the handsome-as-sin chauffeur who comes to her rescue and invades her dreams. 

Tyler is in no mood for diplomacy when his client accosts a woman in the back of his limousine. Leaving the bum to find his own way home is simple; what to do about the woman with hair like fire and an attitude to match is more complicated. There's no mistaking her guarded heart, yet her compassion and vulnerability touch him in a way he can't ignore. Does he have what it takes to heal the emotional scars that keep her phoenix heart from soaring? 

Set in Portland, Oregon, during the holiday season, a contemporary story about renewal of the human spirit and a second chance at love. 

"...strong heroines and heroes to die for...Cindy Hiday has created another powerfully emotional and engaging read." ~Amazon.com reviewer
