WOUNDED HEART, HEALING LOVE

Dr. Hallie Gardiner knows something is terribly wrong with the handsome, haunted-looking man in the great San Francisco mansion. The Civil War had wounded Jake "Young Midas" Parrish, just as it had left Serena, his once-beautiful bride, hopelessly lost in her private universe. Tall, unconventional Dr. Hallie has come to Jake's privileged yet empty world, asking for money to keep her hospital open. But when Serena is found mysteriously dead, Hallie, the woman, finds herself falling in love with Jake, the suspect.

Can Jake be proven innocent? Can Hallie make him whole again? Can she make him hers? It takes desire's fire and the heart's wisdom for Hallie and Jake to defy the dark tragedy surrounding them...and to keep them holding fast to love's glorious promise.
