A RITA Award Finalist Broken Dreams and Second ChancesHoned by danger and haunted by the past, Lord Michael Kenyon finds it easy to risk his life for his country's sake. But in the shadow of Waterloo, he faces a far more dangerous threat-the loss of his heart to the beautiful battlefield nurse who saves his life, yet can never be his. Called a saint for her virtue and selfless courage, only Catherine Melbourne knows the tragic flaw at the core of her spirit. In Michael Kenyon, she sees the strength and kindness she craves, yet for honor's sake she must conceal her love and send him away. Even when freed from her empty marriage, she conceals the truth because of the bleak knowledge that she can never again be any man's wife. Then fate offers Catherine a fortune, a title, a heritage for her daughter-if Michael will impersonate her husband on a visit to a wild Cornish island. Reluctantly he agrees to the masquerade. But what begins as a simple journey leads them into a shattering vortex of danger and betrayal-and a fiercely passionate love that can no longer be denied.

This novel was previously published as Phoenix Falling. It is now being rereleased under its original title The Spiral Path. The second contemporary novel by New York Times bestselling author, The Spiral Path sweeps from the distant mountains of New Mexico to the rolling hills of the English countryside in a story of love, loss, reconciliation-and the hard work of making movies. For years, Kenzie Scott was everything to Raine Marlowe-the friend she turned to for courage and comfort, the lover who touched the hidden depths of her heart, the husband she adored but never really knew.  Even as their marriage disintegrates into a civilized divorce, he helps her achieve her dream of becoming a director by agreeing to play the lead in The Centurion, the movie she has dreamed of making for years. Rainey knows the role of the mysterious, tortured hero is perfect for Kenzie-but he fears that the character's dark secrets may be dangerously close to his own.  When filming begins, Kenzie realizes that he must make peace with the tragic past he has buried for years-or lose the one woman he will love for all time. The Spiral Path was named a "Top PIck!" by Romantic Times Magazine.
