  A WOUNDED HERO...
  A WOMAN WITH SECRETS...
  A KILLER LURKING IN THE MISTS...
  SCANDAL, LOVE, AND THE HAND OF FATE...
   
  Captain Ian Bell is a tortured man fighting through grief and guilt over the loss of his sister. Now, three years later, Ian still hunts for her murderer in the dangerous criminal underworld of Edinburgh. Then one night, a young woman narrowly escapes death and lands at his feet...his late sister's best friend, Phoebe Pennington.
  Lady Phoebe Pennington—dreamer and storyteller to her family—is a committed reformer writing articles anonymously for an Edinburgh newspaper. One night, Phoebe descends into the corrupt and seething netherworld known as the Vaults. When she tries to save a street urchin from an assailant, she becomes the target of a violent attack, only to be saved by the one man she has desired for years.
  Ian's attraction to Phoebe is as undeniable as it is unexpected, and she awakens in him passions he thought long dead. Phoebe's blood burns for Ian, but when she learns that he may be implicated in the scandal she is set on exposing, she finds herself torn between love and truth. But fate is taking a hand, for Phoebe is the only one who has seen the face of the killer, and the shadows of evil are closer than they imagine.

  “This brilliant fictional biography of Saint Teresa of Ávila breathes new life into a sacred subject” (Booklist).   She is Saint Teresa—known as a mystic, reformer, and founder of convents, and the author of numerous texts that introduced her radical religious ideas and practices to a society suffering through the repressive throes of the Spanish Inquisition. In Bárbara Mujica’s masterful tale, her story—her days of youthful romance, her sensual fits of spiritual rapture, secret heritage as a Jewish convert to Catholicism, cloak-and-dagger political dealings, struggles against sexual blackmail, and mysterious illness—unfolds with a tumultuous urgency. Blending fact with fiction in vivid detail, painstakingly researched and beautifully rendered, Mujica’s tale conjures a brilliant picture of sisterhood, faith, the terror of religious persecution, the miracle of salvation, and of one woman’s challenge to the power of strict orthodoxy, a challenge that consisted of a crime of passion—her own personal relationship with God.   “This engaging novel depicts Teresa of Ávila as an extraordinary woman whose visions, church reform ideas and writing may well have been inspired by God . . . Surprisingly light and entertaining.” —Publishers Weekly   “A lifelong friend remembers Teresa of Ávila, ‘Spain’s most beloved saint,’ in this richly entertaining historical novel from Mujica . . . An earthy, humanizing portrait.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)   “Mujica brings this tumultuous time in history to vivid life. A very interesting and compelling novel which focuses more on Teresa’s entire life rather than simply her religion.” —Historical Novel Society
