The Dark Fire

The year is 1972 and a naive young woman is fascinated by a charismatic older man who arrives in the secluded mountain cove where she's grown up. Her fantasies of leaving, seeing more the world, leads her to ask for a ride to Nashville with the stranger -- and when her dreams of becoming an airline stewardess fail, she begins traveling with him. They fall in love, but eventually she discovers he has a dark past that threatens to destroy them both. Part folklore (Robin Hood), part love story, this is not your usual romantic suspense novel.
