| Plot Summary of The Burning Point |
"10 years ago, Kate fled her husband and family with a secret she could never share. She was being abused in her fairy-tale, love-of-her-life marriage. Her doting father never knew and now he's made a will forcing her to live with her ex-husband for one year. Donovan has been tormented by his acts, but has almost come to terms with his abusive childhood and learned to control his anger. But will it be enough?"
Andrea Jackson, Resident Scholar
