If you can't stand the heat...Rachel Jackson hails from one of Driscoll Lake's wealthiest families. Like her father, she became a doctor and is now a respected physician. But despite her successful career, Rachel feels something is missing from her life-until she crosses paths with Brian Nichols.The son of a hard-working mother and alcoholic father, Brian acted out when he was young, earning a reputation as a troublemaker. As an adult, he's worked hard to clean up his act and now owns a burgeoning construction company.Rachel and Brian form an unlikely friendship which begins to blossom into something more. But a series of structure fires-determined to be arson-puts Brian in the hot seat. The properties are all associated with his work, making him the prime suspect. Toss in his juvenile history, and he finds himself the focus of a tenacious investigator. Even Rachel starts to have doubts.Brian struggles to save his relationship, his company, and his reputation. But unless the real arsonist is caught before striking again, everything Brian holds dear may go up in smoke.

This is the true story of a most remarkable journey. It is told with great clarity and compassion and shows the reader that there is so much more to our existence than we think. During a silent meditation retreat, the author, Joan, became overwhelmed as memories of horrific abuse from her childhood came crashing into her conscious mind. Her psyche was fractured into a million pieces. She was thrown out of her body and into a place of golden light, incomparable peace and indescribable love. For six months, Joan remained in a trance state as she explored her true identity and the nature of her being. She shed the persona of the woman she had once been and began to rebuild her identity. She fell into the mystery of a place filled with eternal love where no single thought existed, but all knowledge was present. With great care, Joan takes you on her journey of going into herself and coming out again.
