Beware the double-edged gift of fire...

Born under the light of a falling star, Danica Linstrom is fiery in every sense of the word, from her impetuous Sagittarian nature, to her passion for helping mentally challenged children. Now she wishes she hadn't impulsively visited a palm reader. Instead of the healing light she channels to her patients, the old woman sees danger.

With the flames of a sinister prophecy licking at her heels, Danica flees to the rugged Sierra foothills, hoping Evan Hanover remembers he once invited her to work at his camp for troubled children, Camp Star-Fire.

At first, she basks in the warmth of a psychic community guided by the handsome, enigmatic Galt Anders. But soon, beneath the camp's serene veneer, she senses a plot to destroy one vulnerable, timid child she has come to cherish.

Unsure which man she can trust, Danica must trust her inborn intuition to discern which is her lover, and which is her deadly enemy. Choose wrongly, and all hope for the child's survival—and her own—will be irrevocably lost.
