Abby was just a small-town reporter with a small-town future until a man imprisoned for a crime he did not commit begged for her help to prove his innocence. When the man is murdered, Abby realises there is much more to the man's story and it leads her down a dangerous and tragic path.

Abby must leave the past behind and become someone else to survive; to stop the man responsible for destroying her world. Like the myth, she rose from the ashes to become Phoenix.

But she may end up paying the ultimate price: her sanity or her life.

Michael Ryan's career as a police officer was all but over; then he was given the opportunity of a lifetime. He chose to turn away from all he knew, giving up on love, until he met her.

Phoenix is determined to seduce Michael in order to infiltrate his world, but her attraction for him begins to get in the way.

They both have a lot of secrets. Will those secrets destroy their love or will they be able to find a way past the lies?

Can Michael save her ... from herself?
