The Fire and the Gold

Fire was creeping closer to Melora's comfortable world the day a violent earthquake turned beautiful San Francisco into a burning, smoky nightmare. Melora had been about to make a crucial decision about her life and her love -- her thoughts were swirling around handsome Quent Seymour of Nob Hill -- until fate intervened. Amid the angry flames of a crumbling city, Tony Ellis appeared. Suddenly Melora found herself plunged into a whirlpool of romantic conflict from which there was only one secret escape, and that secret was locked in her heart. Against a vivid backdrop of the great San Francisco earthquake, Phyllis Whitney weaves a tale of love and danger. With a career spanning over 75 years, she has written 76 books, about 100 short stories, and countless articles for magazines. The "American queen of the Gothics" has been published in more than thirty foreign countries, and more than 50 million copies of her books are in print in paperback alone.Phyllis A.
