Eden Burning

A man of science, Chase Wilcox is drawn to the lush beauty of the island of Hawaii and the secrets it holds--while escaping the destruction of his own personal world. Here, where vibrant colors assault the senses -- and perilous fires rage unseen beneath the surface--he plans to immerse himself in his work . . . and somehow heal and forget.

A research assistant, an artist, and a dancer, Nicole Ballard also hides a secret pain. Joining Chase on an important scientific project in the verdant heart of a tropical wonderland, they both will be forced to confront their own lingering inner darkness. But in the shadows of Mount Kilauea, a passion that burns like fire will erupt, as unpredictable and dangerous as the living volcano, transforming the very landscape of their lives.
