The Heart of the Sun
She'd seen the omen of change
Kimberly was too wrapped up in heartache to give much thought to the significance of a ghost-white squirrel's appearance. But Australian folklorist Alec Shaughnessy's presence was another matter.
She resented him for forcing her to see that the feelings she'd once called love were as insubstantial as shadows. Just as she resented him for encouraging her aunt to reminisce about her youth at the court of a powerful Indian rajah, where greed and treachery had surrounded the mysterious disappearance of a priceless topaz.
Change had come to Eureka Springs. Alec had brought it. And none of them might ever be the same again.

About the author
Bethany Campbell
97 books23 followersSally McCluskey (aka Bethany Campbell) was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, as an only child. She attended college beginning as a chemistry major, after quickly switching her major to English. She obtainded a B.A. from Wayne State Teachers College, and an M.A. in English from the University of Arkansas. She met her husband, Dan Borengasser, while both were graduate students at Northern Illinois University, where she obtained a Ph.D. in English.
Sally taught and in her spare time wrote, but after marriage, the couple moved to an area where teaching jobs were scarce, and she turned to writing full time. She wrote poetry, articles, short stories, and contributed to textbooks, but finally decided to try a romance novel at the urging of her mom and aunt, both avid romance fans. To Sally’s amazement, Harlequin bought her story After the Stars Fall and published it in 1985 under the pseudonym Bethany Campbell. She has also written as Lisa Harris. She has won three Romance Writers of America (RWA) RITA Awards, three Romantic Times Reviewer Awards, a Maggie Award, and the Daphne du Maurier Award of Excellence.
She lived with her husband in northwest Arkansas. Her husband, who serves as Vice President of Ozark Film & Video Productions, also writes, and has had several short films and plays produced.

This isn't what I normally enjoyed reading, but it was worth the time.
