In a small town in Cornwall, a fighter and a
schoolteacher meet.
Dangerous. Bad News. Killer. This is
what Phoenix sees when he looks in the mirror. Shy. Timid. Afraid. This is what Eve
sees in her own reflection. But when Eve looks at Phoenix she sees a
strong, handsome, sensual man. And when Phoenix looks at Eve he sees a
beautiful, untouchable, heavenly creature. Together they will help each other
to escape the labels they have lived with for so long. Will the ghosts of their pasts return to
hinder their happiness? Or will true love lead to freedom? Phoenix
is a story of two lonely souls finding solace in one another’s hearts.
Excert from Phoenix:
On my way
home I notice ‘the man whose name is Phoenix’ in the garden at the side of his
house. He’s practicing some sort of martial art. His movements are smooth, like
liquid. It’s difficult to see past all the bushes at the front of the
structure, but as far as I can tell he is of above average height with dark
hair that manages to be both messy and neat at the same time. He’s topless and
his tanned skin shines with perspiration under the sun. His arms sway back and
forth in a practiced rhythm, and I am almost mesmerized by the flow.
His form
entrances me. I've never seen a person move like him before.
I feel
this need to get closer, to see him properly. Clumsily, I step on a fallen
branch. The second it snaps his head turns around rapidly in my direction. His
intense, dark eyes meet mine for a moment and time stops. I can’t look away. He
reminds me of a dangerous animal from the jungle when he tilts his head
questioningly to the side, as though trying to figure out what variety of
wildlife I might be. There is something about the way he looks at me that makes
my pores tingle.
And then
I can’t take the contact anymore. I hesitate only a moment longer before
running swiftly back to my cottage.
