Bright Honor — Phyllis Halldorson

HE THREW HIS TALENTS TO THE WIND....

When Marianne went to northern California for a new job, she was enthralled by the forested hills and meadows.

But for her new boss, Scott Hammond, his country home was a place in which to hide from the world and retreat from broken dreams.

Scott had been hurt in the past, and at one time his bitterness had inspired his best-selling novels. Now his cynical view threatened to taint his work, his ethics and his honor.

Prompted by a powerful love for Scott and a firm belief in the truth, Marianne set out to prove that honor had to be earned, day by day, until it shone with a brightness that could never be tarnished.

Hero: Scott Hammond
