Fire Opal
Unable to hear or speak, Fiona Tilney, the reincarnation of the magnificent Fiammetta who fought bravely against the Turks in the sixteenth century, finds herself still yearning for Anthony Graham, the man who changed Fiammetta's life forever.

In the Past

She was Fiammetta, a glorious beauty of the sixteenth century who was raised from birth to join the harem of a king.

He was Anthony, handsome and brave; his strongest desire was to become a Knight of Malta -- until he met the beautiful Fiammetta.

Together they fought the enemy and fostered a love that was so enduring even Fiammetta's death could not extinguish it.

In the Present

She is Fiona Tilney, the beautiful deaf daughter of a powerful shipbuilding family in Victorian Scotland. Her silent world is people with visions of another age -- with the vision of Anthony.

He is Anton Muntz, the husband-to-be of the gentle Juliana Bainbridge, half-sister of Fiona, and heir apparent to the Bainbridge fortune.

Then one fateful day -- the day Juliana and Anton are to be wed -- Fiona and Anton meet, and the love that has withstood centuries proves too strong for either of them to resist.
