You have to be willing to take a risk for love . . .
Trial by Fire is a powerful story about love’s ability to burn us and the courage it takes to open your heart again, from the billion-copy bestseller Danielle Steel.
Dahlia de Beaumont is the CEO of an iconic perfume and cosmetics company based in Paris. Tragically widowed at thirty, she brought her four children up alone. Now in her fifties, she guards her heart by burying herself in work, motherhood and a long-term yet casual relationship with a married man.
Travelling for business, Dahlia is left stranded in San Francisco when terrible wildfires break out, causing widespread death and destruction. Touched by stories of the injured animals, Dahlia volunteers at a pet rescue centre in Napa Valley, where she meets Mark Hamilton, a handsome lawyer who has also been wounded by love in the past.
But when Dahlia is involved in a serious accident and seeks Mark’s legal counsel, they spend time together and grow close, feeling a spark that both thought they never would again.
Can Dahlia put all her cards on the table and find the strength to love again?
