The Phoenix Charm
by Helen Scott Taylor
HE’S PURE TEMPTATION.
Cordelia has sworn she’ll abstain from looking into Michael’s future—particularly when the image in the gilded smoke of her divination mirror shows him half naked. Yet she can’t resist watching the sexy rascal slowly running his hand down his ribs, over his abdomen, flicking open the button on his jeans with a little flourish like a magician performing a trick.
SHE’S TRYING TO RESIST.
Respectable wise woman Cordelia restrains her secret water nymph sensuality with the Celtic symbols painted on her skin. But Michael’s powerful fairy glamour leaves her breathless, off balance, struggling for control. When Gwyn ap Nudd, the Welsh King of the Underworld, steals away Michael’s infant nephew, Cordelia must work with him to save the child. But how can she trust her instincts with Michael tempting her to explore the hidden elemental depths of her nature and insisting that she believe in the power of...The Phoenix Charm.

Helen Scott Taylor's Bio
When I was a little girl, I used to write stories about my teddy bear and soft toy rabbit:Bingo and Charlie. These two deceptively innocent little creatures didn't spend their time enjoying dolls' tea parties or playing with their friends like normal toys. Bingo and Charlie fought off alien invasions, battled the fairies at the bottom of the garden and generally had a smashing time and horrified my teachers.
After earning a degree in Botany and Zoology from London University, I dabbled in accountancy and then worked in sales and marketing in the pharmaceutical industry. Twenty years ago, I discovered my entrepreneurial spirit and set up a business with my husband providing a pest control service to other businesses in the South West of England.
Having faced rats the size of cats and all manner of creepy crawlies, I've seen sights that would curl your toes, turn your stomach and maybe send the more sensitive among you screaming from the room—or at least leaping for the nearest chair.
With the business thriving, and my two children becoming more independent, I hit the dreaded four oh, and decided to *find myself*. My search for a new direction eventually led me full circle back to my childhood love of creating stories.
Unfortunately, my initial inspiration, Bingo and Charlie, are long gone. (Actually, I hate to admit this, but Bingo is extensively patched and languishing in a wardrobe in the spare room, and I haven't a clue where Charlie is—what a bad mommy I am!)
I'm lucky enough to live near Plymouth in Devon between the windswept expanse of Dartmoor and the rocky Atlantic coast. As well as my wonderful long-suffering husband, and two children, I share my home with two Shih Tzus and an aristocratic chocolate-shaded-silver-burmilla cat who rules the household with a velvet paw. I love to write about the locale and places I've visited. THE MAGIC KNOT was set in Cornwall and Ireland, and the first two sequels I plan are set in Wales and Scotland.
THE MAGIC KNOT was the winner of the American Title IV contest run by Romantic Times Magazine in conjunction with Dorchester Publishing.
