Fire Child's dark heroine is young Tessa who from the age of 12 uses the power of her smile to seduce men, with damaging and dramatic consequences. Sally Emerson's hypnotic, vivid, unputdownable, blazing love story throbs with lust and black humour.

An intense and addictive novel about lost love and the compulsive pull of the past. Passionate, tense and menacing. This is a gripping story of obsession and love - and the difference between the two - by a formidable novelist. Newly re-issued as part of a series of six titles.
