In her deliciously steamy novellas, Lori Foster introduced the sinfully attractive-and sensual-Winston brothers. Now she continues their story-as sexy Zane Winston sets his roving eyes on the lady of his dreams...Zane Winston is used to fielding women's not-so-subtle advances. But he's still shocked when an exotic gypsy whispers some very suggestive words in his ear-and surprised to find that he's aroused by her words rather than amused. After all, she's not exactly his type...But he soon discovers that Tamara Tremayne's not really all that exotic. Her so-called psychic powers are (mostly) made up. Her waist-length black mane is a wig. And underneath the witchy makeup is a very stubborn, seductive woman-who may be in very serious danger...Tamara refuses to accept Zane's help-but he's still sure she's the woman for him. She may not be supernatural. But she's sassy. Sexy. And totally wild...

Warrior Woman, I cannot explain the powerful magic that carried me back across the centuries to you. In my own time, I am but an actor on the screen. Yet here I stand, curiously at home in a primitive age—a Viking jarl, miraculously resurrected from the flames of oblivion. And you are my destiny, my wild and beautiful Valkyrie. You hide your pain and sadness behind a mask of scorn—but I have glimpsed your secret tenderness from the shadows and felt the radiant warmth of your love. And if I must first conquer you to have you, then conquer I shall—to win your reluctant heart now and for all eternity.

He stands, noble and strong, torn between two worlds—the blood of warring races running through his veins. He is called "half-breed" and "savage". But the hatred and scorn of others cannot extinguish the fire that burns behind his dark eyes...not still the wanting in his proud and passionate heart. Easterner Maggie Donovan trembles with pleasure at her first glimpse of Bronson Kane—unaware that this dangerously handsome Texas ranched whom she has traveled across a country to wed sight unseen is, in reality, a half-breed Comanche known as White Wolf. Angry and appalled, Maggie flees, too late, from her vows and her desire. But Kane knows the beautiful Boston hellion is his true destiny—a reluctant prize he can claim only by conquering her fears and fury with the thunderbolt power of the Wolf's love.
