Tribal police investigator Joe Youngblood had the heart of an ancient warrior and the raw beauty of the Navajo Nations land he called home. And to photojournalist Delaney Carson, he was more of a threat than the flashback-induced nightmares of Iraqi gunfire and dying colleagues that had ruled her life for the past two years—or the unknown assailant who wanted to silence her. Because Joe Youngblood made her believe in tomorrow. And forever. Most frightening of all, he made her believe in love.

Kali Wallace is spellbound by the breathtaking land that spreads out before her -- and by a proud Blackfeet brave who calls it home. Though she never plans to marry, dedicating her life instead to her career as a photographer, she cannot still the rapid pounding of her heart when Soaring Eagle is near. And when the handsome warrior enters her dream -- one more passionate and intense than any she has ever experienced -- Kali awakens to find that her world has been changed forever. Soaring Eagle trusts no white man -- or woman -- and was hoping the beautiful stranger would leave the reservation once his tribe refused her request to photograph them. Now the spirits have spoken, wedding him in a powerful night vision to this stiff-willed enchantress with moonlight dancing off her golden-red hair, uniting them for all eternity. But their fiery, foretold love goes against all they each believe in -- and it is doomed to end in heartbreak…unless their two worlds can somehow become one.

A STOLEN LIFE Julia Wilson followed her destiny to the Platte River. Now she is an enslaved prisoner of the savage Kiowa. But salvation has come, riding tall and proud from out of Julia's past: a handsome Cheyenne brave who once stirred a girlish heart ...and now inflames a womanly passion. Bitter and vengeful, Neeheeoweo came to the Kiowa for weapons to punish the Pawnee murderers who killed his wife and unborn child. Instead, his ponies and buffalo robes must buy freedom for a friend from days long past. Yet his wounded soul aches for more than friendship from this courageous beauty who calls him "Proud Wolf," though she endangers his mission with her lingering presence. For Julia's eyes shine with a healing forbidden promise of desire--tempting the Wolf to risk honor and life for the chance to know love again.

Married by proxy to a European prince she doesn't love, the princess Sierra will not believe her husband diet in far-off America - and crosses an ocean to discover the truth. But the determined royal lady will need a scout in this wild new land, and she must put her mission and her life in the hands of High Wolf, the proud Cheyenne brave she once loved with all her heart... and should rightly have wed. Years earlier High Wolf learned much as guest in a European court - until a woman's treachery sent him home with his spirit sore but unbroken. Now the regal beauty who deceived him has come to ask for help and his desire is enflamed anew. Honor demands that he lead the princess on her journey. But every moment in her company is rekindling a passion that must not be. And surrendering to a forbidden love could be the gravest peril that lies before them.

Many centuries ago, a village killed the children of the Thunder god. For their crime, the Creator banished them to live a half existence in the land of shadows, neither dead nor alive. But once a generation, a brave is given the opportunity to save his clan. In 1834, that warrior is Swift Hawk. Swift Hawk has until his thirtieth birthday to complete his quest, and in a spirit vision he sees a beautiful white woman in a wagon call to him for help. She moves him in ways he cannot explain. On the run from the law with her brother, Angelia Honeywell is as heavenly to behold as her name is to hear. But she needs rescuing from her brother's latest scheme: impersonating a scout and leading a wagon train across the plains. When Swift Hawk rides to their gaze Swift Hawk knows that the way to break his clan's curse is to show mercy to his enemy, but Angelia finds no mercy from the desire that enflames her every time the brave draws near....

When he was a boy, Red Hawk spent a single afternoon with a beautiful, nymph-like girl. Now, years later, in the quest to free his people, he has tracked her down-and she could very well hold the key to break a centuries-old curse.

Ten years after she survived a cholera epidemic that wiped out her entire wagon train, Carolyn White is on a quest to shake off the bad luck that follows her everywhere and which now threatens her adopted family. The unending string of mishaps can have only one source: the gold piece that she, in childish innocence and wonder, once took from a stolen cache. She tells herself her journey to Crow Country is merely to put the piece back in the cave where she found it. Yet in her heart, she knows it’s the memory of Lone Arrow, the boy who sheltered her there. The boy whose face, now that of a man’s, inhabits her dreams. Lone Arrow’s anger knows no bounds. Anger with the white woman he suspects isn’t being truthful to him. Anger with himself that he cannot ignore the beauty who captured his heart even as a boy. Though trust is in short supply, he can’t deny his burning need for her. Whatever else she may be, she is his destiny.
