"A shining talent " -- RT Book Reviews Fate revealed their forbidden love. Passion allowed them to follow their hearts. Beautiful and fiery of spirit, Mariah Temple is the daughter of a tyrannical father whose contempt for Native Americans has given them every reason to hate him. Echohawk is the daring Chippewa brave sworn to avenge the wrongs done to his father and his people. But when Mariah and Echohawk meet, the forbidden is unavoidable--bloodlines no longer matter, differences are swept away, and the two become inseparable . . . until a fiercely guarded secret tears them apart. A future together would seem impossible, yet nothing can diminish the smoldering, restless heat of their desire. Praise for Cassie Edwards "A sensitive storyteller who always touches readers' hearts." -- RT Book Reviews "Cassie Edwards captivates with white hot adventure and romance." --Karen Harper "Edwards moves readers with love and compassion." -- Bell, Book & Candle
Mariah Temple was a young woman living in a nightmare. Fathered by a tyrannical man who is also an Indian hater, she is forced to act and dress like a young lad, for fear that too many boys will be attracted to her beauty. At her wits end Mariah doesn't know what to do until her eyes lock with Echohawk.Moving his village to a new, peaceful location, the weight of the destruction falls heavily upon his shoulders. Echohawk is torn by listening to his father's please for peace while his heart is being eaten away with hatred for the white men who enforces harm about his people. He trusts few white people and Mariah isn't one of them.Thrown together by chance and torn apart by hidden truths Mariah and Echohawk have a bumpy road to face. Echohawk falls deeply in love with Mariah's determination and grit and she too falls hard for the future Chief of his people. You can feel the power between these too and there are surprises right up to the end! I thought it was a great book with great supporting characters. A great start to the series. I hope the rest are just as well written!
Very Good Reading
