Synopsis

New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Diana Palmer presents a classic romance about a woman with big dreams and a man who has nothing left to believe in...except her

Tess Meredith and Raven Following grew up on the beautiful, wild Montana plains. But their friendship and love were doomed by Raven's Sioux heritage...and his departure from the land of his people. In Chicago, he built a new life, haunted by thoughts of the lovely, spirited young girl he'd left behind. Until she arrived back in his world—bringing with her the past he'd tried to bury. But Tess had changed, too. She'd matured into a woman, and was determined to fight for her rights in society—and for the love of a man who felt he was savage at heart....

About this title

Review:

In this historical romance set in turn-of-the-century Chicago, Diana Palmer proves that when it comes to survival--and love--life in the big city can be just as precarious and suspenseful as in the Western wilderness. With only his long hair and bowie knife as reminders of his Sioux heritage, Matt Davis now runs his own detective agency and passes as white. He's determined to resist the attractions of fiercely independent, newly arrived Tess Meredith, whom he knew years ago as a sharp shootin', hard ridin' girl on the Montana plains. But Tess, who's loved Matt forever, refuses to believe that their racial differences, and society's prejudices, must keep them apart. And when a murder investigation forces them to keep close company--and threatens deadly consequences--they learn just how fiercely they're willing to fight for what they want. Palmer's lively style and passionate love scenes lighten up some story elements that might otherwise be rather dark. --Ellen Edwards
