About this title

Review:

The legion of Diana Palmer fans who read her historical romance Magnolia and fell in love with the hero's friend, Matt Davis, will be delighted with The Savage Heart. This is Matt's story, and readers will be captivated by this tale of the handsome Sioux warrior and beautiful, strong Tess Meredith, who saved his life as a young girl.

Matt Davis has carved a place for himself as a private investigator in 1903 Chicago, successfully concealing his Indian heritage. When Tess's father dies in Montana, she writes to Matt and travels to Chicago to join him. Tess has loved Matt all her life, but at the age of 25, has given up hope that he will ever return her affection. Determined to get on with her life, she lives in the same boarding house as Matt and finds employment as a nurse's assistant. Matt is fiercely protective of Tess, but keeping her safe when she becomes involved with a group of suffragettes tries his temper. Once Tess discovers that Matt loves her but refuses to act on his feelings because of his Indian blood, she tests his self-control even further.

Both Matt and Tess are strong-willed and fearless, and their battle of wills is fierce. Filled with Palmer's trademark steamy sensuality, fans will love this satisfying story of two friends who become lovers.
