Synopsis

Diana Palmer's sizzling historical novels are full of soul-stirring emotion, rich storytelling, and breathtaking desire. Now the winner of a Romantic Times Career Achievement Award carries on her bestselling tradition with THE SAVAGE HEART, a fiery story of a woman with big dreams and a man who has nothing left to believe in--except her. . . .

Tess Meredith and Raven Following shared freedom and friendship on the wild Montana plains. But brutal hardships that plagued the Sioux forced Raven to abandon his people, his heritage--and Tess. In Chicago, he forged a new life as a new man with a new name--until Tess arrived, bringing with her the past he'd tried to deny. But Tess was a fighter, and she would harness all the courage and spirit of a way of life gone forever to wage her greatest battle . . . for love.

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
