Lured by fortune, Christa and her family leave the comforts of Boston for the rugged hills of the Pacific Northwest. But tragedy strikes when her parents are taken by cholera, leaving Christa and her brother David with nothing but an isolated cabin to their names. The only escape from poverty lies in Christa's untouched beauty being sold to the highest bidder - and David knows just the man to marry her...But Christa rebels against reason - and riches. Her fiery heart belongs to no man. Yet in the fateful instant her eyes touch upon a perfect stranger, she proves herself wrong. Lean, dark and utterly forbidden, Tall Cloud is the powerful chief of the Suquamish Indians - and Christa's destiny. Now nothing can come between a passion that knows no boundaries - neither an enraged brother, nor a savage enemy from a rival tribe...

About the Author

After my children were grown, I found myself restless, searching for ways to busy my idle hands and mind. I discovered my love of writing, and I was drawn to the mystique of Indian lore. What I learned about the Native American people inspired me to bring their stories to life through the wonderful genre of historical romance.

Having lived in St. Louis for thirty years, my husband and I returned to Mattoon, Illinois, when he retired from teaching. My dream house is peaceful and quiet, where an occasional curious red fox ventures onto my sundeck and peeks into my office, and where I can watch swallows building their nest and raising their babies right outside my kitchen window. It is the perfect place to create my novels.

I feel blessed to have found a “second life,” the first having been spent raising two happy and healthy sons. Writing my Indian romances is my small tribute to those beautiful first people of our land who have suffered so much injustice. And I have just begun. My upcoming books will continue with more passion and adventure and rich historical settings. Enjoy!
