Forbidden love... Lakota, Book 1As she travels west to join her cavalry officer father at his Kansas outpost, Kristina Bogard eagerly anticipates new adventures--and her first glimpse of wild Indians. She has long dreamed of flashing black eyes, skin-covered lodges and buckskin and leather. What she finds in Fort Leavenworth, though, is a far cry from her Indian nanny's thrilling stories. What few natives she's encountered have been broken shadows of their proud past. All except one. A handsome warrior who stands tall and proud. A warrior who stirs up an entirely new set of dreams and emotions for Kristina. Tahiska can't take his eyes off the green-eyed beauty whose graceful hands are fluent in his native sign language. But he can't afford to let anything distract him from avenging his father, who was murdered by two white soldiers. Though anger fills his mind, Kristina steals into his heart, igniting a wildfire passion that must remain their desperate secret. For soon comes the day of reckoning, when justice will be served... or a travesty will shatter their love. This book has been previously published.
