FROM THE PUBLISHER

Elaine Barbieri has taken the Romeo and Juliet scenario and transported this emotional romance to the American West where an idealistic Kiowa, Young Hawk aka Kyle, and a rancher's daughter, Eden Thomas, believe that their love can overcome everyone's prejudice.

But her father's hatred and accusations of murder towards Hawk, and Hawk's belief that Eden has betrayed him, prove too much for even the greatest love.

After years in a white man's prison, Hawk escapes and plots his revenge against Eden as a means to fulfilling his destiny.

Eden has her hands full caring for her embittered wheelchair-bound father, running their ranch and caring for her small son. Hawk's return stuns her, but when he abducts her she is shocked.

Though hate initially drives Hawk, the love they once shared blazes into an all-consuming passion, stirring trouble by its very nature. To preserve their love, Eden and Hawk must not make the same mistakes.
