"The Covenant was published in 1995, and won the Romance Writers of American Rita award for best Paranormal Romance.
I enjoyed it quite a bit. Besides the romance element, there is a contemporary suspense story, and a link with an historical story. The various strands of the story are well integrated, with the romance arising naturally as part of the story, rather than driving the story, and with the resolution of the book being more closely tied to the characters' solving their personal problems than to the culmination of their romance..."
"Two sets of lovers intersect at the same location in the rugged rural corner of Arkansas where it meets Oklahoma and Texas, in what was once the Choctaw Nation. Both couples are overloaded with troublesome baggage- emotional and physical- as they are hunted by villains who are searching for cocaine and treasure. The treasure is a payroll of gold captured in a train robbery more than a century ago. One couple lives in the present, the other in 1872...complex, sprawling novel..." Amazon reviews
