Book #5 in the Wild Series.
With her magnificent copper hair and lovely gray eyes, Stephanie Helton constrasted starkly with the famous 'white Indian," Runner, adoped by the Navaho as a child and now destined to be their leader. Tall, lithe, and darkly sensual, Runner immediately recognized Stephanie as the fire that set his blood blazing...and as his sworn enemy.
Her father's railroad had pushed deep into the Arizona Territory, breaking the promises made to the Navaho, bringing grief and betrayal to the native people. But the hard, urgent force drawing Stephanie and Runner together defied reason and triumphed over old hatreds. Even as he drank deeply of her forbidden kisses and surrendered to the savage desire of their love, Runner felt his soul riven by conflict - he could not both lead his people and join his destiny to this woman's. And Stephanie knew her heart might break when he made his choice.
