A man who must choose between his love or his life in this dazzling tale, named a Romantic Times Book Reviews All-Time Favorite.

Rachel Rivers is the most beautiful woman that Brand Selby has ever met. From the moment he laid eyes on the proper schoolteacher and watched her tremble beneath his longing gaze, he knew he wanted nothing more than to win her heart.

But Rachel lives in a land where hatred for the Indian runs deep, and where she is courted by Texas Ranger Jason Brown, Brand's sworn enemy. But the fate of Rachel and Brand's love has already been sealed, and not even the prospect of Rachel being cast out from her own kind, nor the threat of Brand's own demise, can extinguish the flames of desire in their hearts.
