After the Thunder

A spirited Choctaw beauty, a reclusive healer, and a dangerous murder charge that could cost him his life.

Cotannah Chisk-Ko is ordered by her brother to return to the Nation to learn to behave like a proper young woman, but she continues her outrageous flirting and is attacked.

Rescued by quiet, spiritual, Walks-With-Spirits, she finds an inner serenity with this man, and when he is unjustly accused of murder, she devotes herself to proving him innocent. When an unexpected death in Tuskahoma incites furious townspeople to brand him a witch, only her fierce loyalty stands between the quiet healer and a swift execution.

On Buckthorn Ridge, he shares his quiet sanctuary with a loyal coyote and a mountain lion, showing her a harmony she has never known. Refusing to let an innocent man die, she scours the Choctaw hills to unmask the real killer before the rifles fire at dawn.

Despite their differences, the two are irresistibly drawn to one another, and discover they are truly soulmates.
