Publisher Description
Across the American Frontier, an army commander’s daughter never forgets her forbidden true love in this sweeping historical romance.
Known as Flame for her fiery red hair, not to mention her temperament, beautiful Reshelle Russell wants only one man. Unfortunately, he’s the one she can’t have—or so she is told. But Flame has always known that White Fire, the proud Chippewa warrior, is meant for her. Now a grown woman, she has embarked on her quest for him, in defiance of her father, an elite army commander.
Imprisoned for three years by an enemy tribe, White Fire has returned only to discover that his wife is dead and his young son has been taken by a wealthy white couple. It seems nothing can penetrate his cold, embittered heart, much less heal it—until he lays eyes on Flame once more. And soon it is clear that together they can fight to regain all he has lost, amid a passion that was destined to last for a lifetime . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In her latest, Edwards (Savage Bliss, etc.) stretches credibility like so much salt-water taffy. Sadly, her usual believable characters are unconvincing, and the Native American mystique is represented by a pipe-smoking specter. As the half-breed son of a respected army colonel, White Fire had been sheltered in the white man's world, but with the death of his esteemed father, his situationl changes. At the funeral, he shares glances with the most beautiful girl he has ever seen, a red-haired youngster, who happens to be the daughter of the new post commander. White Fire leaves but even years later "Flame" never forgets him. After the death of her mother, Flame's father summons her to the fort he now commands in Minnesota and, in his office, she encounters none other than White Fire. He's just been rescued after three years of captivity with an enemy tribe; his wife is dead and his son has been given up for adoption. What luck. Readers know the glowing embers of passion will have to be fanned to a white-hot flame and all that, but most will be hard put to say why.
