Black Eagle is an honorable man. He lives by his people's laws. When he sees Marisa, her beauty entrances him and he dreams of her. Yet when she seeks to innocently flirt with him, it's beyond his strength to deny what she’s asking.

Thus starts a journey that is both perilous, fraught with danger, while bringing two people together regardless of their differences.

Black Eagle is a story of discovery. A story of strength, courage, honor, and most of all of love that has no boundaries. I wasn’t sure I liked the heroine at first. She irritated me on several levels. However, as the story gathered pace, I found myself turned around and my initial thoughts flew out the window. The heroine honestly believed that her step-uncle had some redeeming qualities. I found it hard to understand at first how she could be so loyal to such a man. She was, in turn, not the spoiled brat I first thought her to be but a thoughtful person who thought things through. Black Eagle was a true hero. He had many qualities that any woman would love in a man and the author's description of him in his native clothing had my imagination soaring.

This is a story rich in history. I’ve always been fascinated about the indigenous people of the United States, their customs, and beliefs. The author’s interest and her diligent research are clearly evident in this story. I truly enjoyed reading this novel. It had a rocky start, yet tension gathered as danger surrounded them, leaving you wanting them to find their happy ever after.
