From New York Times bestselling author Kat Martin comes the spellbinding historical romance that launched her remarkable career.
Mandy Ashton fled a stifling frontier existence for the glittering social whirl of Sacramento City, California’s state capital, trading childhood innocence for a woman’s burning desire. Though it’s risky to masquerade as her flighty cousin, Julia, Mandy is determined to give her cousin a chance at happiness with the man she loves. But Mandy is hardly faint of heart—proven time and again on a journey fraught with deadly adventure and sublime temptation. Travis Langley, known by his Indian name, Hawk, is a white man raised by the Cheyenne, a man trying to make peace with his dual heritage. The last thing he needs is a job chaperoning Julia Ashton, the California governor’s spoiled daughter. But Mandy—posing as Julia—is spirited, captivating, and irresistibly sensuous. By journey’s end, Mandy and Hawk have become helpless prisoners of a smoldering passion that nothing can kill—except, perhaps, the secret Mandy has guarded so carefully throughout the arduous days and passionate nights of their long, magnificent passage.- Available now
