Witchcraft! The townspeople of Glover, North Dakota, had little doubt that was what was happening at the old schoolhouse! They believed Lavender Holland, with her Gypsy clothing, herbal potions and black cat, must be some kind of witch. Wyatt Archer, however, wasn't convinced the eccentric weaver practiced black magic, but from the moment they met, he felt a compelling need to see Lavender again...and again. Maybe the town was right, for Lavender had certainly cast a spell on him. A sense of belonging, that was all Lavender had ever hoped for, but everyone in town felt she was something best avoided. Everyone except Wyatt Archer. Lavender knew fate had brought Wyatt to her, but just as easily, that same fate could rip them apart...forever.

"They call me 'The Cat', but I'm nobody's house pet." His name was John Tiger, but the few who truly knew him called him The Cat. The Indian rancher was locked in a bitter struggle to save the land that was his birthright. It was hard for this proud, solitary man to admit he needed help—and even harder to ask it of Teri Nordstorm, the woman who had haunted his memory for so many years. But this was one battle he could not win alone. Then suddenly, there was far more at stake than land. Suddenly he was fighting to claim a love he had thought was lost forever—and a child he had never known was his.
