On the untamed frontier, a fiery and forbidden love... Fresh from Paris' finest art academy, exquisitely lovely Briana Collins comes home to paint the beautiful wilderness of her native Minnesota. Her ambitious uncle wants her to be a pretty ornament for his political career. But the future Chippewa chief—proud, fierce Night Hawk—wants far more from Briana the moment he casts his dark eyes on her. He cannot resist her, despite the warnings of his tribe. And Briana meets his open desire with her own fervent longing, defying her uncle's threats. Theirs is a passion that sets the frontier aflame, staking their undying love against all the forces of hate.
