Amanda Kane has spent years with a secret society of Lakota
women, who taught her the ancient ways. She has sought the help of the
Grandmothers, from beyond the veil, to help her stop the man behind the mask.
They point her to the visions she has always had of the man she’s destined to
marry—a cowboy who will help save her ranch. But Hawk is no ordinary cowboy. He
carries a powerful secret. A secret that leads to betrayal.
Excerpt:
He was magnificent—standing there, waiting for her to reach
his side. And soon after she did, their lives became irrevocably woven
together. Mandy likened it to a silvery, invisible thread, joining their
hearts. And she knew the Grandmothers smiled.
She felt rebellious right now with their sure vision of her
path. A path with Hawk ... their lives entwined. Her heart pounded—fanciful
thoughts. But her mind soon followed down the path her heart had taken, with
what would have been—could have been—had she not insisted this marriage be in
name only.
“Second thoughts already?” his whisper caressed her face.
She shook her head at Hawk. “No, the marriage has its
merits,” she answered, trying for a neutral tone.
He let that jab slide, grinning. “I wasn’t talking about the
marriage—exactly.”
Startled, she looked up and was captured, completely off
guard, by the intense look in his gold eyes. He’d read her mind again, drat the
man; or was her body giving her away?
She should look away—really she should—but suddenly she
couldn’t remember why.
“Give over, Mandy,” he whispered. His gaze refused to
release her from the fine thread he was weaving around her. She was caressed by
it—captured by it. And each time, the web grew stronger. “You want this
marriage in every way, every bit as much as I; admit it, Mandy.” His low voice
fanned the flames.
Mandy opened her mouth, then shut it. She fought for
control, lost, and opened her mouth again, but the words of denial wouldn’t
come.
His hand touched the side of her face, his thumb sliding
possessively over her lips, stroking her bottom lip again and again until she
thought she would faint with pleasure.
She’d made a fatal mistake with her heart, thinking she
could control this. She should have listened to the danger signs—to all the
warnings, and now it was too late. There was no holding back—any part of her;
at least, not anything strong enough to hold back this tide of love—and desire.
Even though the love part lay only on her side.
She’d been a fool.
And her heart was going to pay the price; but she couldn’t
stop now.
Hawk’s intense, green-gold eyes searched her face, and knew
the exact instant she surrendered, and only by iron will did he wait to hear
the words.
Words avowing her complete surrender.
She nodded.
He shook his head. “Say it,” he softly commanded. “Tell me
what you want.”
Mandy’s tongue darted out to moisten her lips and heard Hawk
groan. She swallowed, her eyes closing for a moment with her body’s reaction to
that simple sound. The fires were rapidly burning out of control. “You.” She
looked into his golden gaze. “I want you.”
